[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] Yom [QUOTE] Sabaeans certainly originated in Yemen and Ethiopians in Ethiopia, however there has obviously been mutual cultural influence since time immemorial. Regarding the nature of the early complex, it is not really known, so we can't make any conclusions or assumptions. It is my belief that facets of the culture were not imports by either Ethiopia or Saba' (at that time period), but shared inherited culture from an earlier era, based on the antiquity of contacts (e.g. Tihama cultural complex). Even if this is true, however, it still might be possible to ascribe an African or Asian origin on certain cultural traits through examining any predecessor cultural complexes. There's much archaeological work to be done (Aksum, the most excavated site in Ethiopia is only 3% so; Yemen isn't very well-excavated either), however, so much that making conclusions are difficult and very tentative. Regarding inscriptions, who knows as to pre-Aksumite inscriptions. I was mainly referring to inscriptions between 200 AD and 525 AD, but I wouldn't be surprised if earlier inscriptions are found due to the proximity of the countries and because of trade. [/QUOTE]Thank you. Now I see that we are talking about two different time periods. If you are using epigraphic evidence dating to this late period it is difficult to argue about events taking place almost 1000 years before these inscriptions were written. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
