This page is full of Eurocentric fallacies that have been refuted. There was no colonisation and no evidence of such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.190.236.134 ( talk) 20:13, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
The previously established assumptions that south Arabians had influenced the Ethiopians for the rise and development of the civilization were reversely argued. Pirenne (1988) for example argued that the cultural expansion did not take place from Yemen to Ethiopia, but conversely, from Ethiopia to Yemen. This theory accepts the presence of Sabeans in Ethiopia whose reason of entering Ethiopia was differently postulated. These Sabeans would have then left for Yemen taking with them the technique of architecture and writing system which they had mastered in Ethiopia. On the other hand, Isaac and Felder (1988) postulate that cultural developments may have occurred concurrently on both sides of the Red Sea region. Similar dating of some monuments falling in the 5th century BC in Ethiopia and South Arabia on the basis of palaeographical study (Munro-Hay, 1991), and the contemporaneous dating of between 7th-5th centuries BC of the Yeha Great Temple and some of South Arabian Temples (Robin and Maigret, 1998) may strengthen the view of Isaac and Felder. It has been believed by some scholars (e.g. Fattovich, 2004) that the Sabeans had also influenced the Da‟amat state by means of direct political control. Some inscriptions from Da‟amat sites of Ethiopia may, however, help to disprove this notion. The translation of an inscription on an incense burner from Addi Akaweh relates that a king known as Rd’m was “King of Da‟amat, its East and its West, its Sabaeans and its immigrants, its Red and its Dark” (Gajda and Yohannes, 2009: 52). It can evidently be deduced from this inscription that the Sabeans had no political control over Ethiopians, and even rather it seems that the land of Saba and its people was under the control of the king of Da‟amat, as the phrases “its East”, “its Sabaeans…”, and “its Red” most likely referring to the people of South Arabians and Sabeans across the Red Sea region. So far, there is no proof of south Arabian political domination on the Ethiopians (Munro-Hay, 1991).
