摘要
2019年,对索马里海岸一处古代圣地的非法挖掘发现了大约公元前8 - 7世纪的巨大萨巴aic铭文。这些铭文的内容和文字相似,揭示了其作者的起源(萨巴人可能来自也门的Ma - al - rib),以及该地区的宗教性质,更广泛地说,说明了萨巴人在公元前第一个千年的前半段建立了一个雄心勃勃的贸易网络,从非洲之角供应芳香树脂,以便将它们运送到近东和美索不达米亚。这些铭文还突出表明,早在萨巴人穆卡里布时期,红海和亚丁湾就掌握了航海技术。
In 2019, the illegal excavation of an ancient sanctuary on the Somali coast yielded monumental Sabaic inscriptions from approximately the eighth–seventh centuries BCE. The inscriptions, similar in content and script, have shed light on their authors’ origin (Sabaeans presumably from Maʾrib in Yemen), on the location’s cultic nature, and more broadly on Sabaean endeavours to establish an ambitious trade network in the first half of the first millennium BCE for the supply of aromatic resins from across the Horn of Africa in order to convey them to the Near East and Mesopotamia. These inscriptions also highlight mastery of navigation techniques in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden as early as the period of the Sabaean mukarribs.
期刊介绍:
In recent years the Arabian peninsula has emerged as one of the major new frontiers of archaeological research in the Old World. Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy is a forum for the publication of studies in the archaeology, epigraphy, numismatics, and early history of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Both original articles and short communications in English, French, and German are published, ranging in time from prehistory to the Islamic era.
