| Summary: | During the 9th century BC, at the latest, intense cultural contacts existed between South Arabia and the areas of northern Ethiopia (Tigray) and south-eastern Eritrea (Akkälä Guzay). In the following article, the reasons and mechanism for this interaction are discussed with regard to the results that have been made in recent fieldwork and epigraphic studies at the pre-Aksumite site of Yeha (Ethiopia). Spätestens seit dem 9. Jh. v. Chr. bestehen zwischen Südarabien und den Gebieten des nördlichen Äthiopien (Tigray) und südöstlichen Eritrea (Akkälä Guzay) intensive kulturelle Kontakte. In dem Artikel werden die Gründe und Mechanismen dieser Interaktion im Hinblick auf die Ergebnisse der jüngsten Feldforschungen und epigraphischen Studien in dem prä-aksumitischen Fundplatz Yeha (Äthiopien) diskutiert. |
