  • The Christianisation of Adulis in Light of the Material Evidence
    chapter 17 The Christianisation of Adulis in Light of the Material Evidence Serena Massa and Caterina Giostra 1 The Archaeological Research in the Ancient Town of Adulis The site of Adulis is located on the south-western coast of the Red Sea, in the well-protected bay of Zula, about 40 km south of Massawa, Eritrea.1 In the ancient world it was one of the most important ports connecting East Africa and the Mediterranean along the spice trade route from India. The Adulis commercial vocation was probably already active in the Pharaonic era, in the context of the traffic in precious materials not found in Egypt and sought in the Land of Punt.2 From the size of village3 and oppidum4 reported by the sources in the second half of the first century CE, an increasing development and importance of the site until the Byzantine period is concomitant with the rise of the Aksumite kingdom, of which Adulis represented the gate to the sea.5 1 An independent state since 1993, in antiquity the area was part of the same context of the highland territories that are currently included within the borders of Ethiopia. 2 The location of Adulis can be included in the area of the Land of Punt, identified in the regions bordering the southern Red Sea and perhaps coinciding with the locality of WDDT recorded in the geographical list of the 18th Dynasty. Archaeological levels dating to the lat- ter half of the second millennium–early first millennium BCE were documented by archae- ological excavations: Adulis in this period is considered part of the Afro-Arabian cultural complex, which extends from southern Arabian regions to the Eritrean plateau: R.

NATIONALISM AS A CONTINGENT EVENT: SOME REFLECTIONS ON ETHIO-ERITREAN EXPERIENCE* Mesfin Araya * This paper is a bare outline of a larger manuscript near completion. Dr. Mesfin Araya is a professor of African and African-American Studies and Director of its Research Center at York College, CUNY. Background What is politically significant and what really attracts scholarly research in any nationalism is the awakening of the masses - i.e. the effective transition from elite-based to mass- based nationalism; this study is concerned with that transition in the Eritrean experience in the modern political history of Ethiopia. Eritrea is a multi-ethnic society comprising eight linguistic groups, but historically, the great cultural and political divide has been religion - with roughly equal population distribution between Christians and Moslems.

SIXTH CENTURY* Norbert Nebes Introduction In the spring of the year 519, or perhaps even as early as the preced- ing autumn,' an Alexandrian spice trader named CosmasZtraveling to Taprobane (known today as Sri Lanka) arrived at the ancient Port city of Adulis on the African side of the Red Sea, where he made a short ~tay.~In Cosmas' day, Adulis controlled the Bäb al-Mandab and maintained close ties with the commerciai centers along the South Arabian coast; it attracted merchants from Alexandria and Ailat, and it was from them that Cosmas hoped to obtain valuable information for his journey onward to India. Yet at this point in his account of the journey, Cosmas makes no mention of spices or other commodi- ties. His attention is focused on matters of classical philology. * 'ihe aim of this paper is to provide an oveniew of the political history of the events which took place in the period under discussion.

Arab peoples crossed the Red Sea into Africa perhaps as early as 1000 B.C. There they intermarried with Kushite herders and farmers and passed along their written language, Ge’ez (GEE•ehz). The Arabs also shared their skills of working stone and building dams and aqueducts. This blended group of Africans and Arabs would form the basis of a new and powerful trading kingdom.

During the next century, fierce Assyrians swept into Egypt and drove the Kushite pharaohs south. However, Kush remained a powerful kingdom for over 1,000 years. Finally, a more powerful kingdom arose and conquered Kush. That kingdom was Aksum Aksum's (AHK•soom). It was located south of Kush on a rugged plateau on the Red Sea, Achievements in what are now the countries of Eritrea and Ethiopia. (See map on page 226.)

Anfray and C. Zazzaro. Presses Universitaires du Midi 2016. 116pp., Illustrations and maps. Pb. €23. ISBN-13: 9782810704668. Reviewed by Timothy Insoll, University of Exeter, [email protected] Although not concerned with Islamic archaeology, this book should be of interest to readers of the Journal of Islamic Archaeology, for two reasons. First, it is concerned, in part, with the immediately pre-Islamic period on the Red Sea coast of Africa. Second, it focuses on an area, the Aksumite kingdom, that was intimately associated with the early Muslim community, as it is recorded that a group of the Prophet Muhammad’s followers led by Djaʾfar ibn Abī Tālib fled persecution in Mecca in AD 615 and found asylum in the kingdom of Aksum (Cerulli 1988, 575). The book presents the results of excavations completed by Francis Anfray at the site of “Adoulis” (henceforward Adulis) on the coast of Eritrea. Adulis was the port of Aksum and its gateway to the international trade networks in which the kingdom participated. It is mentioned in the Periplus about the mid-1st century AD. These exca- vations have not previously been published, at least not in any detail, so the volume is a welcome addition to the literature on the later archaeology of northeast Africa. The volume is nicely produced with good quality colour reproductions throughout. The volume starts with a preliminary section describing the first European visitors to the site and in particular the attention that was focused on the inscriptions found there and the issues that they have raised.

  • Underwater Cultural Heritage in Eritrea
    Underwater Cultural Heritage in Eritrea By:Isaias Tesfazghi Eritrea’s maritime environment is rich both in marine biodiversity and underwater cultural heritages. Due to its strategic location, the Red Sea has been an important trade route between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean. One of the ancient trade centers in the Red Sea was the port-city of Adulis, located 56 kms southeast of Massawa. The ancient city of Adulis had trade links with parts of the Mediterranean (Rome and Greece), Indian Ocean (India), and the Far East (China). Then,following the decline of Adulis in the 7th C.AD, the Dahlak Islands became an influential trade center. Along with the introduction of Islam a civilization started to flourish in the Dahlak. There are traces of the civilization such as the necropolis in Dahlak Kebir, 365 cisterns and wells and other structures awaiting thorough research. The archipelago consists of various ancient as well as modern terrestrial and underwater cultural heritages. In 1997, research was done in the ancient wreck of Black Assarca, a joint effort of Eritrean Diving and Training Center (EDTC), Ministry of Marine Resources, and Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA). Some documentation of modern shipwrecks has also been made by EDTC. In addition, with the collaboration of some institutions, the Northern Red Sea Museum has initiated inventory of an underwater cultural heritage (UCH) in parts of the Dahlak Islands and Massawa. Based on the inventory and some historical accounts, we are now able to understand the nature of UCH in Eritrea which includes ancient wrecks, modern cargo and war- ships, fishing boats, airplanes, floating dry docks, T-55 tanks, cars, bombs (detonated and undetonated), and different armaments.
