Mekabir Ga’ewa Archaeological Site at Adi Akawuh
Located in the southwestern outskirts of
the town of Wukro, Adi Akawuh is a recently discovered archaeological
site. The discovery of the site has created much excitement and interest
among archaeologists. German and Ethiopian archaeologists have
discovered a number of objects, including a statue of a seated woman and
an altar with a Sabaean inscription on it as well as a partially
inscribed podium. A translation of the inscription has already been made
by professor Norbert Nebes of Jena University, Germany. To the surprise
of archaeologists, the inscription mentions the pre-Aksumite Di’amat
kingdom and the temple of Yeha. From the evidence assembled, the site is
tentatively dated to the 8th or 7th century before the birth of Christ.
