Talk:Yeha

Yeah and Yeha
From the article:
 * Yeha is also a common misspelling of the word "yeah" when typing fast in instant messenging clients (i.e. AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, or Yahoo Messenger).

Do we really need to include information about a common typo in Wikipedia? I'm not even sure this would qualify as something that should be kept on Wikitionary. -- llywrch 23:46, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Hells yeah we need this, it's very important.

This article is a stub. It is also inaccurate, for a very long time People have claimed that ethiopian cultures are not indigenous and have only been made possible by outside influence and migration from non-african areas, this is racist and revisionist. I would like to rework the article since i am from Yeha myself.

The sabean influence or founding of Yeha and other ancient archeological sites was the traditional belief european archeologists held. But for example the so called ancient south arabian script is first found in erirea in the 9th century BC. The amount of Sabean influence is not known today. I would like to propose to revamp this article to stop perpetuating the tired trope that all ancient african cultures originated from the outside.

Furthermore I would like to extend the parts of this article that are actually on the place itself.

A lot of this appears to have been written by people who never set foot into Yeha... for starters the church which was built in the 6th century BC is worth a mention, and also that the temple is located in the yard of said church.

I would also like to add the legend the people of Yeha tell about the destruction of the temple...but i cannot give any written sources for this since it is an oral myth/legend and not written down as far as i know. But since this is what the people in the town themselves believe maybe there is sources that can coroborate (maybe archeologists have mentioned it in articles).

I am not going to make any edits without good sources or without giving time for discussion. looking forward to your input, would be great if any of the people who went there as archeologist could chip in.

Yeha
Calling Yeha south Arabian when no such structure predates any found in south Arabia is a farce 2A02:C7C:36FF:3600:886A:A431:DFB9:95E2 (talk) 00:17, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
