Lalibela was built by Egyptian Copts not Ethiopians

Well no, firstly it wasn’t a continuation that hasn’t been established. Saying it was complicated for Ethiopians makes no sense since there were buildings of these structures present way before contact. As for the Yemeni Sabean theory there is absolutely nothing that predates anything found in the horn there structure wise the buildings are contemporaneous so calling them Sabean is an absolute farce. They all agree that similarities in the structures predate the coming of so called Sabeans so to call it Sabean has no merit.
Wallahi you are a par the inscription in Yeha are literally written in Sabaen and are dedicated to Semitic Gods. The names of the people who lived their literally say they came from Marib in Yemen.

They were shared gods and they clearly state they are contemporaneous with the indigenous architecture so your own source states what I wrote. They were shared gods as well. Absolutely nothing in that source disputes what I wrote
 
even the name for their prison comes from Sudan (Ethiopia), Amharas were mountain apes before the Agew civilized them. They should pick the lice out of their head and wash the jiggers out of their feet before they talk about the noble Somali race.

30 percent of amharas are actually Cushitic Agews. This is the sole reason why they do not live in trees, and indeed all higher “achievements” of amharas come from either the Agew dynasty, or individuals with higher Agew ancestory.
 
None to the extent of lalibela
Most certainly aspects alike so to say it was built by other has absolutely no basis whatsoever and predates any widespread Christianisation of the area. All these people seem to come to build things they didn’t to in their own countries.

It is literally built the same as the ones in Marib. The only people ever mentioned in the inscription are literally from Marib. They also didn’t share gods Attar and Almaqah are expresssly Semitic.

Just because Amhara like yourself have no history doesn’t mean you have to cope about It. The churches are built like Syriac and Coptic churches as confirmed by archaeologists. Just because basic rock carving was done by the proto agews doesn’t mean that they built Lalibela. It’s like comparing a simple stone house to a Palace

Merely stating something doesn’t make it true they make all sorts of claims that they can’t support by evidence, nothing new there, there are also those that state it was clearly indigenous and displays architecture of that already present which it does. Now where is such architecture found elsewhere. These people built things that they didn’t do on their own land.

No and stating they are Semitic means nothing so are the languages spoken in Ethiopia. Secondly no nothing predates that found in Yeha they agree it is contemporaneous, again merely stating something is found in Marib won’t do it needs to proof it was used as a model and they have found nothing that predates that structure


Curtis

"All available evidence suggests endogenous origins for the Ona and Kidane Mehret pre-Aksumite communities and a continuity of occupation, material culture, and subsistence for at least five hundred years. These permanent urban-like agropastoral communities appeared contemporaneously to the rise of the complex South Arabian polity of Saba. There is no evidence that a Sabean tradition of urbanism or technological traditions diffused to the northern Horn in the 9th century BCE simultaneous to their own development. The Pre-Aksumite settlements and contemporaneous Sabean settlements are best viewed as co-evolving."

"Roger Schneider

This thesis was further spelt out, in the following year, by the epigraphist Roger Schneider. Emphasising the entirely unproven character of Conti Rossini’s suppositions, he pointed out for example that the people of northern Ethiopia, living as they did in a rocky environment, did not have to wait for the arrival of the Sabaeans to erect houses built of stone. He argued further that Sabaeans who came to Ethiopia “did not arrive in a cultural vacuum”, but that, on the contrary, a significant Ethiopian state, people, and language had existed well before their advent. He contended further that Sabaean settlement was restricted to a few localities, and did not impinge greatly on Northern Ethiopia as a whole.

Schneider’s final conclusion was that similarities between South Arabian and Ethiopian civilization had in fact existed long before the coming to Ethiopia of the Sabaeans. so no there is absolutely no reason to calling them south Arabian other than to dislocate the history. There is no such thing as a Sabean script in the first place.

They speak Semitic because of Sabaean colonization the you Amhara dimwit. There is a reason why Agew speak Cushitic and Habesha speak Sabaean. The inscriptions at the site literally point to a family from Marib worshipping and maintaining the site.

You have the opinion of two scholars meanwhile I have you a host of archaeological and linguistic evidence. I will once again use your own logic against if Ethiopia did have advanced state building institutions before the Sabaeans where is the Agew Yeha?

show me one indigenous building which is similar to Yeha. None of the rock hewn churches outside Lalibela compare to it. And yes they did build such things in their homeland there are many rock hewn churches in Armenia, and most interior details in Ethiopian churches are just ripped straight from syriac ones

You toad, firstly they don’t speak Sabean, they speak Ge’ez and Proto Ge’ez was found all over dm’t all of the royal inscriptions were found in the latter. There are also significant differences between them which showed that Ge’ez was not an offshoot of any south Arabian language. You’re a bit late to the party so no you do not have linguistic evidence to the contrary. Secondly you really do skirt around my questions, you are merely stating things again please answer my questions posed to you about Marib before deflecting. Lastly do provide those many sources and archaeological sources that dispute such if indeed you have them. Those rock hawk churches in Armenia do not resemble Lalibela in any way and neither is there evidence that they were the catalyst for such. The Geghard monastery was built in the 13 century does not predate Lalibela!!’
In any way and neither

They did have advances buildings that is a fact secondly don’t use my logic against me you need to answer the questions posed to you first that is how it works lastly there was no colonisation. You seem to be reading old Eurocentric garbage need to update your reading

Where is the Agew Yeha? The additional 10% of West Eurasian dna in Habesha is enough to prove my point even the word itself comes from south Semitic stop coping

Such structure is found all over Eritrea in kaskase and Matera nothing has been found that predates structures in Marin absolutely nothing hence why you and archaeologists can’t find any. Citing hocus pocus DNA test is not going to help you no one knows the sample pool but yes Habesha have 10%. Habesha is first written in epigraphic Ge’ez then repeated after the fall of Axum. The way that horners just repeat stuff without doing their due diligence in terms of research is awful
 
Are you tapped?! I said linguistically Ge’ez is not an offshoot do you understand what I’m saying. So Ge’ez is not an offshoot of any south Arabian language with stark differences between then which has already been firmly established. What you showed me is is corresponding letters which is different from derived clearly showing as many have argued and patently obvious that they are parralell innovations. get it together
