By Tesfu Telahoun
A major archeological find has been unearthed at
a location just outside the small town of Wukro, located about
40 kms north of Mekelle, capital of Tigray region. Sources exclusive
to Capital disclosed that following a tip off by an yet unidentified
individual(s), the Tigray Tourism Bureau dispatched an excavation
team to the site and about 20 days ago came upon an unspecified
number of clay tablets with inscriptions in Sabean- the semitic
lingua franca of the Sabean and later Aksumite empires and the
tongue of the Queen of Sheba.

freight, which is costly. “This will enable the exporters

producers and final destinations,” says Mr. Ian Fairlie, Area
Reefer Manager for Sub Saharan Africa.
