12 ET - Tiya (1980)

Brief Description

"Tiya is among the most important of the roughly 160 archaeological sites discovered so far in the Soddo region, south of Addis Ababa. The site contains 36 monuments, including 32 carved stelae covered with symbols, most of which are difficult to decipher. They are the remains of an ancient Ethiopian culture whose age has not yet been precisely determined."

蒂亚

"在亚的斯亚贝巴南部的索多地区迄今为止发现的大约160处考古遗址中,蒂亚石柱是最重要的一处。这里有36处古迹,其中有32个雕刻石柱,刻着很多符号,但大部分都无法解读。这是埃塞俄比亚古代文化的遗存,其年代至今尚无法准确估算。"
