Years: 669BCE - 658BCE

Cereal grains and the use of the plow had been introduced into Ethiopia from the region of the Sudan during the second millennium BCE, and a people speaking Ge'ez, a Semitic language, have came to dominate the rich northern highlands of Tigray.

Here, in the seventh century BCE, they establish the kingdom of Da'amat.

This kingdom dominates lands to the west, obtaining ivory, tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn, gold, silver, and slaves and trading them to South Arabian merchants.
