Himyar Semitic Paganism Level 1

Himyarite Minor Stelae Field

A small monument, with the right sentiment, has every bit the impact of an obelisk.

Stelae are wooden or stone slabs that were used to disseminate information to a population from its rulers. They might have been erected as monuments to commemorate a momentous achievement - such as victory in battle - or to issue decrees from the king or government. Though found right across the ancient world (the most famous probably being the Rosetta Stone that enabled the first translation of Egyptian hieroglyphs), there are many impressive examples of stone stelae in the Horn of Africa, as they were an important means of communication for the kings of Aksum. One, although unfinished, is taller than even the largest of the Egyptian obelisks. One of the largest concentrations of stelae is at Tiya, where over 100 stone slabs have been discovered alongside tombs - indicating they were used to mark graves as well as describe their occupants or patron gods.
