The ancient Kingdom of Aksūm, located in Ethiopia and Eritrea, was one of the most influential civilizations of the first millennium ce. More than a dozen Aksūmite structures attest to the spread of Christianity from the fourth to the seventh centuries ce. Among these structures, a basilica recently discovered at the site of Betä Sämaʿtiʾ in northern Ethiopia first constructed during the fourth century ce constitutes one of the earliest examples of Christian architecture in Ethiopia. In this paper, we place the basilica of Betä Sämaʿtiʾ in the context of early Ethiopian Christian architecture while highlighting the importance of this new finding for broader studies on the early developments of the basilica form in the Afro-Eurasian Late Antique world. In doing so, we shed light on the connection between Syriac Christianity and the Kingdom of Aksūm and the neighboring Kingdoms of Nobadia, Makuria, and Alodia, which emerged in Nubia after the collapse of Meroe in the fourth century. We also emphasize the adaptation of indigenous pagan elements in influencing the first monotheistic structures of Ethiopia, offering an overview of the shift from paganism to monotheism in the Horn of Africa.

103 Introduction Determining the time of the Yahwistic mercenaries’ migration to the island of Elephantine in Upper Egypt has important implications for understanding the history of this community during their time on the island, their identity, and their cultic profile. In this article, I study this question through all available datapoints, deriving from different disciplines: archaeology, onomastics, genealogies, and, of course, written narratives from Elephantine Yahwistic and Egyptian texts, the Hebrew Bible, and Greek/Hellenistic sources. While the dating of each individual datapoint can certainly be debated, the overall picture, when adding up the available information, points to the reign of Amasis II (570–526 bce), and specifically its latter part, as the most likely period in which the migration—or at least its first wave—occurred. I further suggest that the Yahwistic community first settled on the mainland at Syene, during which time the temple on the island was being prepared and built. They (or, at least, a large portion of them) moved to the island at a later stage. Much has been written about the time of arrival of a community of Yahwists (the Yhwdyʾ) on the island of Elephantine1—an island of the Nile’s first cataract, facing Aswan (Syene). But the answer to this question remains notoriously difficult to trace. While the general view today is that they arrived as mercenaries under the 26th dynasty, also known as the Saite period (664– 526 bce), scholars have offered theories that range across a wide range of historical periods and theoretical

In 648 bce,1 a deadly civil war between two brothers—Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria (668–ca. 631) and Šamaš-šuma-ukīn, king of Babylonia (667–648)— was finally coming to an end.2 After a two-year siege, Ashurbanipal’s army conquered and sacked Babylon, the capital of his once-beloved sibling. The victorious Ashurbanipal did not have the satisfaction of capturing his “unfaithful brother” (aḫu lā kēnu)3 alive, and of executing him as slowly and horrifically as he doubtless would have wished.4 Yet Šamaš-šuma-ukīn did not
