Indiens et Proche-Orientaux dans une grotte de Suquṭrā (Yémen)

DRIDI, H.·2002·Journal Asiatique

Abstract

Les sources anciennes situent l'île de Suquṭrā, au débouché du golfe d'Aden, entre la corne de l'Afrique et la péninsule Arabique et précisent qu'elle se trouvait sur les routes commerciales reliant la Méditerranée au sous-continent indien. Ces mêmes sources indiquent également qu'elle était peuplée d'Arabiques et d'Indiens. Mais malgré les prospections et les fouilles menées à partir de la fin du XIXe s., l'archéologie n'a toujours pas livré des témoignages indiscutables en faveur de telles assertions. À l'occasion du tournage d'un film documentaire, nous avons pu explorer la grotte de Hoq et y observer des vestiges archéologiques d'importance pour l'histoire de l'île. En plus des nombreux brûle-parfums et des graffitis rédigés en brahmi, en sudarabique et en guèze, cette grotte recelait une tablette en bois portant une inscription de type palmyrénien. Ces témoignages permettent non seulement de confirmer la présence d'Arabiques et d'Indiens sur l'île, mais fournissent également des données inédites d'une part sur les pratiques cultuelles locales et d'autre part sur la présence de Proche-Orientaux dans l'océan Indien au IIIe s. ap. J.-C. Historical sources report that the island of Suquṭrā at the outlet of the Gulf of Aden, between East Africa and the Arabian peninsula, was situated along the trade routes linksing the Mediterranean area to the Indian sub-continent. It is equally reported that the island was partially inhabited by Indians and Arabians. owever despite the inve…

  • These finds now place Socotra as a major node in the pre-Islamic Indian Ocean network.

    “Along with the spectacular epigraphic record of approximately 250 inscriptions from the Hoq cave (Dridi 2002;Robin and Gorea 2002;Strauch 2012;Strauch and Bukharin 2004), these finds now place Socotra as a major node in the pre-Islamic Indian Ocean network.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
