За Краљевство Аксум се дуго држало да су га основали Саби који су прешли преко Црвеног мора из Јужне Арабије (данашњи Јемен ) на територију Етиопије.Једна од легенди је да је прамајка, оснивачица државе, била Сапкиња по имену Македа. Аксумско царство (староетиопски:Mangiśta Aksum), била је важна држава у североисточној Африци, која је свој успон и раст отпочела од 4. веку п. н. е. да би свој зенит досегла у 1. веку наше ере.
evo malo glasnog razmišljanja...možda pomogne...
Sabeani
The Sabaeans were mentioned in the Quran twice قوم سبأ people of Saba. The Qur'an, mentions the kingdom of the Saba in the 34th Chapter. The Qur'anic narrative, from sura 27 (An-Naml),[5] has Suleiman (Solomon) getting reports from the Hoopoe bird about the kingdom of Saba, ruled by a queen whose people worship the sun instead of God.

dakle to su ljudi koji obožavaju sunčevu svetlost....
u zapadnom delu zemlje je grad Kartum a u istočnom grad Saba
zanimljivo nešto severnije i kasnije stanovnici feničanskog grada Tir (čita se kao Sur /Suru u tom delu sveta) dali su grad i državu Kartagenu
u centralnoj Aziji i dan danas postoji naziv Sart i beli Sart
od Taurusa pa do Kaspijskog jezera danas žive Kurdi. a na istok odatle Sart ljudi centralne Azije i bliskog istoka...
srodne zemlje / narodi koji idu u parovima
Kartum i Saba
Kartagena i Sirija
Kurdi i Sart
Khorasan i Serica
Hirri i Scirii
Helvetti i Scordisci
Hrvati i Srbi
pomalo podseća na kentum/satem razlike u imenima...ali je mislim ipak nešto drugo -dan i noć tj. istok i zapad...
naročito ako znamo da se u antičkim izvorima ne pominju Kurdi nego Kurti...a pre toga Huriti
naravno zapisana imena su uvek i stvar jezika koji ih zapisuje...
npr. reku Haeravanta Grci su zapisivali kao Orontes i ostaje nam da se pitamo da li su Orineani koji na kaspijskim visoravnima živeli zapadno od Serba i tik do njih bili ustvari Haervanti ili nešto slično....
tako da je moguće i da je izvorno isto ime npr. Šaerdi /Šaerdana dobilo oblike Sart/Sardi /Kurdi /Sarve /Sirbi /Serbi itd. neke u stvarnom narodima izvedenim iz prvobitne mase a neke samo u zapisu jezika na kome su pisali istoričari....
teško je reći npr. koje je sopstveno ime Šaerdana ljudi za kojima je na sinajskom poluostrvu (tj. blizu severnih obala Crvenog mora) ostao toponim Serbonis...
i da li su potomci Šerdana i Sabeana iliti Saba bili upravo oni Senekini Serijani koji krvavo vladaju Crvenim morem a inače žive i oko Dunava i na kaspijskim visoravnima među Sarmatima i u zemlji Serica u centralnoj Aziji
Sart is a name for the settled inhabitants of Central Asia and the Middle East, which has had shifting meanings over the centuries. Sarts, known sometimes as Ak-Sart ("White Sart") in ancient times, did not have any particular ethnic identification, and were usually (though not always) town-dwellers.

13-th century Mongolian source, "Secret History of the Mongols" states that the Mongols called people from Central Asia, most notably Khwarezm, as "Sartuul". "Sar" in Mongolian means "moon", hence sart or sarta would mean "ones with (flag with) moon",
...
In the post-Mongol period we find that Ali Sher Nawa'i refers to the Iranian people as "Sart Ulusi" (Sart Ulus, i.e. Sart people), and for him "Sart tili" (Sart language) was a synonym for the Persian language.
....
In June 2010 The term "SART" was used in ethnic conflict between Kirghiz and Uzbeks on Southern Kirghistan to indicate less mongoloid race, Uzbeks from Kirghiz.
...
Interestingly, the Muslim, Mongol-speaking Dongxiang people of Northwestern China call themselves Sarta or Santa. It is not clear if there is any connection between this term and the Sarts of Central Asia.

The modern Uzbek people are believed to have both Iranian and Turkic ancestry. "Uzbek" and "Tajik" are modern designations given to the culturally homogeneous, sedentary population of Central Asia. The local ancestors of both groups – the Turkic-speaking Uzbeks and the Iranian-speaking Tajiks – were known as "Sarts" ("sedentary merchants") prior to the Russian conquest of Central Asia, while "Uzbek" or "Turk" were the names given to the nomadic and semi-nomadic populations of the area. Still today, modern Uzbeks and Tajiks are known as "Sarts" to their Turkic neighbours, the Kazakhs and the Kyrgyz. The ancient Soghdians and Bactrians are among their ancestors.

Seneka u delu Thyestes piše o hrabrim Serijanima koji vladaju Skitima, žive na Dunavu, žive u zemlji odakle dolazi svila (Serica danas severoistočna Kina i Sogdiana gde žive Sart i Sarta, a u širem smislu i luk odatle do Indije - otprilike tamo gde danas žive paštunski Sarbani), žive na Kaspijskim visoravnima (kao i Serbi koje beleži Plinije) ali i na Crvenom moru (kao Sabeani mnogo ranije) kojim surovo vladaju...
[369] Though kings should gather themselves together, both they who vex the scattered Scythians and they who dwell upon the Red Sea’s marge, who hold wide sway o’er the blood-red main with its gleaming pearls, they who leave unguarded26 the Caspian heights to the bold Sarmatians; though he strive against him, who dares on foot to tread the Danube’s waves27 and (whersoe’er they dwell,) the Serians28 for fleeces famous – ‘tis the upright mind that holds true sovereignty. He has no need of horses, none of arms and the coward weapons which the Parthian hurls from far when he feigns flight, no need of engines hurling rocks, stationed to batter cities to the ground. A king is he who has no fear; a king is he who shall naught desire. Such kingdom on himself each man bestows.

Plinije Stariji nam pak kaže da se ovi ljudoi zovu Serve
They also informed us that the side of their island which lies opposite to India is ten thousand stadia in length, and runs in a south-easterly direction—that beyond the Emodian Mountains they look towards17 the Serve, whose acquaintance they had also made in the pursuits of commerce; that the father of Rachias had frequently visited their country, and that the Seræ always came to meet them on their arrival. These people, they said, exceeded the ordinary human height, had flaxen hair, and blue eyes, and made an uncouth sort of noise by way of talking, having no language of their own for the pur- pose of communicating their thoughts.

kineski izvori nam pak kažu da su ovi Seres / Sart ljudi u stvari nosili ime Serbi/Sirbi
tj da su “Shiwei” “Xianbei” zapisani i kao “Sian-pie,” “Serbi,” “Sirbi” and “Sirvi”.

Pomponijus Mela nam pak kaže da Seres žitelji zemlje Serice žive od Taurusa do Tibeta između Skita i Persijanaca... jasno je da su za njega Kurdi i Sarti isti etnos - Seres tj. Serijani....ovo možemo shvatiti i tako da je Seriani nadime dok su Kurdi/Kurti/Huriti i Sart/Sarve plemena
na kraju bavarski geograf nam kaže da su Zeriuani pleme koje je držalo prostranstva tako velika da iz njih dolaze svi Sloveni...
