ESA: ) was a kingdom located in current region of
Eritrea and northern
Ethiopia that existed during the 8th and 7th centuries BC. Few inscriptions by or about this kingdom exist, as very little archaeological work has taken place. As a result, it is not known whether D`mt ended as a civilization before Aksum's early stages, evolved into the Aksumite state, or was one of the smaller states united in the
Aksumite kingdom possibly around the beginning of our era.
