	Does anyone know anything about the decipherment of the written
language of the ancient South Arabian peoples known as Sabaean or Himyaritic?

	A National Geographic from 1964 shows an example that it says has been
deciphered whereas a recent t.v. documentary claimed that it has never been
understood by scholars. Hmmm... 

	Just curious to know where to look for more info. I don't have a
background in any of this at all and I'd love some advice. 

	I did also read that the script developed into the Ge'ez language
of Ethiopia.

	Any help at all would be appreciated. Please e-mail me at:

	Thanks,

Peter Hicks
