Qohaito

As of 2011, Qohaito's stone ruins have yet to be excavated [1]. Rock art near Qohaito appears to indicate habitation in the area since the fifth millennium BC, while the town is known to have survived to the sixth century AD [1]. Qohaito is often identified as the town Koloe described in the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, a Greco-Roman document dated to the end of the first century AD [1]. The settlement thrived as a stop on the trade route between Adulis and Aksum [1].
