The Royal Medieval Castles of Africa | Visiting Gondar Ethiopia

I dunno man. To be accurate to Game of Thrones you'd need royal incest, and I didn't hear him mention anything about that. Gotta go to the Egyptian pharaohs or European rulers for that stuff.

Truly a Blessed African country! My heart go out to all my Ethiopian Mothers, Brothers and Sisters, whom are the descendants of a very Rich Cultural History, born in a Sacred Land. I Love Ethiopia! Ethiopia! Forever!

2 First, I am going to answer two questions and talk about Matthew 24:24 this evening. Who are those false anointed and false prophets of Matthew 24:24? Where are they and what are they doing? It is time for us to know it in these days of great seduction on the earth. The Bible says that if times were not cut short, no flesh would be saved. And Genesis 6:12 says that all flesh had corrupted their ways. But seeing the Catholic, Protestant, evangelical and Branhamist churches, we feel like if the Lord tarries, there will be many more saved. And despite the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ and the prophets warned us, the whole mankind is plunged in this seduction. 3 Well, I come to the questions. The first one is, "Brother Philippe, what is it of a brother who is far from an assembly and who has a sin to confess?" … If he is far but in the same country, he will confess it the day he will be in an assembly! If he is seriously sick or if he is in another country where there is no assembly, he will do it through his pastor and the pastor will let him know the decision of the assembly. 4 The second question is, "Any African logically bears an African name, how does it come then that your name is just Kacou Philippe?" From my birth to this day, I have been called by only one name: Philippe! All my life, my father and my mother and all my parents have been calling me by only one name: Philippe! A nickname was on my birth certificate but my father removed it! I have no right to change my name but God and he have the right to do so! All the children of my father are called by African names except me alone! My father, my mother, my brothers and my sisters have never called me by another name than Philippe! From my birth to this day, my name is: Philippe! Philippekacou.org

Thank you brother, the Amhara kings and queens were strong and that’s why the west hates them so they spread lies so the horn would hate them. Now Amharas are facing genocide by different ethnics that did don’t have history

[@moshar12]

@@travelandtruth Truth! If you can, also of Tewodros II son, Prince Alemayehu, descendent of Solomon Lineage, was kidnapped...taken prisoner by the British at the tender age of 7 years old, directly at end of the Abyssinian War...did not speak English. No Father, Mother (whom died during captivity) or family. The Prince died at the age of 18, (possibly poisoned to keep him from taking revenge) brokenhearted, alone, dealing with the weather, exclusion and outcaste racism in England, an exploited war trophy, without ever returning to his Mother land Ethiopia. He was not living his natural life. His remains are still in England at Winsor Castle. Though pleaded and petitioned from the Ethiopian Government for his remains to return, British monarch till this very day refuse to do so. Hence possibly poisoned, not by what the Brits say happened. Not many of our Brothers and Sisters know of this.

I know some of Ethiopian history, though little before colonisation for the rest of Africa, as so much history, culture and artifacts have been lost and so many were "pre historic" (meaning they didn't maintain historical writings with traditions of oral history, which though the violence and repression by the gradual hundreds of years of colonial efforts. At least we have some things left. I wonder if these castles were meant only as residences or whether they maintained a defensive role as well? Thank you for sharing your learning and journey!
