They even go say we thought the world how to cook eat and shit! Then what more to say, can't argue with them cause they are so prideful you will give up and loose! They think all other civilizations came after them including Egypt and that they will always be the first. They even say they built Egypt,the pyramids and stuff and in Lebanon too because of some lotus symbols which they feel only India had and because Egypt was a desert but they don't know how wrong they are that before how Green and lively Africa was especially the Sahara,this part of history is deleted and i don't understand how their scriptures are stated. I totally don't believe their oldest and also i don't belive that they did everything because Africans were spread all over Earth and were present in all continents! Do people know this? Do they know that there were civilizations other than what we are told. I blame Christianity for this!! I don't care who hates me but look how the world turned out because of their distruction, which they didn't do a good job ,so where things of the past remain they think they are oldest and of Africa they only think of Egypt when we have so many civilizations but the sites are all hidden or covered in sand n what not,i can't even begin to explain how much this angers and hurts my heart when they say we learnt from them and copied them.

I’m raised Catholic and studied the Bible and found out that the people of the tribes of Israel were Ethiopians. The Ethiopian Royal families bloodline traces back to king David and Solomon from the tribe of Judah. The same tribe and bloodline as Maria and Jesus. Search for yourself and you found out that everything is connected with Ethiopia. From Israel, and ancient Kemet were all connected with Ethiopia.

When saying 'Converted to Christianity', it's also important to mention from what religion. Hebrew was the official religion in Ethiopia before Christianity and once the King converted to Christianity there was a bitter war between those who converted along with King Ezana and those who refused to convert. The Ethiopian Jews you see in current Israeli are those who still survived and refused to convert.

Although a form of Judaism and hebrew culture was practiced in the axumite empire and in ethiopia the kings and most of the people were not Jews ,the followed a form south arabian of polytheistic religion ,they worshiped 'al muka, the moon God 'Maharem' the war God

[@eho6380]

Actually, the Hebraic religions were most common in the Axumite Empire and various little kingdoms since Ethiopia was a Christian Kingdom and was a successor of the Axumite Empire, thus not the same. You shouldn't confuse the ''Axumite Empire'' and ''Ethiopia''. Saying they are the same is as saying that the Byzantine Empire and Greece are the same.

You forgot about the war, fought (successfully, with French aid) against the Italians, in Somaliland, in the 1890s. Also, I once read in a book on aviation, that the very first aerial bombing occurred in the Ethiopian civil war, prior to WWI

[@aynalemangaw5807]

It's weird that you skipped the story of a great emperor Minelik II you should tell the whole story correctly if you intend on telling it.

Boggles my mind why this video went into zero detail about the life of the final King of Ethiopia. He was the greatest of them all.

[@JohnDoe-sw1rs]

Tigrays killed 2.4 million Amharas during the past 3 decades, where is your dedication video?

[@aradat9671]

Right!

[@aradat9671]

R u Ethiopian?

[@eho6380]

Uhmm, they didn't. The Ethiopian Government (and their loyal Amhara militia groups) have killed thousands while having raped hundreds.

[@pearls1626]

How is it that you did not mentioned about the battle of Adwa fought against Italy in 1889, with the defeat of Italy by Emperor Minilik II, not only that The Italians came with revenge the second time In 1939 while Atse Haile Selassie was in power and Ethiopia was the founding member of, the then League of Nations and the Emperor made a prophetic speech… “ Today us tomorrow you”, because the western powers refuse to help Ethiopia….. (The League of Nations : it’s members made a Covenant “collective security” included preventing wars through collective security and disarmament and settling international disputes through negotiation and arbitration.) In fact Britain and France in a back door agreement gave a blessing to Italy to wage war against Ethiopia and use poisonous gas and killed innocent farmers. Well sure enough the second WWORLD started in 1941 and devastated Europe. After 5 years of fighting in the end the Italian army was defeated. These victories were very important as the African Union was birthed and afterwards the African nations demanded independence from the colonial powers and most adapted the Ethiopian flag with minor changes. This part was a very decisive moments not only in Ethiopian History but the whole of Africa. You must include it. There is an African Proverb: “Until the lion learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter.”

I am so surprised how as the historians who produced this video don't Mention one of our prominent king of king Menilike the second. I don't think this is a mistake I believe this is delbert forgot historians any ordinary person won't skip or forget Menilike. We are asking why why ??? We appreciate if the producers fix this vedio this is a huge misinformation and distortion of history

"Ethiopia" is not a "Greek" name. This is revisionism by modern Europeans. The earliest manuscript mentioning the word "Ethiopia" i.e the Ezana stones is written in θreɪʃənz/: Θρᾷκες script. translate as Thracian script not Greek.

[@ephemeraljaunt]

@@teddyissak2720 that’s not entirely true while Ezana did say that he was heavily influenced by greeks as most people were and he stated he conquered the ethiopians

[@teddyissak2720]

@@ephemeraljaunt There is no mention of >> Greeks in any of the archeological records mentioned here. The people which Ezana had contact with were not called " Greeks ". He didn't called them Greeks, They were known as θreɪʃənz / Θρᾷκεςe in ge'ez version >> Tsrachians. This is stated on his own records. You can look it up for yourself. It's modern 19th.c scholars who are calling everything and everyone of that time >> Greek. Don't you want to be more consistent when talking about ancient Historical events ? You are right about the second one He did say he conquered Ethiopia, but still the this term is referring to geographic location not necessary a nation or a people.

[@ephemeraljaunt]

@@teddyissak2720 no i mean that he was a fan of greek culture he called himself the apollo or something before he turned christian so it makes sense that he would also call himself ityopia son of cush

Ethiopia is NOT abyssinia. THAT IS THE NAME GIVEN TO ETHIOPIA BY EUROPEANS, Just like Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya. THAT IS NOT THEIR NAMES.

[@Kalleosini]

Yes baby, this is some delicious jam.

[@amanbk9222]

Why did you jump king Minilik II? Is it because he won the war against the Italins?

[@factualtruth6830]

Habesha crossed the Red Sea from modern Yemen Saba in the 1st century. Their first settlement was D’mt followed by Axum. Axum destroyed Ethiopia (Kush). Kush was weak after fighting the Persians and Romans for centuries. They had also lost their territory, Kemet.

2:59 3:01 The Battle of Wayna Daga was a large-scale battle between the Ethiopian forces and the Portuguese Empire and the forces of the Adal Sultanate and the Ottoman Empire in the east of Lake Tana in Ethiopia on 21 February 1543. The available sources give different dates for the battle.[3] Led by the Emperor Galawdewos, the combined army of Ethiopian and Portuguese troops defeated the Adal-Ottoman army led by Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi. Imam Ahmad was killed in the battle and his followers were utterly routed.[4][5]
