Ethiopia’s Legacy of Ancient Heritage and Modern Renaissance

In Ethiopia, Afua Hirsch traces a proud 3,000-year history as significant as any civilisation in the west. A beacon for the black diaspora, Ethiopia's story is one of defiant independence, of kings and communists.

I may not be an expert on Ethiopia, but when they pretend things that involve Israel, in that realm I am aware of truth more than most. Their claims to having the Ark are pure fiction. If one takes a close look at the history of the region, it isn't hard to see a corruption of multiple faiths all thrown together. If you have a particular subject you wish to talk about please let me know.

[@karlshaner2453]

@@aaronhill212 Since you have not responded. Let us look at the facts according to the bible..."Sheba was a queen of her own country"...She traveled on what one would call a state visit. "Solomon treated her as a King would treat a foreign leader". "She gave him gifts from her country"..."He gave her gifts from his"..." She returns home"...All this happens in the space of one chapter, in the bible. It doesn't take a genius to see the truth of it. No child, no marriage, no stealing away the Ark(that remained in Jerusalem well after his death). Many things that have happened in history have been corrupted into false myths. Sadly a whole nation has fallen for a myth.

Ethiopia what a beautiful country and people. Even, I have never been there yet, I am in love with this country and people. Actually, the fulani people in West Africa (Sénégal, Mali, Guinée...) are originated from kush-kemets empire according to Cheikh Anta Diop. The music played by the Guez singers are pretty the same as my fulani music called "Fantang" and "ndiarou", which connect us through our commun ancesters...We are connected 🇸🇳🇪🇹🥰❤️🖤💚

[@angelicaterry3367]

Some fulani herds people in Nigeria seem to want all the land and forests, be it in the east or south, for their cattle. They used to respect farm land and people respected them back, live and let live. Now they go as far as demanding what they want from the tip of a rifle. And have proved over and over to be deadly for farmers. Because the fulani have ethnic links to the nigerian leaders favoured by britain, the farmers cannot take up arms against them for fear of being imprisoned. Meanwhile nothing happens to the fulani herds people. And this is just one of nigeria's many issues.

[@st3019]

Fulani people do NOT originate from “ Kemet-Kush “ nonsense. Ancient Egypt ( Kemet) was NOT a black civilization. Nubians were dark skin people. Ancient Egypt and Nubia were connected with each other and they were more integrated with other civilizations in Fertile Crescent . Ancient Egyptians and Nubians were using chariots and wheels since thousands of years before BC . In other parts of Africa the wheel was introduced by European colonialism in 19th century. That shows there was absolutely NO connection between those two parts of the continent. You have to do more research!

[@vernonrobinson1685]

​@st3019 Ancient Egypts pre dynastic civilization was Nilo Saharan, aboriginal Africans. The wheel or lack thereof doesn't change that. By that logic, Japan had no wheel so it has no connection to China or Korea for the same reason. YOU need to more research instead of scoffing.

my friends little girl is a doctor and has just finished a run with the red cross in Ethiopia. from what she has said if you do go stay in the big urban locations. the country side is very unpredictable. you can be a safe as you would be in any other bit of the civilized world. but go ten miles down the road and be in bandit country. so if your going to go wondering get a guide. also be very carful of the water she treated two of her team for worms and worm infestation seems to be endemic in some parts of the country. most water is infested with parasites and is a bit toxic. never have ice in a drink even in a top class hotel as the ice will be made from well water and not boiled first. you will also find the drugs use is extremely common and night life even in big towns is very dangerous. there is still a lot of fighting going on in parts of the country so i would say about half the country is anything from a bit suspect to you are going to die if you go there. its a same the view you get in the film is very limited and extremely selective. if you are going to present a country you should do it warts and all or its just a parody. but i can see why the presenter is doing it. all we get to hear about Ethiopia now a days is war, starvation and the way women are abused and miss used.

We learn about the Christian Empire in Abyssinia which helped Muslims during the early days of the religion. Muslims were being killed for accepting a new faith and knew that there was a Christian king who was kind and welcoming to all. This was over 1400 years ago, way before colonialisation. The empire was rule by An-Najash, the just king and a man of faith. Its amazing to think of all the connections our forefathers made with people from all over. The strength of the human connection still prevails.
