Ethiopia and the history not seen

Very interesting ! I enjoyed this much more than I did his trip to the Sudan. Why is it that their are not Ethiopian scholars in archeology to really give one the information that one should have?
I did like the fact that the brother( narrator) was an artist & knew his art history in architecture .
It really makes me sad that all that history is so unknown by many;& unlike Europe the peoples of African can not really take care of these historical sites the way they should be looked after. For one they are busy just trying to feed themselves to stay alive, o propping up some worn out dictator !

Very true perhaps what we westerners gushed about they considers just a bunch of broken down old buildings.

I don't know about that Anansi ! As proud as the Ethiopians are, I know they understand & value their past & history. I see it in the Sudan altho they are conflicted due to them being mostly Muslims & most of ancient Kush is what they consider pagan. They still have great pride in ancient Kush with their .museum & all. But they have oil money to help them with preserving some of their history. I think if Ethiopia had the real money, they would make for sure their historical sites would be well protected & preserved . I could just see & sense the poverty their in Ethiopia. But that might somewhat change for they have discovered oil in certain areas of Ethiopia altho oil has a tendency to corrupt & make rich some & impoverish many. But we will see !

I have been trying to find information on the Ethiopian Saebeans. I have read sites that claim they are the originators of that religion, NOT the Yemenites, which would make sense given the fact Aksum conquered Yemen and colonized it, not the other way around. Conquerers generally do not take the religion of the conquered. However, I have found little information on it, from Ethiopian researchers or anyone else for that matter.
