The royal match is among the memorable events in the Bible. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ethiopian tradition claims the Ark, which allegedly contained Moses' stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were written, was smuggled to Ethiopia by their son Menelek and is still in that country. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The University said scientists led by Helmut Ziegert had found remains of a 10th-century-BC palace at Axum-Dungur under the palace of a later Christian king. There was evidence the early palace had been torn down and realigned to the path of the star Sirius. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The team hypothesized that Menelek had changed religion and become a worshipper of Sirius while keeping the Ark, described in the Bible as an acacia-wood chest covered with gold. Remains of sacrifices of bullocks were evident around the altar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The research at Axum, which began in 1999, is aimed at documenting the origins of the Ethiopian state and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'The results we have suggest that a Cult of Sothis developed in Ethiopia with the arrival of Judaism and the Ark of the Covenant and continued until 600 AD,' the announcement said. Sothis is the ancient Greek name for a star thought to be Sirius. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The team said evidence for this included Sirius symbols at the site, the debris of sacrifices and the alignment of sacred buildings to the rising-point of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© Deutsche Presse-Agentur&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div

amazing ancient Egyptian civilization. When I come across to the meaning of some hieroglyphics like 'qeter' for time, 'woha' for fish, truly admired the person who strives to unlock the mystery from that unique and unusual writing system. But he just picked out the sea animal for 'woha' instead of the water and 'qeter' for time, where as its real meaning in todays Ethiopian language is noon.  Even some of the ancient ceremonial practices such as burial are parallel with what we can see in Ethiopia today. I am a firm believer that the Pharaohs, the sciences and their languages had been pure Ethiopian, but nothing else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_66zhifyhL3o/R7TDG7NT52I/AAAAAAAAAM0/qAYfVaDROng/s1600-h/ancient+egypt.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_66zhifyhL3o/R7TDG7NT52I/AAAAAAAAAM0/qAYfVaDROng/s320/ancient+egypt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166969196240955234" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the following article is copied from ancientweb &lt;a href="http://www.ancientweb.org/Ethiopia/index.htm"&gt;Click here for more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'About eight hundred years before Christ, the Ethiopian armies began invading Egypt. They were not powerful adversaries, but there was no united power to oppose them. Year after year they won their way further down the Nile, re-assimilating the Egyptian culture as they advanced. They became the chief rulers of upper Egypt. And at length we find the proud record of their king, Piankhi, stating that the princes of lower Egypt, who were at war among themselves, appealed to him as a protector. He assumed the title of Pharaoh, and marching from end to end of the land reduced it all to obedience (727 B.C.). Even the priesthood thankfully accepted him as the one man who could bring order out of all the turmoil. He was crowned at Thebes with all the ancient ceremonials. A Libyan captain had already sat upon the proud throne of the ancient gods; now it was held by an Ethiopian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than one of the Pharaohs of this Ethiopian dynasty are mentioned in Bible history. The most important of them after Piankhi was Taharqua, the Biblical Tirhakah. Neither he nor any other ruler succeeded in establishing much authority over the fighting princes, Libyan and Egyptian, who dwelt in the Nile delta, but Tirhakah did gather them all for an incursion into Palestine. There he made alliance with King Hezekiah of Judah and with King Luliya of Tyre, and defeated and plundered the cities which opposed him. He thus brought down upon himself the wrath of the conquering Assyrians, who had seized Syria and Israel, and who objected to having any one but themselves thus snatch the spoils of Asiatic war.'&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31665225-7527424746705199914?l=sweetethiopia.blogspot.com' alt=''

Radio!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may have heard that due to the generosity of the Google and AMD each of the TED Global Fellows will soon be getting a new Mac or PC laptop. What you may not have heard is that due to generosity of Noah Samara from Worldspace each fellow is also getting a satellite radio and an annual Worldspace subscription. As you can imagine we went, as a famous Kenyan blogger would put it, bananas. But I quickly realised I was going bananas for a different reason from everyone else. All the other fellows are going nuts over the Macs (is anyone seriously choosing a PC?) But me, I was going bananas over the radio.&lt;br /&gt;Walalala.&lt;br /&gt;Satellite radio, for one year. Yani I can wake up at 3am and tune into what the good people of Papua New Guinea are up to? And I’ve always wondered what the theme music for radio news in Peru sounds like. Now I’ll know. On News Year Eve I’ll start listening from Time Zone 1 and check out how each time zone celebrates the New Year! Imagine how many countdowns I will catch! Yeah ok, Macs are cool, very very cool. Lakini, you guy, a radio with a ka small satellite dish, come on now, what is cooler than that!

Not only that has she got passion to the cultural and the way of life of ethiopians in general, but also had such a unique way of explaining it. check it out what she had to say about the tipical &amp; ritual coffee ( bunna) ceremony].&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;   by LaDena “Serkalem” Schnapper (Dessie, Awassa 63–66)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here I am making buna at home. Home? I have wandered the world the past 40 years and feel more at home in an Ethiopian gojo in Wollo than in the States. But my mother’s health was failing; she was alone. Ravaged by osteoporosis and a soon to be diagnosis of cancer, I felt obligated to care for her. How could I, the eldest daughter, not heed the flashing words of the Fourth Commandment blazing like a neon sign in my mind? So it came to be. I returned to my American birthplace, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the U.P. as it is called. Full circle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is through the coffee ceremony that I find solace, strength, and joy. No, it’s not the caffeine. (Did you know the Ethiopian arabica bean has less caffeine than the robusto bean used in American coffee?). I work as a mental health therapist. Daily I listen to people’s anguish, pain, fear, anger, loneliness and struggles of their suffering souls. After a week of work and caring for a sick mother, I deeply need to regenerate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s the carrying out of the ritual, the enacting of the coffee ceremony, that allows renewal to occur. When performed with reverence and purposefulness, ritual creates a connection to a deeper energy field, be it earthly or spiritual. With intent and focus, I am able to move into this ancient custom practiced by hundreds of generations of Ethiopian women, draw the power I so desire and rejuvenate myself. Surely the Queen of Sheba herself made buna!&lt;a href="http://www.ethiopiaeritrearpcvs.org/pages/stories/ladena.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; full article @ ethiopiaeritrearpcvs.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div

This Zagwe dynasty made its capital in Roha, some hundreds of kilometres south of Axum. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a legendary account, King Lalibela was born in Roha. His name means 'the bee recognises its sovereignty'. God ordered him to build 10 monolithic churches, and gave him detailed instructions as to their construction and even their colours. When his brother Harbay abdicated, time had come for Lalibela to fulfil this command. Construction work began and is said to have been carried out with remarkable speed, which is scarcely surprising, for, according to legend, angels joined the labourers by day and in the night did double the amount of work which the men had done during the hours of daylight. &lt;a

shares space inside a tree. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(edited)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Anita Powell, Associated Press&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last update: October 19, 2007 – 5:49 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;HARAR, Ethiopia - For 1,000 years, this city on a hilltop has been a center of Islamic faith in the Horn of Africa, with a forbidding 13-foot-tall wall surrounding ancient mosques and serpentine alleyways.&lt;br /&gt;Harar leaders now hope it can become a center of tourism, as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The future of Harar is tourist attraction," said regional president Murad Abdulhadi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harar was named a UNESCO World Heritage site last year, joining some of the world's top landmarks, such as the Grand Canyon, the Great Wall of China and the Acropolis in Greece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also the fourth holiest city in Islam -- behind Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. And some consider Harar the birthplace of coffee. Its aroma wafts through the cool air of the Ethiopian highlands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of Harar's attractions defy easy explanation, such as the old man who hand-feeds about 50 hyenas every night, treating them like obedient kittens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New hotels on the rise&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the city, which lies about 250 miles from the capital, Addis Ababa, lacks modern amenities and sufficient water. With only a few hotels and the nearest airport more than an hour's drive away, moving Harar into the future is an ambitious plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abdulnasser Idriss, who heads Harar's tourism department, acknowledges the city faces problems in accommodating more than the 4,500 tourists who go there each year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To speed development, the regional government has given a 10-year tax break to anyone interested in building tourist facilities. Federal officials plan to make Harar and its neighboring city, Dire Dawa, part of an advertising campaign to lure tourists from neighboring Djibouti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ethiopian officials would not say how much has been invested so far, but construction is everywhere: unfinished hotels and restaurants dot the road leading into the main part of the city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oil baron Sheik Mohammed Alamoudi, believed to have invested more than $1 billion in his native country, has sent a team to Harar at the request of regional officials to investigate potential to build the city's first luxury hotel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The city is also planning a $34.5 million water project that will increase Harar's available water supply more than sevenfold. Each resident now gets five gallons of water per day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what Harar lacks in modern amenities it more than compensates for in ancient wonders: nearly 100 old mosques, fortress-style walls, alleyways filled with ancient homes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rimbaud lived in Harar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;French poet Arthur Rimbaud lived in Harar in the late 1800s. The airy, colorful house where he resided is now an art gallery showing modern photography and Ethiopian crafts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abdurahman Ibrahim, 38, who lived in Harar as a child but recently returned for a visit, said the city has become much more alluring to tourists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Everything has changed," said the Toronto resident. "Most of the things for the better. The city has grown so much. The road is better. The electricity is better. The water is better."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, as Harar moves further into the modern world, many locals say they're proud of the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Zeydan Bekri, a lifelong Harari, "The basic thing is we want to protect this culture, to keep it as it is for the next generation."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31665225-534390858062819417?l=sweetethiopia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sweetethiopia.blogspot.com/feeds/534390858062819417/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31665225&amp;postID=534390858062819417&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31665225/posts/default/534390858062819417'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31665225/posts/default/534390858062819417'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sweetethiopia.blogspot.com/2007/11/ancient-mosques-and-fortressess-reward.html' title='Ancient mosques and fortressess reward visitors to this UNESCO World Heritage site'/><author><name>ባቲ (Bati)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05630737394093193606</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_66zhifyhL3o/R8eB56_DjxI/AAAAAAAAANk/NDUzdRxJY5A/S220/bati.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_66zhifyhL3o/R0xS9JABigI/AAAAAAAAAKI/QCFDEfgO2jk/s72-c/mosque2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31665225.post-4146222430770035842</id><published>2007-11-23T12:23:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-24T09:24:11.827-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='short story'/><title type='text'>ሥንዝር ታህል ጭውውት __ (ቄሱና ዲያቆን ለይኩን )23</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://metatef.org/wpmu/amargna/2007/11/23/78/"&gt;click here 4 amargna&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31665225-4146222430770035842?l=sweetethiopia.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://metatef.org/wpmu/amargna/2007/11/23/78/' title='ሥንዝር ታህል ጭውውት __ (ቄሱና ዲያቆን ለይኩን )23'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sweetethiopia.blogspot.com/feeds/4146222430770035842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31665225&amp;postID=4146222430770035842&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31665225/posts/default/4146222430770035842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31665225/posts/default/4146222430770035842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sweetethiopia.blogspot.com/2007/11/23.html' title='ሥንዝር ታህል ጭውውት __ (ቄሱና ዲያቆን ለይኩን )23'/><author><name>ባቲ (Bati)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05630737394093193606</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_66zhifyhL3o/R8eB56_DjxI/AAAAAAAAANk/NDUzdRxJY5A/S220/bati.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31665225.post-1226875773872632867</id><published>2007-11-18T02:55:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2008-01-24T09:24:11.827-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fact'/><title type='text'>From Ancient Greece to Samuel Johnston</title><content type='html'>From Ancient Greece to Samuel Johnston &lt;br /&gt; by Richard Pankhurst&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Source: Addis Tribune)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ethiopia has long attracted the interest of European creative writers, who have referred to the country in innumerable different ways in their novels, short stories, plays, poems and songs. The object of the present paper is to examine such  creative literature chronologically and to place it in historical context. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; These works should all be in the Ethiopian Studies Library of the future!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The Ancient Greeks &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first Europeans to employ the term Ethiopia were the ancient Greeks, who used the word to designate all dark-skinned people south of Egypt. The classical authors of Greece made many references to the country. Homer, in the 9th. century BC, wrote in the Odyssey of the Ethiopians as eschatoi andron, or the most remote of men. In Book I of the Iliad he makes Zeus, the king of the gods, leave heaven for twelve days, with all the other gods, to visit the "blameless Ethiopians", while the goddess Iris goes to their country to participate in sacrificial rites to the immortal gods. In the Odyssey the sea god Poseidon is likewise said to have "lingered delighted" at one of the feasts of the Ethiopians.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Almost half a millennium later, in the 5th. century BC, the Greek dramatist Aeschylus had Io, the  wandering woman of Prometheus  Bound, travel to "a far-off land". It was inhabited by "a nation of black men", who lived near "the fountain of the sun" and the "river Aethiops".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Later again, in the 1st. century BC, the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus observed that the Greek hero Hercules and the Greek god of wine Bacchus were both "awed by the piety of the Ethiopians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; "Loved by the gods" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later once again, in the 7th. century AD, the Byzantine writer Stephanus Placidus reiterated that the Ethiopians were "loved by the gods because of their justice, and adds: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; "Juniper frequently leaves heaven and feasts with them [the Ethiopians] because of their justice and the equity of their customs. For the Ethiopians are said to be the justest of men and for that reason the gods love their abode frequently to visit them".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Such passing references to Ethiopia and the Ethiopians may be supplemented by a more comprehensive Greek work set in Ethiopia, which dates from the 3rd. century AD. It was the romance Aethiopika, which tells of the travels south of Egypt, in all probability to Nubia, of the hero, Theagenes, and heroine, Chariclea. This work was translated into many languages. The earliest and best known version, in English, was translated by Thomas Underdowne, and was first published in London in 1587, with the title An Aethiopian History of Heliodorus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The Land of Prester John &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medieval European interest in Ethiopia owed much to the belief that it was the mysterious Land of Prester John, as well as the country from which the Queen of Sheba left on her famous visit to Jerusalem. These two beliefs led to the emergence of a considerable  literature featuring Ethiopia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; One of the first creative writings about the Land of Prester John was an Italian poem by Giulano Dati, in praise of an unnamed ruler of Ethiopia. It appeared in a small pamphlet entitled Lagran Magnificentia del Preste Ianni Signore dell India Maggiore &amp; della Etiopia, i.e. "The Great Magnificence of the Prester John, Lord of the Greater India and of Ethiopia" (Florence, 1500), which was illustrated with wood-cuts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The widespread belief in Italy that Ethiopia was in fact the Land of Prester John found expression shortly afterwards in the Italian author Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, which was published in 1515-33. It has its hero flying over the Christian kingdom of Ethiopia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This was followed half a century later by an anonymous Spanish novel about the loves of an imaginary Ethiopian prince called Luzindaro, who claims he is a prisoner of love. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This work first appeared in a volume entitled Processo de Cartas de Amores... i.e. "Process of Maps of Loves" (Venice, 1553), and was later translated into French, with the more explicit title La complainte et avis, que fait Luzindaro prince d'Ethiopie e l'encontre d'amour, et une dame, i.e. "The Complaint and Advice which  Luzindaro, Prince of Ethiopia, made the Encounter with Love, and a Lady" (Antwerp, 1561).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; French interest in Ethiopia was shortly afterwards enhanced by the arrival in Europe of an Ethiopian envoy Zaga-za-Ab. This inspired the composition of an anonymous French comic story, La reine d'Ethiopie. Historique Comique. i.e. "The Queen of Ethiopia. Comic Story" (Paris 1570). which was set in the Ethiopian court. The author, clearly wishing to distinguish Ethiopians from negroid Africans, insists that the hero of the story had an aquiline nose and was "without thick lips".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; British interest in Prester John led to the publication a generation later of the first English work on the subject. Edward Weble's Rare and Most Wonderful Things (London, 1590).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This was followed by the publication of a further French fictional work on Prester John: Philippe d'Alcripe's La nouvelle fabrique des excellents traits de verite, i.e. "The Novel makes Excellent Qualities of Truth" (Rouen, 1620?). It was long afterwards reprinted in Paris  with further information on the Land of Prester John in 1853.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The Queen  of Sheba &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The legendary account of the Queen of Sheba's visit to Solomon, which impinged on European awareness of Ethiopia, was a further important source of creative writing . One of the earliest literary works on the theme was an anonymous German poet  Zwolff Sibylle weissagungen... Die Kunigin von Saba, Kung Solomo gethane Propheccie, i.e. "Twelve Wise Sayings of the Sybils...The Queen of Sheba, King Solomon according to Prophesy" (Frankfurt, 1531) which was enlivened with wood-cuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; More important, however, was a full-length play on the subject by the renowned Spanish author Dom Pedro Caldéron de la Barca. This work, entitled  La Sibila del Oriente, y Gran Regna de Saba, i.e. "The Sybil of the East, or Great Queen of Sheba" (Madrid, 1750), placed the Queen indisputably in Ethiopia - but, curiously, unlike many of his works, has never been translated into English. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Rasselas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The travels of the Portuguese and Spanish Jesuits in late 16th. and early 17th. century gave rise to a  new European interest in Ethiopia. The renowned British author and lexicographer Samuel Johnson, who had translated the memoirs of one of the Jesuits, Jeronimo Lobo, wrote his famous allegorical novel The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia, in 1759. Based largely on Lobo's account, it told the story of Prince Rasselas and his sister Nekayah. They reputedly  lived in an Ethiopian "happy valley", where, before their eventual escape, they were "confined in a private palace, with the other sons and daughters of Abyssinian royalty" - until their possible succession to the throne was decided. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Johnson's allegory, over the next two centuries, ran into many translations. These included Bengali in 1833, and in Ethiopia's national language Amharic, in 1946-7.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Johnson's Rasselas also soon inspired a today little-known British authoress, Ellis Cornelia Knight, to write a kind of sequel to it. Entitled Dinarbas: A Tale being a Continuation of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia, it appeared in London in 1770, and told of the Ethiopian prince's supposed subsequent travels to Egypt. There he is said to have befriended a young local nobleman called Dinarbas, whose name became the title of the book. This work also ran into several editions, the last in 1823. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; French awareness of Ethiopia subsequently resulted in the publication in Paris, in 1789, of yet another literary work set in Ethiopia. Entitled Grandor ou le heros abissin, histoire héros-politique, "i.e. Grandor or the Abyssinian Hero, History of a Political Hero", it told of the imaginary travels of an Ethiopian nobleman called Grandor, and - particularly relevant in the year of the French Revolution - included passages on subjects then bitterly debated in contemporary France, such as  Aristocracy, Despotism, and Democracy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31665225-1226875773872632867?l=sweetethiopia.blogspot.com' alt=''

Operation Moses  The Jews of Qara &lt;br /&gt;The historical data concerning how a Jewish population first came to settle in Ethiopia is scant due to the lack of written records and the regional prevalence of oral traditions. There are however many theories, of which three are the most widely accepted:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ethiopian Jews are the descendants of the lost ancient Israelite tribe of Dan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They may be the descendants of Menelik I, the fabled son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, as set down in the folkloric, biblical and aggadic Ethiopian Kebra Negast.&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_66zhifyhL3o/RycSlZBFsJI/AAAAAAAAAJw/c2_jF5md4_g/s1600-h/Ethiopian+prist.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_66zhifyhL3o/RycSlZBFsJI/AAAAAAAAAJw/c2_jF5md4_g/s320/Ethiopian+prist.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127087134364512402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They might be descendants of Jews who left Israel for Egypt following the destruction of the First Temple in 586 BCE. &lt;br /&gt;These and other ideas have their supporters, and also their detractors. Regardless, for thousands of years, Jews in Ethiopia maintained a strict pre-Talmudic biblical Judaism. They kept Kashrut (Jewish dietary laws), the laws of ritual cleanliness, and observed the Jewish Sabbath and festivals. The Kesim (religious leaders) were respected as the rabbis of each community and presided over festival services in the ancient liturgical language of Ge'ez. They passed down Jewish tradition orally and maintained the Jewish books and torah scrolls that some communities had preserved in Ge'ez. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The above article is copied from
