“I hold Ethiopians in great esteem and I warn you, my followers, not to harm them.” Prophet Mohammed
“It wearied me to write more of these works, because it seemed to me that they will accuse me of untruth . . .there is much more than I have already written, and I have left it that they may not tax me with it being falsehood.” What the Portuguese priest Francisco Alvares wrote in his narrative about the rock hewn churches of Lalibela in 1521. Ethiopia is also famous for more than 200 rock hewn churches found in Tigray, northern Ethiopia.
“The insistence that the Queen of Sheba had been an Ethiopian and the linked pretence that she had borne a son to King Solomon who, in due course, had abducted the Ark from Jerusalem, had more the ring of preposterous fictions than of sober truths. To be sure, I had uncovered a great deal of evidence in Ethiopia – persuasive evidence – which did lend considerable support to the notion that the relic might really lie in the sanctuary chapel in Axum.” Graham Hancock
“ Formerly known as Abyssinia, Ethiopia, according to tradition, was founded long before the birth of Christ, supposedly by the son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba . . . . . . . . . .
“ Ethiopia has always held a special place in my own imagination and the prospect of visiting Ethiopia attracted me more strongly than a trip to France, England, and America combined.”
Nelson Mandela from his book ‘Long Walk to Freedom’
