Ethiopia—what do we know about this state in northeastern Africa? That it was once called Abyssinia? That it is one of the oldest Orthodox countries in the world? Not everyone knows that Ethiopia is home to numerous amazing and mysterious monuments dating back to several centuries BC, as well as Christian monasteries from the first centuries of our era. Not everyone knows that tribes and peoples continue to exist here in the protected lands, preserving the customs and mores of the Queen of Sheba, and that almost all Ethiopian emperors are direct descendants of King Solomon.
