- Travel video about destination Abyssinia in Ethiopia.
Abyssinia is a mysterious country located in the mountains of Africa which today is known as Ethiopia, the cradle of early Christianity and a unique land of biblical stories and myths. Historic Aksum, in northern Ethiopia, was once the capital of a powerful kingdom. On the site of two previous religious buildings, its ancient cathedral was rebuilt in 1665. Thrones constructed of stone have witnessed the coronation of various monarchs whose Ethiopian Orthodox faith, from the fifth century, spread far and wide. From the Eastern Roman Empire, fleeing missionaries known as Monophysites introduced the ancient Christian faith which taught that Christ had only one divine nature. Eventually the concept of a division of faith came into being and Ethiopian Christianity developed independently and Aksum became a sacred city. Aksum is also referred to as ‘Ethiopian Rome’ and is the capital of the oldest Christian kingdom in the world, the largest outside the Roman Empire. In the north, the large water basins of May Shum are known as The Baths Of The Queen Of Saba. They date back to Aksumitic times and have been frequently renovated. A huge cistern supplies much of the population with water and on a hill above the town are the underground grave chambers of King Kaleb and Gebre Masqal. Although little remains of the former capital of the Aksumitic kingdom, Ethiopia's holiest site, it continues to be a place of mystique and legend. Dawit The Third, a son of Emperor Iyasu, had his palace built in the north of Fasil Ghebbi, protected by a nine hundred metre long wall. The large ballroom was known as Singer Hall because within it contests were held that featured wandering minstrels, and Dawit played the harp. Today, the lion cages are empty but Hailie Selassie, the last emperor of Ethiopia, possessed one as a symbol of his origin as having been from the Tribe of Judah. Without a doubt, Gondar will forever evoke a special kind of nostalgia and a rich sense of history.

There are a few errors in this report. Ethiopia (Aksum) has already accepted and made Christianity official state religion before those monks came to Aksum. They did help expanding it to other party of Ethiopia and help built schools and monastery. Stop misinforming people pls. We accepted Christianity at 320AD (with King Ezana). Rome made Christianity official state religion after we did.

Not the Original Color of the People Faces, i have seen there original Complexions they were dark, didn't you hear the man that is Speaking say they redid, a lot of things in the 16 Theenth CENTURY, who made them look that Complexion. WHy Can't we get more TRUTH'S instead of CHANGES, when it comes to things that Original from those that are not Original. It comes from People tring to place themselves their.

AkSum 💒💒💒💊💊💊
What is he talking about, Oromo tribe, things taken from where to where???
There is some wrong information on this documentary.
@ 10:07 mentions 13th century "Amhara sovereign" but no such thing existed then.
Amhara sovereign is the creation of EPRDF formation of FDRE under the current Ethiopian 🇪🇹 constitution in 1994.
Do do the Ethiopians possess the ark of the covenant
Ofcourse
They were the nice Christian who use to live here and use to belive in one real God Allah ❤️
you mean God
Allah translates to god.
@@ambientcalm3125 nah God is God i dont know what allah is but its not GOd
@@user-zh2yc9hk9b god is in English . There is more than one language you do realise that right?
@@ambientcalm3125 first of god is not God !! Also God and Allah are different bc the one that u call Allah is clearly not God
14:45 Biet Urael (House Urael?)... The direction signs in the trenches of Lalibela are misspelled as Biet instead of Bete. Bete (House of) is the Ge'ez form. Biet leans towards Hebrew, and it is a different grammatical convention. You are in Abyssinia. It is a mistake inapplicable to the place, and corrosive of the meaning. The correct way is Bete Urael (House of Urael), Bete Giorgis, Bete Debre Sina etc. Not Biet Urael, Biet Giorigs etc. That is sloppy, who ever did it. Perhaps UNESCO unwittingly. It should be corrected.
It's disrespectful.
Yes king 👑 ezana is not converted to Christianity, he accepted the Christianity, because Ethiopian at that time was ruled by the low of Moses (in the law of the old testament ) for many years. When we converted to Christianity ,we don't kill any prophet, like western and romance, because Ethiopian have understand about the prophecy of the coming of chriest. so we come from old testament to the New testment ! (We make transforme ) . The 1st Christian follower in the world 🌍
Jesus was red skinned tall and handsomerest of all Jews and gentiles of that time all together beautiful.
The Romans, called Him Christ, but the Ethiopians, knew that He was a descendant from David, ablack man.
The king Negus the first cristian converted in islamic and king hercules
Yes negash islam king akisum Christian king am from Ethiopia tigray 💒❤🕌❤💒❤🕌❤
Great documentary. I just wish the Ethiopian church along with other churches will stop using that false image of Jesus Christ. Because, it's breaking the 2nd commandment which tells us not to have an image of God. This is why the disciples never described Jesus's physical appearance to us in the Bible. Other than that love this!

What do you mean by false image of Jesus, do you know the original one or have you ever met Jesus, you are ignorant.
welesh mahary it's her culture calm down. No one now's what Jesus looked like.
It doesn’t say false image of God it says image of other idols other than God....
King lalibela is Ethiopian
way to many commercials...
!
we never did believe in the so called one nature to say Christ only had divine nature but to say if their is union there is only one composite nature. It has always been condemned to deny the humanity of Christ.
Its a little too offensive to just shout every allegation portrayed by Rome.
so haile selassie believed CHRIST had only one divine nature/ 1965 cathedral is not beautiful/130 stelae in aksum/10/45 world redeemer church of house of saviour/13 century king lalibela/new jerusalem/zagwe dynasty that followed aksum dynasty/this 8th wonder of the world built by stonemasons from jerusalem/alexandria/37 islands of lake tana has churches/monasteries like holy stefanos/also 5 emperors lie here eg 1382/1430 and crowns /fascinating documentary
You are very wrong when taking about the fallen oblisk, it was crashed down , by Queen Youdit a Muslim when tried to take it to her country . Do your homework.
If this traveling individual is somehow trying to expose ethiopia in some way, why not at least get the facts straight. Ethiopia is so much more than just its history, which some facts are way off anyway
It is really Sad that the Axumite Kingdom is hijacked by the Ethiopians. Axum was never Ethiopian and it will never be!
When he started with myths, I knew this would be somewhat misleading.
Fact: Ethiopians never called themselves "Abyssinians".
The name itself is native to Ethiopia. I mean Abyssinia sounds like a word from a native language to Ethiopia, while Ethiopia was a greek word that was used to call all the known black Africa. i.e the known subsaharan nations, kingdoms like Nubia, Axum and Punt kingdoms.
@@hasanitto nope. It's a corrupted name(Arabic-Habashi) given by the Portuguese around 16th century.
The name "Ethiopia" was there way before the greeks even started their civilization, even on some of ancient Geez script there was king named Etiyopus. The name Ethiopia have deeper meaning to Ethiopians than the "sun burnt faces" of the greek derivation.
@@hasanitto fyi dynasties and nations are two different things.
@@PlRATE arabs called Solomonic Kingdom in current Ethiopia as Habashia. So tell me how Habashia ended as Abyssinia. These are two completely different words.
and by the word Ethiopia originaly, well believe it or not it was the name of the continent itself. And it derived from Utopia i.e paradise coz those days the outsiders, they saw how the rivers in all of east Africa and a rounding areas look liked a paradise and hosted several kingdoms or Empires. And In Solomonic dynasties is when they adopted the name in to their Books and figures and later officially adopted in the late 20th Century.
So mr Kahsay correct me if am wrong.🤷🏽♂️
@@hasanitto The late portuguese explorers gave the name to the northern part of present day Ethiopia and the arabic etymology was also given to the same geographical location.
Utopia is a platonic fairytale and the greeks pretty well know the difference between fact and fiction.
Yes, the name aethiopia was given to almost all African parts even Atlantic ocean was aethiopian ocean but its given by the greeks who happened to know less about the far southern part of Africa(Aethiopia was a generalized term for black people who dwell in Africa).
No disrespect, but the real ark of the covenant is under the Temple Mount. What was put in this building, was a copy, or replica, for the Priests who when with the Queen of Sheba; that they could use in their ritual and practice, as they taught Judaism in this place. Not even the Ten Commandments of Moses are in there. God had one place, where it was said: "is His house of worship". The whole Sheba insident, is religiously unfortunate, as for why she was made to leave. This replica was a token of the Kings love, and the Priest that were given; express the religion she gained, that changed the minds and hearts in that region.
Admire Kashiri
how do you know it is not there what proof do you have???
deedah ruhamah
What evidence do you have, can you show the world if the ark is in the temple mount. Ignorant, no one even knows where the ark is and here some one like tells us lies.
Admire Kashiri you should research about queen Saaba
welesh mahary They don’t have any proof just they just don’t want to believe The Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia. Many scientist have researched and all have come to the conclusion the Ark is in Ethiopia. THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC and Smithsonian have all did extensive research on where the Ark is and they have all concluded it is in Ethiopia.
A major point for the real ark of the covenant being in Ethiopia is the fact that the Ethiopian Jews lived in Ethiopia for centuries, separate from the rest of Hebrew society. How did they come there if they had not followed the real ark of the covenant there when Solomon gave it to his son Menelik? Doesn’t make sense, because Judaism was not a religion that sought out converts.
We never ever called ourselves Abyssinia, never. You did. Their is no historical Abyssinia.
FALSE
Also ethiopia was the first melting pot the majority of the eople didnt look like that they were dark skin line the sudanese
This is not Christianity history, but Judaism. In Ethiopia or Eritrea Christianity come when Coptic church enslaved us in 1312.
U Stupid ..The coptic church was enslaved by islam in 1312. Jewish king dhu nawas killed all the christians in yeman. But Ethiopian king caleb the christian king defeated the jewish cult leader in the 5th century and liberated the christians in yemen from the oppressive jewish cult.
Act 8 on the bible about ethiopian guy. What about the fremenantos history in 330.we didnot be enslaved.
Ethiopia is 65% muslim but the video was all about the northern part
All the time we've big problems. He is talking about orthodox Christians church not about muslims.
Ethiopian Orthodoxy (43.5%)
Islam (33.9%)
Pentay (Protestantism) (18.6%)
Traditional faiths (2.6%)
Roman Catholicism (0.7%)
Others (0.7%)
@@choldonindza6556 you have no proof just propoganda 65% muslim and 35% others.
Albert why layer?
@Begemdr youtube ?? i couldn't understand but this is fact
