  • In this episode Zeinab Badawi focuses on the fall of the kingdom of Aksum and how the Christian kings who followed in the wake of its demise left powerful legacies especially that of King Lalibela who ruled in the 12/13th century. He is credited with building a complex of rock hewn churches which represent amazing feats of engineering at that time.
    Zeinab also charts the arrival of Islam in this part of Africa and how the Christian kings and Muslim emirs co-existed. And she visits Harar, the most holy of Ethiopia’s cities for Muslims, where she observes the bizarre long-standing tradition of the ‘hyena men’ of Harar who feed these wild animals by hand.

      The bible is a history book about Africa which was known as Ethiopia at the time with many lands named such as cush, etc...The Romans/Greeks whitewashed it and added the new testament which was their twist to the stories they stole form the ancient Ethiopians.

    Dear Zeinab as a proud Ethiopian with our culture and history, I would like to thank you very much for considering Ethiopia and Eretria in this edition. I believe through this series Africans shall develop a sense of respect and integrity for ourselves. This will create a strong public to public ties through understanding our shared history and tradition. In this series, you had tried to tell us a little about the Abyssinian middle ages. I believe your memories from the tour across Ethiopia and Eretria will be long-lasting. I had started subscribing to this channel and looking forward to seeing from all around Africa. Magnificent work!

      I absolutely agree with your statement. It is through knowing our history AND passing that knowledge onto our children that we will develop self-love, self-esteem, self-respect, and commend respect from others. It is in that mindset that I started my TH-cam channel narrating stories to people of all ages. Some of my stories are fiction and others are based on real facts, but they have the common goal of teaching a few things about Africa and its beauty and diversity. Please check it out when you get a chance. Thanks 🙏🏾
      P.S: I briefly and accidentally visited Ethiopia last year and LOVED IT! The richness of its history is mind blowing.

    Brilliant. No sensationalization of events to match with the usual narrative as we often see. In Ethiopia and in Eritrea different religion followers live side by side and there are intermarriages between them. The current Prime Minister of Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed Ali was born to a Muslim father and to a Christian mother. He followed the religion of his mother. Ethiopia and Eritrea set an example to the rest of the world.

      yes thats abiys story. but this is not how islam works. in islamic theology it is rule to take the religion of the father and if the man marries a woman she must become muslim. the only reason why you have these anomalies throughtout africa with mixed religion families is because islam came to them differently from the rest of where it dominated. islams history was mostly conquest in the areas that are predominantly islamic today. in the case of ethiopia it was mostly through trade. the same for places like senegal, gambia, nigeria and mali for example. you will find mixed religion families. but mostly the man is the muslim and the woman is a christian. a muslim woman would never marry a christian man. whether they follow the précepts and theology of these religions is another story. usually they dont. and many dont even understnd the theology. for them its just religion. cause if they did they usually would not get along. and i have seen this happen

You have done a nobel documentary that doesn't only offer a contribution to the evolution of humanity, but furthermore, offers a critical evidence that many generations have vanished due to greed for money that escalated to wars and extinction in many forms. This is a starting point to alarm the current generation about the future of humanity. When does that day come when educational institutions, and the world media show the benefits of peaceful coexistence. The humanity is quite thankful to you Mrs.Zeinab..

      Listen to me, we are now living in year 2020 and not between 1960 to 1991. Zeila town is located in Somaliland and is not controlled by government in Mogadiscio. Somaliland is an independent country and is no longer together with Somalia. Every country has its own history and territory. Greater Somalia has fallen and remains a dream and curse forever. Move on and don't hang in the past.

I thought it was a demotion when they put you here but it looks perfect combination for you. your voice is a flavor and your knowledge of subject matter is a beauty of your film. I belief producing historical documentary film without computer graphics is half empty because it doesn't show full picture of the subject matter but not on your production. It is magnificent! You are amazing and a pride of African people even though you are British woman.

Most of these West African empires turned Muslim because after the blacks lost Egypt and North Africa, muslim Arabs took control of the northern coast and hence the trade exit routes of the Mediterranean. The Arabs would trade fairly and ease tariffs only if they dealt with fellow muslims, hence the 'conversion' of many North West African monarchies to Islam. It was purely economic.
