- In Ethiopia, Afua Hirsch traces a proud 3,000-year history as significant as any civilisation in the west. A beacon for the black diaspora, Ethiopia's story is one of defiant independence, of kings and communists.

From Haiti, God blessed all the countries in our motherland.
Im guessing you're from au Cap Haitien
From Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪 with love to our lovely Ethiopian neighbours. I've learnt so much about your history I never knew. Esp the Aksumite civilisation
I'm glad you did! Thank you for your kind words. Nothing but love to Kenya and Kenyans :)

I am from Ethiopia but I believe more abysinyaan than axsumite

White boy from the USA. Ethiopia is a truly beautiful looking place, with great music and art, have yet to try the food, but I think my city has a place now that my curiosity is piqued. I wish you all the best!
White myself, the food is greate also
Ethiopia is a gem. Even on those rare occasions when it gets media attention in the west, we only see images of modern Addis Abba or hear about war. Rarely, do we see Ethiopia’s incredible mountains, forest, ancient architecture or diverse population.
It is mysterious it has a lot in common with Orthodox Christian Europe and Islam. The Ottoman empire extended over part of it. Their history is distinct.
Its because europeans are mad because we defeated them
Well, that says more about your culture than anything. But even now that the Eritrean military is jointly committing mass atrocities unseen since Rwanda, there is very little media attention. Apparently, our culture is more important than our survival.
@@thecrown1463 in my experience, most europeans don't know that
How do you think they will make money if they show the historical facts.
Central, East, West and South, of Africa, there is a little Ethiopian in it, I think almost every African country has one or more tribes that can trace their origin from Ethiopia. Ethiopia is indeed a motherland of Africa!
Hmm I don’t think so.
her name was Aethiopia not Africa
Not entirely true.
100 percent entirely true.
PROUD ETHIOPIAN😍. currently Ethiopia is sick but documentaries like this will give us hope and pride, hope you do more there's a lot about Ethiopia thank you so much keep up the good work

Ethiopia what a beautiful country and people. Even, I have never been there yet, I am in love with this country and people. Actually, the fulani people in West Africa (Sénégal, Mali, Guinée...) are originated from kush-kemets empire according to Cheikh Anta Diop. The music played by the Guez singers are pretty the same as my fulani music called "Fantang" and "ndiarou", which connect us through our commun ancesters...We are connected 🇸🇳🇪🇹🥰❤️🖤💚
Some fulani herds people in Nigeria seem to want all the land and forests, be it in the east or south, for their cattle. They used to respect farm land and people respected them back, live and let live. Now they go as far as demanding what they want from the tip of a rifle. And have proved over and over to be deadly for farmers. Because the fulani have ethnic links to the nigerian leaders favoured by britain, the farmers cannot take up arms against them for fear of being imprisoned. Meanwhile nothing happens to the fulani herds people. And this is just one of nigeria's many issues.
Fulani people do NOT originate from “ Kemet-Kush “ nonsense. Ancient Egypt ( Kemet) was NOT a black civilization. Nubians were dark skin people. Ancient Egypt and Nubia were connected with each other and they were more integrated with other civilizations in Fertile Crescent . Ancient Egyptians and Nubians were using chariots and wheels since thousands of years before BC . In other parts of Africa the wheel was introduced by European colonialism in 19th century. That shows there was absolutely NO connection between those two parts of the continent.
You have to do more research!
@st3019
Ancient Egypts pre dynastic civilization was Nilo Saharan, aboriginal Africans.
The wheel or lack thereof doesn't change that.
By that logic, Japan had no wheel so it has no connection to China or Korea for the same reason.
YOU need to more research instead of scoffing.
Beautiful doc. Beautiful country and beautiful people. Much respect from USA
God bless Ethiopia and Africa! 🙏🏻
I so wanna go to Ethiopia. The land of the wonderful Mulatu Astatke!
my friends little girl is a doctor and has just finished a run with the red cross in Ethiopia. from what she has said if you do go stay in the big urban locations. the country side is very unpredictable. you can be a safe as you would be in any other bit of the civilized world. but go ten miles down the road and be in bandit country. so if your going to go wondering get a guide.
also be very carful of the water she treated two of her team for worms and worm infestation seems to be endemic in some parts of the country. most water is infested with parasites and is a bit toxic. never have ice in a drink even in a top class hotel as the ice will be made from well water and not boiled first. you will also find the drugs use is extremely common and night life even in big towns is very dangerous.
there is still a lot of fighting going on in parts of the country so i would say about half the country is anything from a bit suspect to you are going to die if you go there. its a same the view you get in the film is very limited and extremely selective. if you are going to present a country you should do it warts and all or its just a parody. but i can see why the presenter is doing it. all we get to hear about Ethiopia now a days is war, starvation and the way women are abused and miss used.
Ethiopians are exceptional beatiful people, I can't imagine rulers of Egypt if they have no ethiopian faces, such precious people, greetings from Ortodox Europe

Need to visit Ethiopia one day.
Namaste from Pune India.
Ethiopia reminds me from my country. I'm African but my country is a island formed with ten little ones; mine is named fogo (mean fire) with a lot mountain and an active volcano 🌋 Cape Verd Island.❤️.
Hello "Fogo". I am from Moçambique and have been in C.Verde for 20 days coming from Swissland on hollidays.
It was a experience never forgoten.
Loved how people took gd care of me by showing me delicious food, the rounds about and the Hot Hot waters in the beach, where i connected with local fisher people...OMG love Cabo Verde and your people maked very enjoyable staying for me. XXx
Beautiful place, would love to visit the islands.
Wish one day to visit motherland im here in America 🇺🇸 proud Black man respect 🤝✊🏽 Mother Africa 🌍 👏
This should be required viewing for every high school student. Beautifully presented. Thank you!
As a cultural study that would be cool. Don't put much stock in much of the claims as truth though.
@@karlshaner2453 Are you a scholar of ancient and modern day Ethiopian ( Abbysinian ) history ? What claims in this documentary are not true ? Please identify these " untrue " claims with verifiable documented facts. Thank you
@@aaronhill212 You first...Show verifiable documentation that Sheba married Solomon and had his son. Show any proof that the Ark of the Covenant went to Ethiopia. I may not be an expert on Ethiopia, but when they pretend things that involve Israel, in that realm I am aware of truth more than most. Their claims to having the Ark are pure fiction. If one takes a close look at the history of the region, it isn't hard to see a corruption of multiple faiths all thrown together.
If you have a particular subject you wish to talk about please let me know.
@@aaronhill212 Since you have not responded. Let us look at the facts according to the bible..."Sheba was a queen of her own country"...She traveled on what one would call a state visit. "Solomon treated her as a King would treat a foreign leader". "She gave him gifts from her country"..."He gave her gifts from his"..." She returns home"...All this happens in the space of one chapter, in the bible. It doesn't take a genius to see the truth of it. No child, no marriage, no stealing away the Ark(that remained in Jerusalem well after his death).
Many things that have happened in history have been corrupted into false myths. Sadly a whole nation has fallen for a myth.
@@karlshaner2453 Where is your proof that it’s in Jerusalem? 😂😂 There is no way to know brother, you yourself are confused. Very confused…
Deepest respects. Ethiopia 🇪🇹💜👏👑
Good video!! God Bless Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Bro you should read Zephaniah 2 v 12. There is going to be a arsh judgement to the seed of ham and canaanites
This is a fresh look at Ethiopia through Habesha eyes. I love this project it is very well done. The segment covering the music in the orthodox church is something I had not seen before. Thank you. Again it is very well done. 👏 👏 👏
I'm so pleased you have brought this to light! As a bit of a historian myself it's excellent to see the histories truthfully told and following your personal journey is a beautiful journey :)
i am Eritrean. I am a son of a aksumite empire. Everytime when i pray, everytime when i read. This is all because of our ancient forefathers
you are agame, don't ly.

Italian Baria, you people are not Axumites. Keep dreaming. Agame is proud of its Axumite history, unlike you Barias

I'm even embarrassed that we speak the same language as you Italian Barias.

These are the real ancient people! Praise the Almighty! true history
Praise the Almighty we are one blood and one race. If we are to believe what the Word of God says it can not be denied.
Yeeeees 👑❤🙏
Biblical history came from Africa.
@@rachbradley636 part of it anyways. But is that the real focus or message Christ was spreading ? We are getting caught up in race and geography instead of the message. This has been trending over the last few years and just a other divide in the body of Christ.
@@mtr65 I know. We all are one race. I was just saying that a lot of the history did come from Africa but also other things did happen and come from other countries. I am not trying to divide anything or anyone, I was just pointing that out. God bless
There is a picture of Mrs. Aida Muluneh. A woman I admire as a person and an artist. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent documentary. I've seen other documentaries on Ethiopia, but none were as comprehensive as this one; makes me want to visit the country.
I find the Ethiopians beautiful ,thanks for sharing this rich culture with us all💫🙏🏻
"All African's are different, so unique have all types of looks, cultures ect...
@@desireawinton9745

axumits only live in eritrea and tigray never in ethiopia
Absolutely Fantastc. I want more. Thats the kind of documentary of Africa I want to see!
Ethiopia is great 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
What a refreshing take we are more than our famine era,as much it breaks my heart to see Tigrayns suffer but we should not forget the St Yared the Axumite composer of our church hymns, if you love our arts I recommend you read Elizabeth W. Giorgis

My Ethiopia! Oh my lovely Ethiopia!!
WE THANK YOU...Your video is amazingly put together I watched it through the end with out blinking, that how interested I was watching your video!!😘💚💛❤🙏
30:00 This music is so familiar. If I wasn’t watching the video, I’d say that it is from west Africa (Mauritania, Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Senegal, Mali,...) so similarity of people and culture from west to east Africa... Thank you for very informative reportage 👍🏽

Thank you my dear sister for shining the light of Ethiopia - Africa in the world. You bring wonderful documentary that shows how the history of Ethiopians and how we contribute for black peoples liberation from western. Your documentary also helped me to know my country more, it helps to stand together as African brothers and sisters - strengthen Pan Africanism. This spirit should helps keep forward to overcome the modern colonization attempt what the western are bring to colonize Ethiopia and Africa. We Ethiopians are fighting with the westerns currently to overcome their influence and modern colonization and we call African families to unit and overcome together, be with the side of Ethiopians to the fight the colonial fighting what they are indirectly dismantling Ethiopia through the rebel- TPLF. Let us support our PM- Abiy Ahemed and Ethiopia people from the current situation to solve ourselves by own own experience, strengthen and wisdom.
*Thanks for covering this!*
The diligence of this presenter to uncover this information and present it with skill is a rare ability and quality. Surprised how well you got to know the country and history without being native born.
This was a beautiful experience. Thank you

I love this, its totally awesome!
Thank you for sharing your presentation and knowledge about our country is incredible
Very beautiful documentary.
Two things that are incorrect that I think are worth noting is
1. At 30:00, the Azmaris are not singing in Ge'ez, they are singing in Amharic. (A language that derives from the ancient Ge'ez.)
2. Christianity in Ethiopia is not specific to the Axum region, and was practiced before the 4th century. It was handed directly by the Disciple Philip in the 1st century AD. (Acts 8:26-40)
Thanks for the input . I am a Muslims but what you have stated is what I gathered from research.

Ethiopia is certainly on my bucket list. I know I would enjoy a visit there.
Appreciated this insightful video inside a rich and living culture
Thank you so much
Your deep beauty and power is boldly feasible from your face and the way you talk and walk. Your full admiration for the ancient Ethiopian civilization, culture and history, could not hide the sadness from your face which is caused by the current standard of living of the Ethiopians. I finished watching this documentary struggling to control my tears. You are an absolutely beautiful and natural woman! May God bless you abundantly!
Beautiful documentary different from what we see of Ethiopia is a real eye opened,thanks for the journey n enlightment,from a land v far away ,a cradle of ancient civilisation India
Great documentary. Beautiful land.
There is small Museum behind the Mariam Zion Church in Axum. The Chief of the Museum told me this: The Ethiopian Kings prayed before the Ark of the Covenant, and then cut some Royal hair off, and left it beside the Ark before they rode out to Battle. I call this TRUE FAITH in the CREATOR! Much thanks from Holland! The CREATOR bless you ALL!
axum is only tigray and eritrea
This is indeed a beautifully presented and historically rich video! I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciate the knowledge you shared! Thanks!!!💯
Rhys Howells was the founder of 'The Bible College of Wales'. Throughout the war with Italy, all the students of the college prayed for Ethiopia and their Emperor each morning and his son attended the college. In the book Rhys Howells Intercessor there are two letters of thanks and gratitude to him and the students from the Emporer.
Addis Ababa isn't only the capital of Ethiopia, but it's the capital of Africa due to its being home of the Africa Hall. No point about coffee.
I feel like the real capital is Johannesburg, Lagos, or Tunis.
@@thirstiestvillager9233 My mom was born in Lagos, the biggest city in Nigeria and as well the continent! 'Tis an island. Addis Ababa shall be the REAL capital of Africa.
Awesome thanks so much for providing this documentary. I'm intrigued about how they use the ancient biblical calendar system, if needed along side the Gregorian.
I can't find much information about it at all.
