Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

ግማሽ አካሉን ከምድር ውስጥ የሸሸገ አስገራሚ መስህብ ነው፡፡ ከአለት ተጠርቦ የተሰራው እና ከተፈለፈለበት አብይ አለት ጋር ሳይላቀቅ የቆመው ቅርስ ያፈዛል፡፡ ያላየው አይፈዝምና እንዴት አትበሉኝ፤ ከዐለቱ የመስቀል ቅርጽ ያለው ህንጻ ቤተ ክርስቲያን፤ ስፋቱ 16 ሜትር በ13 ሜትር ነው፡፡
የጣሪያው ቁመት ሰባት ሜትር ይደርሳል፡፡ 13 የሚሆኑት ጣሪያውን ደግፈው የቆሙት አምዶች ግዙፍና ድንቅ ናቸው፡፡ በሐረግ ሥነ-ጥበብ ያጌጠው ጣሪያ ቀና ብሎ ለሚመለከተው ሰው አድናቆትን ያጭራል፡፡
ቄሰ ገበዙ መጡ፤ ሰላምታ ተለዋወጥን፤ አማርኛ እየቸገራቸው ጉዳዬን ነገርኳቸው፡፡ ከፈቱልኝ፡፡ አብረውኝ ያሉትን ይበልጥ በማመን እንደከፈቱልኝ ገብቶኛል፡፡
ውስጡ ደግሞ ልዩ ነው፡፡ ሶስት አብያተ መቅደሶች አሉት፤ ቀኙ የቅዱስ ሚካኤል ግራው የቅዱስ ገብርኤልና መካከሉ ደግሞ የቅድስት ማርያም ታቦተ መንበሮች አሉበት፡፡ አስደናቂው ውቅር ውስጣዊ ውበቱ ከተሰራበት ዘመን ጋር ሲነጻጸር ተአምር ነው፡፡ በአንዳንድ የውጪ ጸሐፍት ዘንድ በትግራይ ካሉ አብያተ ክርስቲያናት ሁሉ የሚበልጥ እንደሆነ ተገምቷል፡፡
በውቅሩ ቤተ ክርስቲያን ውስጥ የተሳሉት መንፈሳዊ ስዕሎች በ17ኛው ክፍለ ዘመን የተሰሩ ናቸው፡፡ ከእነዚህ ጥንታዊና እና እጹብ የሥነ ሥእል ውጤቶች መካከል የአባ ሰላማ ፍሬምናጦስ ስእል ይገኝበታል፡፡ በተመሳሳይ በቅኔ ማህሌቱ የሚታዩት ስእሎችም የጻድቃን፣ የመላእክትና የሰማእታትን ገድሎች ያሳያሉ፡፡
አንዳንዶች የተሰራበት ዘመን ላይ የተለያየ አመለካከት ቢኖራቸውም፤ የደብሩ አስጎብኚ ግን በ4ኛው ክፍለ ዘመን የተሰራ እንደሆነ ከእርግጠኝነት አልፈው ነገሩኝ፡፡ የሳቸውን ማመን ይሻላል፡፡
ስላየሁት ልንገራችሁ የአባ ሰላማ መስቀል፣ ደግሞ የአብረሃ ወ አጽበሃ የወርቅ ጫማን፣ ወንበራቸውን…..እንዴት የታደለ ስፍራ ነው፡፡
Hidden Tribes of Ethiopian.
For thousands of years the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia was a crossroads for droves of people migrating to new lands. Today, it is undoubtedly one of the most unique places on earth because of the sheer diversity of tribal groups that live in this remote area of the Great Rift Valley. This is an extraordinary opportunity to immerse in the fabric of some of these societies, including the Mursi, Hamer and Karo tribes, each with their distinct culture. Expect a real adventure with conditions basic; the Omo Valley being an incredible reminder of an Africa that has not yet seen modernisation. From Addis Ababa we drive to the Omo Valley region and enjoy a boat trip on Lake Chamo to spot hippos and an array of water birds. For the next few days we move from village to village, witnessing traditional lifestyles. The Mursi traditions, whose women insert large clay plates in their lower lips, and the Hamer, who scar and paint their bodies in a mark of their culture, are incredibly fascinating. Returning to Addis Ababa at the conclusion of our trip we reflect on this memorable experience of untouched cultures, ceremonies and astounding natural.

Emperor Yohannes IV and the demise of Egyptian's dream over Nile
======================
Yohannes IV was Ethiopia’s emperor from 1872 to1889. He succeeded to the Ethiopian throne on 21 January 1872 four years after the death of Emperor Thewodros. Like his predecessor Yohannes IV was a strong, progressive ruler, but he had to spend most of his time repelling military threats from Egypt, Italy, and the Mahdists. He was confronted by Khedive Isma'il Pasha of Egypt, who sought to bring the entire Nile River basin under his rule in 1875. It was difficult time for Ethiopia as there were also internal conflicts among war lords. The Egyptians sought that as an opportunity to invade Ethiopia but they were wrong. The Egyptians marched into northern Ethiopia from their coastal possessions around the port of Massawa. Yohannes pleaded with the British to stop their Egyptian allies, and even withdrew from his own territory in order to show the Europeans that he was the wronged party and that the Khedive was the aggressor. However, Yohannes soon realized that the Europeans would not stop the Khedive of Egypt and so he gathered up his armies and marched to meet the Egyptian force. After the Egyptians had advanced into Ethiopia, Emperor Yohannes drew them into battle. The two armies met at Gundat on the morning of 16 November 1875. The Egyptians were tricked into marching into a narrow and steep valley and were wiped out by Ethiopian gunners surrounding the valley from the surrounding mountains. Virtually the entire Egyptian force, along with its many officers of European and North American background, were killed. Emperor Yohannes put the Ethiopian flag on area as a reminder of the victory for all. Young men joined his army from all parts of the country. News of this huge defeat was suppressed in Egypt for fear that it would undermine the government of the Khedive. A new Egyptian force was assembled and sent to avenge the defeat at Gundat. The Egyptians were defeated again at the Battle of Gura (March 7 – 9, 1876), where the Ethiopians were led again by the Emperor, and general Ras Alula. His victories not only ended any Egyptian desires on the territory, but also brought him much captured weaponry turning his army into the first well-equipped military force in Ethiopian history. In 1869, the Suze Canal opened in eastern Egypt and it made it easier for European ships to effortlessly reach Ethiopia. Italy - the next aggressor in 1885 - occupied the Red Sea port of Massawa and began to expand inland, only to be soundly defeated by Yohannes in 1887. Ethiopian forces, led by Emperor Yohannes, beat the Italians at the battle of Dogali in the far north of the country. In the same year, the Islamic revivalist Dervishes forces, gaining ground in the Sudan, invaded Ethiopia, devastating the old Ethiopian capital city of Gonder. Emperor Yohannes fought the Dervishes severely and at the close of another Ethiopian victory, he was killed at the Battle of Metema in March 1889.
