Ethiopia

Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire was created in 1926.

Sierra Leone, which neighbors Liberia in southern West Africa (the southwestern corner of northern Africa). Only Sao Tome and Principe, a small island country south of Nigeria, gets higher annual rainfall than Sierra Leone.

Emperor Menelik II

In the first century AD Eritrea and much of Ethiopia were the kingdom of Axum. Christianity was introduced by Saint Frumentius, a Syro-Phoenician Greek from

Tyre. He was asked by kingOusanas

to educate his son Ezana. Ezana converted to Christianity. Another Axumite king, Kaleb, was asked by the Roman Emperor Justin I to intervene in Yemen, where a Jewish king, Dhu Nuwas, was slaughtering Christians there. Kaleb invaded Yemen, which came under the Axumite kingdom.

No, but tensions between the two are still high

Ethiopia is in the tropics, roughly 5° to 15° north latitude. So it does not experience the same seasons that temperate areas do. However, the coolest months of the year, especially in the highlands, are December, January, and February, with frost at higher elevations.

Diverse rainfall and temperature patterns are largely the result of Ethiopia's location in Africa's tropical zone and the country's varied topography. Altitude-induced climatic conditions form the basis for three environmental zones-- cool, temperate, and hot--which have been known to Ethiopians since antiquity as the dega, the weina dega, and the kolla, respectively. The cool zone consists of the central parts of the western and eastern sections of the northwestern plateau and a small area around Harer. The terrain in these areas is generally above 2,400 meters in elevation; average daily highs range from near freezing to 16°C, with March, April, and May the warmest months. Throughout the year, the midday warmth diminishes quickly by afternoon, and nights are usually cold. During most months, light frost often forms at night and snow occurs at the highest elevations. Lower areas of the plateau, between 1,500 and 2,400 meters in elevation, constitute the temperate zone. Daily highs there range from 16°C to 30°C. The hot zone consists of areas where the elevation is lower than 1,500 meters. This area encompasses the Denakil Depression, the Eritrean lowlands, the eastern Ogaden, the deep tropical valleys of the Blue Nile and Tekezé rivers, and the peripheral areas along the Sudanese and Kenyan borders. Daytime conditions are torrid, and daily temperatures vary more widely here than in the other two regions. Although the hot zone's average annual daytime temperature is about 27°C, midyear readings in the arid and semiarid areas along the Red Sea coast often soar to 50°C and to more than 40°C in the arid Ogaden. Humidity is usually high in the tropical valleys and along the seacoast. Variations in precipitation throughout the country are the result of differences in elevation and seasonal changes in the atmospheric pressure systems that control the prevailing winds. Because of these factors, several regions receive rainfall throughout most of the year, but in other areas precipitation is seasonal. In the more arid lowlands, rainfall is always meager. In January the high pressure system that produces monsoons in Asia crosses the Red Sea. Although these northeast trade winds bring rain to the coastal plains and the eastern escarpment in Eritrea, they are essentially cool and dry and provide little moisture to the country's interior. Their effect on the coastal region, however, is to create a Mediterranean-like climate. Winds that originate over the Atlantic Ocean and blow across Equatorial Africa have a marked seasonal effect on much of Ethiopia. The resulting weather pattern provides the highlands with most of its rainfall during a period that generally lasts from mid-June to mid-September. The main rainy season is usually preceded in April and May by converging northeast and southeast winds that produce a brief period of light rains, known as balg. These rains are followed by a short period of hot dry weather, and toward the middle of June violent thunderstorms occur almost daily. In the southwest, precipitation is more evenly distributed and also more abundant. The relative humidity and rainfall decrease generally from south to north and also in the eastern lowlands. Annual precipitation is heaviest in the southwest, scant in the Great Rift Valley and the Ogaden, and negligible in the Denakil Depression.

Mussolini invaded Ethiopia in 1935.

Depending on the type of Ethiopia it could be;

that there is no music

it's a certain type of music

there may be no words in the music (ex. classical)

or others

it really depends on the person(s) that "created" the Ethiopia

The Ethiopians surprised the Italians during their campaign in Ethiopia. By the time the Italians regrouped the battle was over.

well according to my text book the where defeated by Ethiopia and they where the only country at the time to be defeated by a African country. after they took the great defeat they invaded Turkish lands.

The conversion ritual required of Ethiopians relates to doubts about their identity.

The "Jewishness" of the Ethiopian Jews has been called into question, although to talk about this today in Israel would be considered very politically incorrect, since Ethiopian Jews have been accepted and integrated into Israeli society. Ultimately, the rabbis decided that they were "real" Jews, but not without controversy. For one, many if not most of the Ethiopian Jews had converted (or perhaps been forced to convert) to Christianity. Power in Ethiopia has been split between Christians and Muslims over much of the last 500 years, and many Jews had to choose sides, while retaining what are often described as "primitive" Jewish traditions. So what remains of the ritual is there ostensibly to cleanse the taint of other religions.

But really, the ritual can most accurately be described as a compromise between a minority of rabbis who don't believe that Ethiopians are "real" Jews, and a majority that has accepted them. The minority - which again is espousing a sort of right-wing view, with the usual issues (and keeping in mind the issue of race, always in the background) - cites modern DNA evidence that conclusively proves that Ethiopian Jews are genetically related to Ethiopians, not Jews, and thus the unlikelihood of the traditional history that identifies Ethiopian Jews as the descendants of the lost tribe of Dan (or alternatively, the offspring of a mating between King Soloman and Queen Sheeba, undocumented in the Bible but an oft-repeated legend in the Ethiopian historical canon).

Despite this controversy, the Ethiopians have status as Jews since 1973 in Israel and almost all 120,000 of them now live there, where they are well-integrated. The ceremony is a last vestige of more draconian requirements from the past (involving ritual circumcisions), and will likely fade into history as about a third of Ethiopian Jews alive today were born in Israel.

Eritrea declared its independence from Ethiopia in 1993.

Hannibal came from Carthaginian stock, who were Phoenician. Today's word Tunisians is a later invention from the French name Tunisie when they colonised it.
