No. The earliest synagogues were built in what is now Israel. Ethiopian synagogues, while old, are not as old as the first synagogues in Israel, which existed as far back as the days of the early Prophets (Talmud, Megillah 26b and Berakhot 31a).

What is a historical synagogue?

Historical synagogues are those that have a special place in history. So, the first synagogue in any particular country would be classified as historical, as would the oldest surviving synagogue in that country. Good examples would be the Touro Synagogue in Rhode Island, the Rashi Synagogue in Worms and the Old New Synagogue in Prague. Any synagogue where someone historically important would also qualify. So, for example, the Ramban Synagogue in Jerusalem, founded by the great medieval rabbi Nachmanides, would qualify. Ancient synagogues that are now merely archaeological sites are another category that would qualify.
