Ethiopia: Ancient Glory, Awaiting Recovery
2025
Overview
In Abyssinia, the Mosaic law, the feudal system, and the most modern ideas jostle each other throughout, and the introduction of the new does not appear to displace, but to exist side by side with the old in the life of the nation, which, to quote a recent writer is 'young today, though it was powerful when the Book of Genesis was written, and we Christians when our own ancestors still worshiped Thor and Odin\"! G. W. Bowersock, extrapolating from a set of inscriptions which he describes as an \"extraordinary document\" found on the Adulis Throne, specifically emphasizes that one king's seat of power was in the \"Eritrean plain\" from where \"the king appears to have extended his belligerent activities to the south into Tigray, and the site of Aua, (which) may indicate the modern capital of the region, Adwa\" (Bowersock, G. W. 2013: 49). The unnamed king's central trading market was Aksum. Nonetheless, in his general analysis, Breasted acknowledges Ethiopian pharaohs as securing and defending Egypt from external adversaries and enriching its architectural and building projects during the centuries when Ethiopian pharaohs ruled.
