The author of the text, the monk Abba Bahriy, was an eyewitness to this migration and himself fled his homeland of Gamo when the Galla/Oromo overran and destroyed it. As such, Abba Bahriy’s text is an important firsthand account of the social structure of the pastoralist Oromo and the impact of their migration on the existing agrarian communities of central Ethiopia. To help clarify the original text, the book contains a chapter of selected quotations culled from primary Ge`ez historical sources that expound upon or are otherwise relevant to the sixteenth century migration. Each quotation is accompanied by its Amharic translation. The book also contains a chapter about the author and his other works. Yeabba Bahriy Dirsetoch ... concludes with a bibliography and an index. !" page001-012 Friday, January 23, 2004 13:35 page 4 " R´fi m√Q nJ (û˘aÙc` {¿c {T^|) . 7. Oo≈T . 9 O”v&º . 13.

Anabe (Zigba forest in southern Wello) ../.. [20] "In southern Wello, there are still a few areas where indigenous trees survive in pockets of remaining forests. -- A highlight of our trip was a visit to Anabe, one of the few forests of Podocarpus, locally known as Zegba, remaining in southern Wello. -- Professor Bahru notes that Anabe was 'discovered' relatively recently, in 1978, when a forester was looking for a nursery site. In imperial days the area fell under the category of balabbat land before it was converted into a madbet of the Crown Prince. After its 'discovery' it was declared a protected forest. Anabe is some 30 kms to the west of the town of Gerba, which is on the Kombolcha-Bati road. Until recently the rough road from Gerba was completed only up to the market town of Adame, from which it took three hours' walk to the forest. A road built by local people -- with European Union funding now makes the forest accessible in a four-wheel drive vehicle.

Throne names and horse names were used solely by the emperors and the ruling class. Those name changes exalted the bearer by either stating his authority or connecting him to divine power. Pen names and field names were used by people not in power to hide their identity from people with the power to harm them. Although the purpose of those name changes was to disguise, the names that

  • Nubia Y Etiopía
    EDAD OSCURA: NUBIA Y ETIOPÍA Por Magus Históricamente existe gran confusión sobre el uso de los términos de Nubia y Etiopía. Hay quien dice que Nubia procede del egipcio “Nub,” quizás relativo a la riqueza de oro del territorio. Otros historiadores creen que deriva del pueblo de los Nobates, que se asentó en la zona en el siglo IV y se extendió con el colapso del reino de Meroë. Los antiguos griegos, como Herodoto y Diodoro Sículo utilizaban la palabra “Aethiopia” (“tierra de los rostros quemados”) para referirse a los territorios al sur del Antiguo Egipto, especialmente al reino de Kush, pero también al África subsahariana en general. En algunos mapas medievales el término “Etiopía” se utilizaba para todo el continente africano y el Océano Atlántico también era conocido como Océano Etíope. El reino de Axum comenzó a utilizar el nombre de Etiopía desde el siglo IV. En el presente artículo se utiliza para la zona controlada por los reinos medievales de Nobatia, Makuria, Alodia y el reino de Etiopía, situados a lo largo del río Nilo y el cuerno de África. En cualquier caso, no se trata de un ensayo fielmente histórico, sino de un suplemento y ayuda para un juego de rol, con lo cual me he tomado algunas libertades. En cualquier caso, que disfrutéis con la lectura. NUBIA Los sucesivos pueblos que han habitado más allá de la primera catarata del Nilo han tenido como vecinos al reino de Egipto e inevitablemente fueron influenciados por su cultura y afectados por periódicas invasiones y guerras. De la misma forma, los nubios también han invadido Egipto en varias ocasiones y llegaron a crear una dinastía faraónica durante el siglo VIII a.C.
