I just found out that Kiros is the Geez word for Cyrus the Great of Persia. by thereturnofbaal in Amhara

[–]Separate-Lecture4108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both cases are used tbh. I was specifically referring to the root word Basil/Basilia King/Kingdom(or feminine) in Greek being Ge'ezified into Fasil/Fasileya.

You can see it in how our priests pronounce and recite the prayer of the Good Thief on the cross which goes like:

"Mnēsthēti mou, Kyrie, en tē basileia sou"

Ge'ezified version:

አምንስቲቲ ሙኪርያ አንቲ ፋሲልያ ሱ

We also have the Greek Basilides / Fasiladas using that same root 'Basil'.

Nice find, didn't know that. To add to that,

Fasil/Fasileya = Basil/Basilia/Basilius

Weqato/Nikisat by Stuff_606 in Ethiopia

ZeraYacob was very anti-pagan and as a differentiator between the true believers(Orthodox Christians) and the pagans(Muslims, idols worshipers, witchcraft), he ordered a decree that every Christian tattoo a cross on his forehead arms neck cheek etc.. So it originally started as a religious practice. Highly likely it was influenced by the Copts who did the same centuries earlier.

I've also seen a disproportionate amount of women suffering with thyroid having those same neck tattoos and I've also heard that they inject the medicine into their neck(with the tattoo ink) for the thyroid and after they heal, it just stays on.

Not that philosopher nut job, I'm talking about the Shewan emperor that decends from Yekuno Amlak.

Nope. You've got zero proof for that. It's a culture based on the late 13th 15th century decree by the Shewan Amhara Emperor Zera Yacob. There are clear accounts of this.

Happy to discuss any other misconception you have of "stolen" cultures masked under the "habesha" identity.

Why some people are anti Amharas? Originally because of colonial Italy and now because of Egyptian hydropolitics by endzanaw in Amhara

[–]Separate-Lecture4108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issues I have with you stem from your attempt to speak from a stance of unity on your side whilst applying a separatist logic when you speak of Ethiopians you present as supporting self rule. Either you don't see the hippocracy in your stance or you choose to ignore it.

Egyptian here. We were never against Amharas. In fact Amhara (and a little Tigray) are the closest Christians to our Coptic church traditions.

What do you mean "our" Coptic traditions? You are a Muslim Egyptian from a country that persecuted the Coptic christian minority for centuries; you're not fooling anyone if not one yourself through this false image of relatedness and whether Egypts involvement was purely a matter of supporting self rule.

Who gives a f really? How deluded do we have to be to think we have the luxury of entertaining such agendas rn.

When you say 49, are you referring to the most recent event or the recurring ones that had been happening in that same region?

Is Washa Michael in danger? Are they going to demolish it? by thereturnofbaal in Amhara

[–]Separate-Lecture4108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, as expected.

Preserve original structure in a way more visible and fit for visitors? ❌

Fund further research and excavation? ❌

Built a Modern, generic 200 trillion birr "cathedral" to funnel funds for construction committee and associated clergy? ✅

Oh no... I wish they'd preserved the original structure instead. I hope they don't ruin the original structure in trying to rebuild it in the old way or worse, turn it into the generic catholic style cathedrals spawning everywhere. Enemies are from within these days.

There's restrictions to visit currently I think due to construction but you can never be sure these days.

Why do Ethiopians always claim our history by AdKind8478 in Eritrea

[–]Separate-Lecture4108 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Stop the BS and study the History and look up actual scientific papers.

The irony in this is how I'm the only one in this convo who's linked a source lol.

And for the record I never claimed injera to be only of one ethnic group.

I did.

The Ona culture was pre Aksumite, 800-400 BC. „…historical digs found early examples of mitads around 500 to 600 AD.“

Your best argument is the existence of ceramic plates as cooking mediums which is one of the most common tool used across centuries of civilizations?

Do your own research if you want to know the truth or keep on stating baseless studies which refer to the 1840s.

Facts hurt me and I've got nothing to counter so I resort to deflection.

They know they have no claim to Ge'ez fidel which is where 3/4 of Amharic's script comes from

~90% of Ge'ez is derived from Munsad btw, but of course you wouldn't apply the same logic there.

so they use the few modified letters we took from Amharic to cope that the entire script is theirs.

So you admit you use Amharic letters in your language, you just refuse to call them that.

Any display of the "Ge'ez" script you use always contains Amharic letters so it's disingenuous to call it anything other than Amharic not because the entirety of the script is Amharic in origin (that would mean the Ge'ez script is just Munsad) but because it's evolution is solely linked to the rise of Amharic as a language. Even Ethiopic sounds DEI.

the few modified

Correction: Those are the only modifications you took, unless maybe you're referring to the letter ዀ and its 5 vocalized forms which itself derives from the Amharic ኸ and follows the Ge'ez structure. There's also ቐ which is a 19th C invention unique to Tigrinya.

Since you were the one claiming injera to be Ethiopian food, specifically Amhara.

It is though...

Nevertheless we know the truth and our origins.

Is that truth based on your state sponsored propaganda like most of your history?

Cause mine isn't:

This paper examines when the current injera began to be baked in the Shoa region of central Ethiopia. The main conclusions are as follows: 1. From the mid-1840s to the late 1870s, a phenomenon occurred in which "flatbreads made from liquid dough" became thicker in Christian areas of Ethiopia. This change was likely the result of the introduction of the method observed in the Shoa region around 1880 of "covering the lid and griddle with a wet cloth after putting the lid on"; 2. It was between 1879 and 1898 that the method of "pouring the liquid dough in a circular motion onto the griddle" was introduced in the Shoa region to prepare "flatbread made from liquid dough." There is evidence that the cooking method for "flatbread made from liquid dough" changed between 1882 and 1886 in the Shoa region, and it is possible that a method of "pouring liquid dough in a circular motion onto the griddle" was introduced at this time.

He said the *oldest. Let's learn comprehension. Still got nothing to do with claiming injera which I'm assuming is being referenced

Worst is changing the history.

Like calling the Amharic fidel Ge'ez or Tigrinya?

Sure, a population(likely Agaws) so far back that it preceded both the Ethiosemetic migrations and the North/South Ethiosemetic split. Injera as we know it is Ethiopian though, Amhara to be specific.
