Eritrea is one of the most ancient civilizations in the world!
Eritrea is one of the most ancient civilizations in the world, a place where traditional culture, firmly fixed in the past, continues to be challenged by the customs of modernity. One of the remarkable treasures of this country is the rich manuscript culture, inseparably tied to the monastic institutions. Many monasteries in Eritrea store parchment manuscripts ( brana in the Tigrigna vernacular) which contain ancient and sometimes unknown religious texts.
