Tigre was once a powerful kingdom? Okay, i give credit where it's due!
''Tigre is a large and important province, of great wealth and power.
All the merchandise destined to cross the Red Sea to Arabia must pass through this province, so that the governor has the choice of all commodities wherewith to make his market.
The greatest length of Tigre is 200 miles, and the greatest breadth 120.
It lies between the territory of the Baharnagash [which reaches to the river Mareb] on the east, and the River Tacazze on the west.
Sire [Shire], once an independent province, was united to Tigre on account of the misconduct of its governor, in the reign of Yasus ''the great.''
Crossing the Tacazze, we come to the mountainous district of Samen, inhabited by the Falasha, with Gideon and Judith for their king and queen, as in early times.
South from Tigre is Begemder, including Lasta and Amhara. This district produces the best soldiers in Abyssinia, both cavalry and infantry.
It is asserted that it can raise an army of 45,000 men; but this must be an exaggeration.
Iron is abundant in the mountains, and the country possesses a fine breed of cattle.
Adjoining Amhara to the east is Angot, which, with the exception of a few villages, has been conquered by the Oromos.
Farther south are the provinces of Walaka and Shoa.
The latter is famous for the refuge it afforded to the infant prince of the house of Solomon, who was the only survivor of the massacre of the seed-royal by Judith [probably Gudit], about the year 900. For 400 years the royal family remained there, till it was restored to its ancient dignity.
Gojjam, a flat pastoral country, about 80 miles long and 40 broad, lies to the west of the last-named provinces.
It is almost encircled by the Nile. The inhabitants are good farmers [so far at least as cattle are concerned], but bad soldiers.
South from Gojjam is the small territory of Damat, which is properly a part of it, the name Gojjam being generally given to the whole peninsula inclosed by the river.
Dembea is the country surrounding the lake of that name. This is the granary of Abyssinia. The mountainous region of Kwara has a tribe of pagan Blacks, called ''Ganjar,'' the descendants of fugitive black slaves, and other vagabonds who have joined them during successive generations.
The frontier land, stretching on by Ras el Feel and Tchelga to Tcherkin, is wholly occupied by Mahometans, who form a barrier against the Arabs of Sennar. There are many other small provinces, but none of them are of such importance as to require special mention in this place.''

It's true that we were the most powerful nation in the world, and we were the first nation to establish the United Nations to bring peace on Earth.
Our Axum Hewelts inspired NASA scientists to launch rockets into space, and later to the moon and Mars, which is why today we are getting royalty fees from countries launching rockets into space.
Not only that, it was us who invented the first computer and kept it in hiding, until one day Bill Gates approached us with an offer we couldn't refuse, and the rest is history. The first drone was also built in Adwa, using smart birds tied to a long rope.
We can go on, and on, about the amazing inventions by Tegaru who once were the sole super power in the world, but we will stop here today to spare the Shabo a heart attack.

There was no kingdom called Tigray in history.
If you want to make it up, go ahead.

You are cento per cento correct. In fact, the first Weyane we sent to the moon, we had to give him an Oromo nickname, and teach him the Oromo language, just in case he encountered some Qerro hooligans up in the moon.Sadacha Macca wrote: ↑30 Dec 2019, 00:57Digital Weyane wrote: ↑29 Dec 2019, 23:36It's true that we were the most powerful nation in the world, and we were the first nation to establish the United Nations to bring peace on Earth.

I like it when my Weyane brothers and sisters make efforts to highlight the proud history of our country Tigray, even if they have to do it by changing their ethnic identity for fear of reprisals.
