I have been looking for a long while now for a brain, a real brain, to answer one crucial question about the history of ancient Ethiopia.
I recently came across the following video. I wish that you listen to the speech and get an answer for your own self in order to seek the truth.
Even though I tried to understand spirituality at a young age and started to ask crucial questions about it before I graduated from college in Ethiopia, perhaps the most critical of them became evident to me in the middle of reading the late Professor Donald N, Levine’s book about Ethiopia’s history.
I did not think it would become very self evident as explained in this video.
The crucial question is whether the debate or discussion between Atse Ezana and Fermencious was balanced. The issue is less about the conversation and more about the preaching of brothers as blessed and cursed by “the will of God,” which led to a protracted identity struggle since then.
This is something you need to have the capacity to travel back in time to that period and make your own conclusion in retrospect. Fair?
If I am not mistaken, the name ገብረ ክርስቶስ was introduced in northern Ethiopia as part of the outcome of that debate. The Ethiopians who live in Borana are not party to the outcome of that debate.
Harvard University is not an uninformed institution. If I remember correctly, Professor Asmerom Legesse was introduced to some perfunctory writing about the Ethiopians who live in Borana by a staff of Harvard University.
I am not sure about the origin of the pejorative word G@la. However, I have read that it became widely publicized through the book of Abba Bahrey.
It appears to me that the Eritreans on this forum have more propensity to use the pejorative term probably based on their reading of Abba Bahrey’s book at Addis Ababa University more than the perfunctory writing kept by Harvard University or Professor Asmerom Legesse’s book about the Ethiopians who live in Borana.
Now that the narrative in this video suggests that we revisit that debate between Atse Ezana and Fermencious, the Borana may have the last laugh about it.
It has been said: በከ እት ኩፍቴ ምት፣ በከ እት ሙጩጫቴ
እላል። It roughly means look not where you fell but where you slipped.
I hope these words of wisdom point to at least one of the reasons why Axum’s monuments stopped to rise after Atse Ezana was influenced by Fermencious.
We can’t attribute the outcome of that debate to anybody else in the world except those who were involved in that debate.
I also hope you could debate this matter with the caliber of hmantes. He is one of the participants on this forum who was willing to spend his time to debate me and made me think of him at a moment’s notice as a learned man.
