TesfaNews - I Have A Question?

Post by Horus » 21 Feb 2024, 04:10

The famous historian of ancient Ethiopia, Jean Doresse said this....

"And then my second paper was on Hawlti Melazo of Achibidera [now in Eritrea]. We found at Achibiera a statue in bones, and objects of a king called Gedera and Egyptians bones and vessels which were brought certainly from Egypt."

Where is Achibidera or Achibiera in present day southern Eritrea? Does this place still maintain this name? Thanks

Thanks.

So what is the larger region of Melazo these days? Also, how close is Melzo to the historical seat of king Ezana? because I know Negasi Geder was related to Ezana.

Qohaito and Metera are located in Akele Guzay.

Adulis is located north of Akele Guzai.

Adulis to Axum is full of ancient history
