3.0 out of 5 stars Good General Historical Info. for Rastafari Movement, June 15, 2005

By	TREE-NATTY "HRU CHA" (NEWARK, NJ) - See all my reviews

This is a great reference book detailing the kingship of Ethiopia as a national state. Jahson does a great job entailing the story and works of some past Emperors of Ethiopia. The reason why I gave this book only 3 stars is because of the missing historical facts that the authors leaves out, and some that are just not true. Such as, the authors writes that the Aksumite people were merged with immigrants that were semetic. This is not true! There are no semetics in ET. This author is refering to the India tribes that were apart of the Aksumite people. Which are many many different tribes. Also the language of GE'EZ is nothing but a cursive writing of MTU NTR (Egyptian writing). And the Ethiopians zenith was way before the 4th AD?? The 18th to 25th dynasties of anicent egypt were ruled by Aksumite rulers. Where is that history? Bob Marley said it the best "half the story has never been told". But this is a good reference book of the history of Ethiopia as a Christian state, and the emergence of Ethiopian from it's pre-Christianity history.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is not an Ible, December 3, 2008

I thought this was going to be the Ethiopian bible. Not at all. Amazon hasn't refunded me either.
