Ethiopia
lies between the Equator and the Tropic of
Capricorn. Its area is 1,112,000 square
Kilometers. Most parts of it are elevated
plateau rising from 2100 - 4400 meters. It
is divided into climate regions marked as
Depression" which at some points descends
more than 90 meters below sea level.
Majestic mountains, imposing peaks,
alluring and glamorous gorges, ravishing
tablelands, verdant pasturelands,
luxuriant tropical regions and the
magnificent Rift Valley are some of its
physical formations.
Splendid
landscapes sparsely wooded semi-desert
tracts, tremendous and unfamiliar physical
relief and the infrequent wilderness are
some of the captivating, astonishing and
outlandish attractions that Ethiopia
offers. As a land of great physical
contrast, its different territories are
scenic and awe-inspiring. The innumerable,
magnificent crater lakes characterized by
their aquatic life, the alarming abysses,
the interweaving rivers, the enticing and
graceful waterfalls, the extraordinary
Savannah, the unusual wild domains and the
uncommon natural phenomena in some parts
of this bounteous country are
mystery-shrouded and bizarre.
Fascinating
as the Ethiopian history might be, even
more so is its less known pre-history. The
discovery in Ethiopia in 1974 of a 3.3
million year fossilized skeleton of a
distinct human being has confirmed the
long-standing assumption that mankind
originated in Africa (Ethiopia). It has
also proved since 1994 that Ethiopia is
the origin of man's earliest ancestry
Ardipithecus Ramidus dating back to 4.4
million years. Scientists have confirmed
that the skeleton was the remains of a
woman whom they, somewhat romantically,
christened as Lucy.
The
cradle of mankind with a recorded history
of 3000 years! Mosaic of unique cultures
and home of the world's rarest animal and
bird life. The history of Ethiopia, as the
story of the interaction of diverse groups
on one side and their collective response
to an external challenge on the other has
fascinated generations of scholars. A
prominent Italian scholar, Conti Rossini,
described Ethiopia as museo dei popoli,
the museum of peoples or, as we say
nowadays, "a land of nations and
nationalities. More to come, including
tour itineraries.
