Ethiopia's rich and wonderful history has been traced to four million years ago, based on the oldest hominid discovered by the respected American paleoanthropologist Tim D. White in 1994. First known as Abyssinia, this landlocked East African country and its empire were founded in the thirteenth century by the formidable nobleman Yekuno Amlak who claimed to be descended from the renowned Queen of Sheba and the last Aksumite king Menelik I. Enriching its vibrant, often violent history, was the country's deep-rooted faith in an ancient form of Christianity. As rulers and leaders rose and fell, wars were fought to keep the Christian faith at the heart of the land. The struggle for power came to a fraught end, along with the empire in 1974.
