Hello, curious bookworms. Welcome to another eye-opening episode of Worthscope’s Playing Books Podcast🎙️. 

History! History! History! This is a fascinating piece on history. Formative, interesting history at that. You are about to discover the origins of civilization, core creativity, language, culture, prescience, science, art, and music in one of the world’s oldest places, Ethiopia, East Africa. Whatever assumptions you hold dear about the past, this episode will challenge and even shake them off with accurate knowledge and first-hand accounts.

Ethiopia is one of the places on Earth with numerous traces and evidence of a complex and enduring civilization. We explore Steven Kaplan’s The Ethiopians: Lost Civilizations in this episode. Biased historians often portray Ethiopia as the ultimate geographical and cultural conundrum as far as history is concerned. However, substantial historical evidence suggests that it is far from the reality. Mentioned forty-five times in the Hebrew Bibe, Ethiopia, and Ethiopians pioneered many positive inventions, including mechanical agriculture, writing, and knowing the time. Did you know what Ethiopia means? Burnt face. You don’t want to miss this interesting podcast episode. It is complex, revealing, suspenseful, fun, and palpable. We don’t yet know how Ethiopia came to be such a key hub of a rich and intriguing past. Do you know? Do you know any studies, books, or research that unveil this? Ethiopians and Ethiopia will continue to puzzle many, such as how they successfully withstood European colonialism, and the beginning of Christianity.
