Recent archaeology is uncovering some fascinating answers. South of Axum, visitors can see the quarry where the tall stones that decorated Axum were carved--and can also see the form of a lioness that some human (or maybe, according to legend, the Archangel Michael) scratched onto the rock thousands of years ago. In 2012, a British archaeologist working in Ethiopia crawled under a stone carved with a sun and crescent moon, the and found a gold mine with an inscription in Sabaean, which, as she says, is "the language that the Queen of Sheba would have spoken." She adds, "The fact that we might have the Queen of Sheba's mines is extraordinary." In this book, you can see a few glimpses into some of the long stories of Ethiopia that are revealed in its cities and rural areas.

Like the self-described 'football fanatics' who cheer on the national team, the Walia Antelopes, many Ethiopians enjoy playing for fun with friends and neighbors around East Africa. It is as much a social activity as a recreational one, and it is shared widely among the children of Ethiopia. Learn to read in Somali and English with the running, joyous feet of happy children. Side by side bilingual text supports emerging readers and charming watercolor illustrations bring the game to life." -- Amazon.com]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4097717</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4097717</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kurtz, Jane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4097717030</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Waan Jeclahay Kubada Cagta</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798296491343/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hands]]></title><description><![CDATA[Our hands can do so many things!

The life-giving headwaters of the longest river in the world (it flows through a quarter of Africa!) begin in the high mountains of Ethiopia at Lake Tana, which feeds the river Abay. Over its thousand-mile journey, the Abay provides nourishment, transportation, hydration, entertainment and habitat for rare and wonderful plants, birds, animals and cultures.
