Ethiopia and Abyssinia are not the same. Ancient Ethiopia was a land of Kush people. While Abyssinia is a land of Semetic people. Abyssinia is only a place found in North of Today's Ethiopia and Eritria. Ancient Ethiopia is a place cavers a Kushtic civilization. Today's Ethiopian has nothing with Ancient Ethiopia or Abyssinia. It is a country established by Colony.There for don't mix it up and confuse people.<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://ethiopiatribe.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=298&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report this comment">Report This Comment</a></p> dear researcher.

Some people consider it comes from an Arabic word meaning “mixed” - a reference to the country’s many ethnic groups; others believe that the name belonged to an early Ethiopian tribe.".......Abyssinians are not Ethiopians. Sabeans are not ethipians. Queen sheaba was not ethiopian's Queen. ethiopians are Cushite people who live in north eastern africa. Ethiopia were there before 3000 yrs ago. So u failed to define Ethiopia? Abyssinia is English or Portugese name of Habesha......

These are my findings: 1. the word amhare/amhara seems to me a conjoined word from 'am' and 'hara'meaning the free , the soldier or the beautiful one as interpreted on the internet.Yoruba has the same as 'Omo' 'Ore' 'The sacred people' Omo meaning people or child and Ore meaning a sort of a prehistoric deity prevalent in the present Yoruba world. 2.Zemene Mesafin meaning the princes, is of exact meaning in the Yoruba world, bearing it as 'Osinmole M'olaafin' . Osin is a royal cognomen and Alaafin is also same in Yoruba world 3. Oranmiyan is the most popular and the most successfull of Oduwa's children. He was even the founder of the great Oyo empire of Yoruba nation but i just discovered Oromiyan tribe in ethiopia in fact the Oyo people of the Yoruba sometimes pride themselves as 'Oromo Jogbo' 4. A major prehistoric spot in the highlands of northcentral ethiopia is called Adwa. In fact there was a major battle fought here. The name of the founder of Yoruba race is OOduwa. His statue bear a striking resemblance with the Ahmore pple of ethiopia in an amazing arrangement of beads in style and shapes . Adwa statue has 2 ring brass around the neck followed by arrays of big ball of beads and a wedge of cowry chain! ( google Ife Art of the Yorubas) 5. One of Odwa children who eventually became a king even decided to be called the king of kozo and the Ifa deity emphasized on this. His name Shango coincides with a prehistoric settlement between congo and Uganda border known as Ishango which might actually be a lost fragment of the ancient kush because it's close to southern ethiopia still! 6. This deified king Shango is very popular with his dressing holding a wand called Ose that bears an etymological traces to the ancient ethiopian cross! (i found one in the brooklyn museum!) 7.Food in Yoruba language is called 'Ounje ' and soup or stew is 'Obe' Infact there is a sort of food called "Akara" and 'Ojojo' fries which i found out is common in names only to both culture. 8. A lot of indigenous Ethiopian names are of unprecedented similarities to Yorubas I have traced this amazing closeness to southern Sudan where they used to have the Meroitic dynasty and way back to ancient Egypt! There are even a strong possibility i may employ a form of forensic investigation in the future.<p class="wp-report-this"><a href="http://ethiopiatribe.com?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=comment&object_id=28&width=250&height=300" class="thickbox" title="Report this comment">Report This Comment</a></p> I need someone who is rooted in deep knowledge of prehistoric Ethiopia to help because what I discovered from research is having a close affinity with a nation of west Africa known globally as Yorubas.
