Ethiopia. The home of the first written music, preceding Europe by a thousand years. Home of one of the most ancient alphabets. Home of the ancient obelisks of Axum, the Lalibela churches, the Saf Omarn Caves, the Kunse terraces and Harar. The home of much, much more plus 70 million Ethiopians with more than 80 languages. A mix of spiritual and cultural wonders side by side with extreme poverty and want due to wars and aggression.
