See Acts 8 starting at :26.

[Psalm 73]

"...a find that sheds new light on one of the Old World’s most enigmatic kingdoms [Ethiopia] —and its surprisingly early conversion to Christianity."

We're not surprised:

"Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he [the Ethiopian eunuch] answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him."
Acts 8:37-38

Ethiopia has close historical ties with all three of the world's major Abrahamic religions. In the 4th century, the Ethiopian empire was one of the first in the world to officially adopt Christianity as the state religion.

1. Don’t expect the Smithsonian to do anything to support the Bible or Christianity. They are anti-Bible.

2. Why jump to a yarn about Christianity coming to Ethiopia in the 4th century, when Acts Chapter 8 clearly states that the Apostle Philip led a high ranking official in Queen Candace’s court in Ethiopia to Christ, and baptized him. That shows that Christianity came to Ethiopia 300 years before the Smithsonian says it did.

3. Howcum the Ethiopian was reading the Bible (Isaiah 53) when Philip came along? Because God’s Word actually came to Africa many centuries before that. The Queen of Sheba made a trip to Israel to see for herself the splendor of King Solomon’s Court. Tradition says that she and Sol had a little fling, and she returned to Africa bearing Sol’s child; and with a link to ancient Israel and the Living God.

The Ethiopians are very interesting.
My mother did extensive travel...two years around the world and she did stop in Addis Ababa. She wrote that it was thoroughly interesting!
Haile Selassie has to be one of the last emperors in this world.
