It is very odd that there isn't anything here that talks about the famine in the mid 1980's?

Pre-history

It looks like KKK scientists and Hollywood racists came together for racist rants. Racist white culture workers, i.e.Hollywood, referring to black Africa as Lucy "she", not-man-enough, not strong enough to prevent its enslavement and colinization are joined by equally racist scientists who gave the dehumanizing justification for mistreating, colonizing and enslaving "ape" Africa. Otherwise, in a non-racist science, this discovery would just have referred to a female australopicus. Such outrageous statements shouldn't have been brought here into wikipedia. I mean, unless the editor is a messenger of hate, you should have evaluated it as racist and cut to substance.

Pliny

I've deleted this: However, the Roman historian Pliny the Elder (79 CE) uses "Aethiopia" exclusively for Sub-Saharan Africa, expressly stating that the inhabitants of the Upper Nile from Elephantine as far as Meroe in his day were not from Aethiopia, but were Nubians.^[1] Pliny also described Adulis, in modern-day Eritrea, which port he said was the Ethiopians' principal trading town. I see this has been changed today, with 'Arab' replace by 'Nubians'.

Ok, here's the source [1] - can someone else determine what it really says? And we can't say Pliny uses anything exclusively without a reliable source. Dougweller (talk) 18:08, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ethopia and the Bible

Both the old version and the new version lack independent sources and appear to be editors' interpretions, thus original research. This section needs reliable sources. Dougweller (talk) 18:10, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dʿmt

The Dʿmt section of Antiquity doesn't have anything to do with D'mt itself. It just goes on about the name of Ethiopia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EmperorOfSiberia (talk • contribs) 18:29, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Axum

What has the Korean War to do with the Axumit kingdom. Cancel this Korean linkage. --Altaye (talk) 14:09, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
