This proved to us Amhara is a looter since they started dwelling this earth, Aethiopia existed before Ethiopia country was named, rather it was copied from Aethiopia Ocean. The name of Ethiopia never existed in the 16th century, the Axumite kingdom used to be called Abysinians and the Arabs habesha.

Ethiopia was known as early as 4th Century AD. Ethiopia is mentioned in the Bible. Ethiopia is as ancient as Aksum. Ethiopia is Tigray. Ethiopia is the name of one of the Aksumite Kings.

But what you don't know is that all the portion of Africa to the west and south of Egypt was known as Aethiopia. Your Ethiopia was then known as Abyssinia, located nowhere near its namesake body of water but in the opposite eastern end of Africa which is much closer to Indian Ocean and its subset the Red Sea - and not Aethiopia, or Ethiopia! Therefore, learn this bit and stop jumping up and down with joy for nothing.

Ethiopia was always a landlocked country. Ethiopia only claims the red sea based on their colonisation of Eritrea. Its not called Indian ocean. Its the Somali ocean.
