But it is not simply the sheer scale of its physical beauty that characterizes this land, where the Blue Nile has carved one of the world's greatest and most awesome gorges. Its ancient and medieval monuments, its proud and colorful cultures, and its varied and often unique wild Life set it apart from all else.
Ethiopia, dissected through its middle by the scar of the Great Rift Valley, is as old as time itself. It is a land claiming a history that goes back to the Old Testament.
It is a land of Sheba, and of Axum and Lilibela, of towering obelisks, and the Ark of the Covenant-a land that was Christian before much of Europe was, and yet unknown to Europe for 1,000 years or more; a land that seems in limbo, forgotten by the world it never forgot. A Journey through Ethiopia is an odyssey of discovery.
And here the incredible beauty of its cultures, landscapes, monuments, architecture, wildlife, and its rich and colorful history are brought unforgettable life through the photography of Mohamed Amin and Duncan Willetts and Alastair Matheson's text.
