Africa is so beautiful the land of all history. . .

አገሬ ጎንደር በሰላም እግዚአብሔ ይመልሰኝ።
Ethiopia is the oldest Nation with lots of history and culture. It is always a blessing to visit such a beautiful place ...thanks for sharing !!
Yes, Ethiopia is extremely diverse and interesting to visit - from rich history to stunning natural scenery !
Китай старше, а Греция еще старше.
@@francoisvillon1300Greece is less old then China Xia dynasty is less then Cretan Culture or Minoans
Thanks for posting what National geographic would never display.
hahaha why would they never show this?
Even he does not why. He is just repeating what he heard before
Connor Mason because National Geographic wants to convince people that Africans all Africans were nomads lived in mud huts. When In fact Africans build monuments, palaces, and places of worship using brick, stone, Adobe clay and mudbricks
@@wayne47able yeah most African Americans used to ask me if I live in a tree that really used to get my nerve😁😁😁
Lemlem the sad thing about that is that African Americans are the direct descendants of Africans who went on to do great things. But living in America in a westernized society, you will always be taught in some shape or form, that Africa is somehow inferior.
Beautiful castles and palaces. These shows that they had a rich culture and a beautiful historical sites. Thanks for sharing.
Yes Ethiopia is historical, but the youth in the city have made this place impossible to visit. I recommend Tigray which is the only peaceful historical place right now

Thanks for sharing the Palaces and Castles of Gondar. The music you chose was perfect and added to the mystique of these places.
I was intentionally looking for music fitting the atmosphere of these places. Glad to here you find it suitable for the video :)

I would have said the same, if it was not for your youth who ar bigots destroying the city and the reputation of the Amhara people. Thousands of people from the Tigray and Oromo were killed and displaced by people who say they love their Gondar. What a people.
AWESOME! Thank you for such lovely moment....
I love my Ethiopia !!! Thank you for sharing !!!
Thank you for sharing! My home town Gonder Fasil Castle!
Beautiful with a rich history. thank you !
beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Gondar is such a wonderful city in Ethiopia, Amhara Region.
It is dangerous to be in this place at the moment, travel to peaceful places like Axume and Tigray
@@berhehagos6149 YOU ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH! HATE IS WORST THAN CANCER! YOU SENDING WRONG INFORMATION TO SCARE PEOPLE FROM VISITING GONDER ! . . GONDER IS PEACEFUL ! KEEP COMING GONDER!
@@Hiwot95 I never said it is not wonderful. I was telling the truth. Lying will not promote your City. Tell instead the youth in your city to think bigger than killing and persecuting people of other ethnicities. This in its turn has created a city of violence and anarchy. Any one can google get information of violences in the city for the past two years. Tourists are not stupid as you think, the will google and find out who is telling the truth. As for hate, it is the same google Makle and you will not see any persecution or killings of Amhara people in Tigray like in the Amhara region and Gonder
@@berhehagos6149 tf are u talking about lol ppl are dying in welkait and raya bc of their ethnicity so tigray is like a hell now amhara is very peaceful ante ye tplf kula tebi tebeda
I love natural things, history.. I wish I could be a bird like you and flying everywhere to see all this.. Keep sharing please... Very great job and thanks :)

wow! my beloved cantry I miss you
ኢትዮጵያዊ በመሆኔ ኩራት ይሰማኛል።
Very good
This is so fascinating ... really am beginning to believe that ancient india and ancient africa were connected .... especially Ethiopia and Sudan. In our texts, there is alot of mention of Gandar and I wonder if it is linked with Gondar. Similarly the kush kingdom who were fantastic archers.... maybe it's not connected, but the more I read about it, I am beginning to see our texts in a very different perspective!
This is not ancient.. it is 600 years ago but ancient India and ethiopia/axum empire(1000+years) were indeed connected .. Indian coins were found in aksum/ethiopia .. they used to do tradings 😊
@@rediettadesse2828
You’re so pathetic sister
Antigua capital imperial de Ethiopia ,un lugar amurallado solo para las élites de los mandantes emperadores y sus cortes ,, contrucción muy bellas que a pesar del tiempo y abandono aún muestran su gran potencial de bellezas aún que esconden grandes lugurias y salvajismo a dónde todo estaba permitido para sastifacion de los poderosos,, me encantó la música ,,el vídeo magnífico como siempre
i admire you
Wow
Wowwww viry naic
you missed the spot where the king used to get his water, it was beautiful

Glory to Ethiopia
Magnificent video .. Many thanks dear friend * Greetings to you :-)

Does anyone know how it's possible (4:03) that there are trees seemingly growing on top of a brick wall with roots reaching to the ground? I don't understand how that happened
Very common for old trees. When the roots grow out around the base of a tree they can find and sometimes even dig their way through walls- just like ivy digs into your house. Over a long period of time the roots can grow up and over walls as you see here. Sometimes the trunks of trees that have grown next to things can expand with age and begin to engulf sturdy objects they are next to- this takes many hundreds of years. A combination of these two adaptations can see trees grow all over things. In an open feild they grow vertically, towards the sunshine for food. But they can grow in hugely versatile ways, sometimes weaving their way through abandoned buildings or even engulfing iron fences.
That's why Mayan temples were descovered buried under labyrinths of trees and roots. Google images "mayan temples in tree roots" for a better visual example. Or "tree grown around bike" will take you to a famous ww2 photo of a young boys bike that has been engulfed by an oak tree, and now stands suspended about 35 foot in the air through the middle of its trunk.
Many very old trees just grow around and on top of things in this way. I'm from the UK and we have some very old stuff here too, you can see trees that have grown in this manner as well. Sometimes swallowing walls, iron railings or disused infrastructure.
Hope i helped and have a nice day friend 👍
@@helenbrown7440 Thank you for explaining! I previously didn't know trees could grow this way. Also thanks for the examples, they're super fascinating!
Waawwwnice selam Ethiopian
Wow, so beautiful! It's interesting that even south of the Sahara, medieval Hindu/Arab and European Baroque style architecture can be found. And it makes sense considering how close E.Africa and the Arabian Peninsula are to one another - they nearly touch!
Thank u so this can tell that we Ethiopians are not black but Semitic peoples which makes us different in terms of culture, language, facial features, skin color e.t.c
@Admire Kashiri nah ethiopia Don't mean burned face thats a lai the name ethiopia comes from the king etopis you can find it in the book of axum a very ancient secret book
@Admire Kashiri no Nubian style is pyramids ..but this SAME looking castles are all over Europe...
@Admire Kashiri no Nubian style is pyramids ..but this SAME looking castles are all over Europe...
@Admire Kashiri they had pyramids not castles resembling this ... there are the same looking castle like this in Europe
It's even a different era we talking here .. nubia is very ancient while this is 17th century
Please show the inside of the Church, Castle, Bath House...if you can...

May Ethiopia endure forever, and may it become a Christian kingdom once more.
Amen
AMEN ! THANK YOU!
It already is.
Christianity has never ceased in Ethiopia since the third century A.D my friend problem is western European Christianity has strayed from ways of this ancient monarchy of the Christian faith
It is christian is 68% and Muslim are very good people here
Comment ils appelle les châteaux en amharique cest sur k sa ne porte pas ce nom de château
My name is Rivkah Gondar
Wow beautiful name !!!
@@selamawitghebre3118 thanks!
Sorry to spoil your fun but the place is actually called Gonder. Addis ababa is actually called Addis Abeba. I don't get why western people always changes e with an "a".
@@damanredarnishu5509 🤣 bro you are party puper I swear 😭

i didnt not know ethiopia had castles
+cliff woodbury Was quite a discovery for me too, the first time I saw pictures from Gondar :)
We do have few of them
yes so many churches were burnt during different war .. different eras.. ahmed gragn .. yodit gudit ...
@@rediettadesse2828 ahmed didn't destroy much oromos did he actually converted churchs to mosques but when died it waa reconverted and most anceint castles and churches are neglected by the modern Ethiopians like the castle of gazarat which is a century older than gonder but its heavily neglected
Y a quien pertenecio ese castillo pregunta
ITS OUR .
ጎንደር ሀገሬ ነው
So, why don't you advise the youth in Gonder to stop destroying it. It is very difficult to visit in such a a volatile city today.
Who build this?
several Ethiopian emperors, beginning in 17th century
dawit s adulis arent for tigringa man they are other tribe
Griez Mann tigringa, amhara, tigre, they Language is semetic Language but people are all arent semetic people half kush People in tigringa half in tigre half in amhara they com to habesha. our family if speak amharic or tigringa it mean I am semetic 😆 ? no no u must know tribe

Actually tho the brits actually bomded this place when they were fighting thr Italians and actually looted Ethiopia a century before that
They look a LOT like English Castles.... and they're several centuries OLDER than the english ones ...... mmmmm .... what's going on here ? ......
@@user-mq6qv6bi2g Not true.
Ethiopian had Castles befor the English did!
@Admire Kashiri where did it found??
If Ethiopians castle is the older It age it means the European took it from here .. goes both ways depending on who build it first
There's also a place in Ethiopia called Rohan. That can't be a coincidence
There is a place called roha haha
@John Williams ROFL
This castle Our fathers they made it with eggs
Kkkk turin, venice, colesum, bridges of bova marina, you have only uno, look addis abeba, you don't have proper sewage system
Are you ok? What are you talking about?🤣
look at shabiya talking
Even the castles was not created by Europenas LMAO
LET ME GUESS AFRICANS DID'NT build these either huh
These were the only things. Only in Ethiopia
Those buildings are fully built by Ethiopians not WHITE peoples.
Dhar Tichitt, Loropeni, Mbanza Kongo, Great Zimbabwe, Naletale, Khami ruins, Kilua Kisiwani, Gede ruins, Lamu, Malindi, Zanzibar, Lalibela, Aksum, D'mt,Meroe, Naqa, Dedob, El Kurru, Kerma,...
Jerald Smith they did build it stop being such a bummer dude
TheCrazyKid1381 several empires built big structures that were from outside Ethiopia. Africa is full of royal and powerful history
