This brief history of Ancient Eritra captures its critical and familial history of the people of the region focusing on their origins, their various movements, their high cultures, and the infusion and intrusion of foreign powers and their cultures. It essentially summarizes the linkages and dissonance between Eritrea and Ethiopia, with great accounting of the shared social, and cultural civilizations, their interconnected religious movements and the cause of the fragmentation that lead in historical conflicts.
The author affirms that he drives his own history and that of his family to a line of noble descent up to and including his father, Kegezmatch Zerabruk Megesha.
Highly recommended reading that captures the sense and nuances of Eritrea's highland history.
