CONTRAST AND SIMILARITIES AMONG HEROS DE ETHIOPIA

Menelik was a son of Salomón and the Queen of Saba. Born in the population of Hamasien in Eritrean. Their mother when it returned from Israel to Ethiopia it was in state of Menelik I. it Took the Ark from the Alliance to Ethiopia when he/she took a trip to Israel to know their father. Haile Selassie was the I finish emperor from Ethiopia, but it is also recognized as God made man, the Lord, among the members of the movement rastafari.

Both have having been emperors from Ethiopia in common, it also unites them the I toss of having the same real descendant and having been proclaimed emperor king on the part of one of their relatives, in the case of Haile Selassie through a coup, and Menelik 1 with the help of their mother that I name him emperor.

But big differences can also be observed, since, they were born in different countries, Haile was born in Ethiopia, and Menelik he was born in Eritrean. This last a mortal emperor was proclaimed, while Haile today in day God made man, the is considered lord, among the members of the movement rastafari. The time in which they governed its command was very different, since Menelik was emperor in the year of 1300, Haile it exercised its command in the year of 1930.

Although these two characters have things in common and different things, it unites them the fact of having transcended the history of Ethiopia

FAMILIES IN ETHIOPIA

The structure of ancient Ethiopian families was so important for them culture, why? Because social life, include politic and economic, turned around family. Everyone person in the family played an important roll that I am going to describe next:

FATHERHe was the worker; he spent time at landscapes with animals and other economic activities. The work includes a lot of things, such as crops, sailing, hunting and manufacturing. Ethiopian culture was so much in everything, at parties the man was the person who drinks all that he wanted; men could chose the wear (women could not) . When a man had a son, he had to be naked and carried his child, in a ritual dance, around the household.

MOTHER: They had very limited freedom outside the home. They could not assistant to parties, just funerals or something related with religious festivals. What was the role? She was the responsible of the house, she had to run the house and bring up children, but they did not do like a wife house, ancient Ethiopian women had slaves.

CHILDREN: Children were youth under the age of 30. Their role did not have importance, they had to help their mother, and help in the fields, if necessary. What did they love to do? Played with many toys, clay animals and stick horses on 4 wheels, with yo-yo’s and girls preferred to play with dolls.In brief Ethiopian families were so religious; they believed in a lot of “gods”, they were polytheist. They had some ritual routines based on mythological situations, they believed in deities and legendary characters.They were so different like us, cultures change and people change. Traditions at eastern are really different with western traditions, it depends at the history and maybe legends.
