They were told not to squeeze to hard when shaking hands since the Emperor might have to shake hundreds of hands on one occasion.

His Majesty Hileselase was a friend of Kenya's first President Jomo Keneyatta. He made a.state visit and one of the majour highway is named after him in Nairobi - Haileselase Aveneu. While Kenya was under British colony,many Ethiopians were supporting the mao mao movement. The Ethiopian students in America were campaigning against the British on thier rule in Kenya which many Kenyans are not educted in thier school.

I did not realize that. I'm not knowledgeable about rastafarians at all. Everyone I know about them comes from Keith Richard's autobiography. He started a great band in Jamaica (the wingless angels), and was not part of the religion, but thought it made some sense, considering the situation in the islands. The only other rasta I knew of was a friends brother who was just really violent and high all the time. I can't imagine someone that high wanting to be violent, but, who knows ...

This is really cool! Just one question, would it be “human paleontology” or “archaeology”? I only ask because I’m studying archaeology and I didn’t know if there was also such thing as human paleontology.

Yes, but it's a very sensible balance - you must think about the long term. Would you do something that would make you unpopular while it would indirectly benefit everyone else? You have to be able to look at the bigger picture. Probably his grand plan was not working out as he planned it, so he had a bumpy road and a mega failure.

This is also classic case of "die the hero or live long enough to become the villain."

Except, though he ruled with an iron fist, he was apparently not corrupt. To my eyes it looks like he was doing what needed to be done. Seems everyone else was corrupt, they craved that which they did not have, so they killed him for it. If that is not corruption, I don't know what is. What say you about that?

@@danielduncan6806 That throwing lavish parties for yourself to cover up a famine in your nation sounds pretty darn corrupt to me :) It took a commendably long time, but he still got there in the end. I think if you judged him by any standards other than the one guy with ultimate power and ultimate responsibility for his nation, you could probably still call him a good man to the end. But unfortunately for him, those were the standards that he chose for himself, and people will judge him by them. The people who came after certainly did seem to be more corrupt, based on what's said in this video.

Well said, as a Rastafarian we still need to be aware of his human flaws, can’t get carried away in well intended mysticism.

The shah wasn't that smart anyways.

He ran when war came his way ...

His Majesty fought tirelessly on the frontline against the Italians, the footage is on youtube… He went into exile against his own wishes and went along with the advice of his council and wife to seek to end the war through means of diplomacy at the League of Nations… The rest is history… Haile Selassie was congratulated by winston Churchill for being the first to conquer fascism in world war 2… Facts…

Very well written, also the Emperor did not just simply flee Ethiopia as this would mention The Emperor was in north with His Fighting force (near the are of the mountain known as a defender "he who goes before the emperor" not 100% sure on that, my memory could be off) Manning an anti aircraft gun fighting against the invading Italian army. He would note the bravery of the enemy aircraft he would see diving down against oncoming fire. Unfortunately the enemy forces were overwhelming and using chemical weoponary, the emperor's own hands had seen damage. Decision was made to retread, against advice the Emperor had made the decision to detour on the way back to Addis Ababa and pilgrimage to Lalibella, a longer, ardeuos and difficult journey. Upon arrival at Lalibella the Emperor went on to spend the night in Deep Prayer, visibly distressed. Returning from the front along his path through Lalibella to Addis Ababa where after meeting with the Ministry, it had been decided for the best that the emperor to leave the empire and personally appeal to the league of nations. The Emperor was seen off by Train, with him others also left. This train left from Addis Ababa to Djibouti, and then to the port, where a British Naval ship (not sure of name) had taken the Emperor as guest. His first stop, Jerusalem! Where upon his arrival the local population was stunned at this personality. He went on to spend the time praying with Monks at the Ethiopian Holy Site Staying the night, again in deep meditative pray. (Dome of the church of the sepulchre?) Hope you find something of interest in what is written. Regards

Religion is the worst.

And then those the jews genoziced and murdered tons of Palestinians… and illegaly occupied it even till now

That's very true. The worst part was when he celebrated his birthday in an extravagant ceremony with a huge cake that was made in the U.K while millions were starving to death. There are even stories of how the cake was damaged due to turbulence en route to Addis Ababa and that it was returned back to the U.K to be remade.

The acts of said landlords doe not suggest complicity on behalf of the Emperor. Also, "subservience to Him" makes it sound as if He was simply a self-serving autocrat, which of course is not true, not by any stretch.

​@@irical100 I mean, he was self-serving to a degree. His vision for Ethiopia was to make it a respected and modern nation on the continent, but only with him as its non-negotiable focal point. In many ways he viewed Ethiopia as an extension of himself. It doesn't take away from some of the positive reforms he introduced, but it should not be ignored either.

@@irical100 he was complicit He hated that region and people and didn’t care they were starving nor sent any aid that way

You assume Selassie had power over those landlords.

Well another Ethiopian...Prime minister Abiy Ahmed repeated the same action as his brave Grand fathers! In 2021

@@CHERKE_JEMA5575 Abiy the war criminal

@@walkercramer8765 no, Walker Cramer is the war criminal

He did so however with the help of a few European Empires who were enemies with Italy, people forget that while the Europeans were out colonizing the world they were also butting heads and fighting with each other a lot....it was pretty normal for a European power to align themselves with a native group or indigenous empire to take a stand against one of their enemies....take for example how the Ottomans aligned with Germany in ww1 because both powers had a common enemy in France and Britain....colonialism is often portrayed as this "white people Vs indigenous people" which for the most part it was, but there was also a lot of "white people Vs white people" and "white people align with indigenous people to take out other white people or other indigenous people too".... South Africa is a perfect example of this, how the Basotho, Xhosa, Swati tribes aligned with the British against the combined alliance of the Boers and the Zulu and in exchange the Swati were awarded with their own land and country called Eswatini or Swaziland today and the baSotho were given Lesotho as their country within the borders of South Africa.

@@cyborgchicken3502 not really the only help emperor Menelik II received was in the form of an arms deal from the Russians. he did however manage to modernize his army prior to the Italo-Ethiopian-war I through trade with the British and Italians themselves. To downplay an entire nation's achievement against colonization as some proxy war between western countries is ignorant. you wouldn't say the french won USA its independence despite it having received far more help and aid than the Ethiopians had in both of their wars against the Italians.

Menelik hid in his cave with his Shewa royal guard. It was the masterful strategy by the great Tigrayan general Ras Alula that was responsible for this victory . In fact Ras Alula advocated to follow the retreating Italians into Eritrea and destroy them completely restoring Eritrea back to Ethiopia. But the weak Menelik decided to let them retreat and then made a treaty with them that they get to keep Eritrea. Fast forward to this day and you can see the devastating consequences of this decision. Ethiopia is landlocked , Eritrea is ruled by a dictator , and war is rampant .

@@cyborgchicken3502 The white man Minlik(he believed he was white) him self went ahead and colonized Oromos and southern nations right after. With the help of the British obviously. He was 100x more brutal then British ever was. But let’s not talk about that….

It might have been the oldest monarchy in all history

Indeed, it was the Kingdom of Axum, it was one of the four 'civilised' empires, 'Rome', 'Persia', 'China' and 'Axum', it's basically tied with Armenia as the first-second christian nation in the world, even before Rome itself, they had control of Yemen too!

Ethiopia is one of the most fascinating countries you’ll ever read about as they have their own unique sect of Christianity to the fact that they never suffered European colonialism.

If you're not t aware of the battle of Adwa 1896, do check it out. Never since Hanibal defeated Rome had a European army ever been defeated until this battle. War strategists to this day say it is "mindboggling" how men brandishing spears and shields could defeat a fully militarized Iralian army. Bless

The period where Byzantium was a power in the Eastern Mediterranean for a very long time. But Ethiopia did exist during that whole time period. However Ethiopia's peak was when it was known as the Axumite Empire and even took over Yemen supposedly on the behest of the Byzantine Emperor because the Jewish Himyarite Kingdom was persecuting Christians there. But they eventually collapsed at the hands of the Jewish warrior queen, Judit, and while she was eventually defeated, Ethiopia never reached the heights it once did, especially once the Muslim powers surrounded them and diplomatically isolated them from the other Christians in Europe. By the time the Portuguese "found" the Ethiopians, they were in a middle of a losing war against the Muslims and but the timely intervention saved them. Ethiopia was already so isolated from Europe by the point that the Portuguese thought they were the legendary kingdom of Prester John and allegedly even addressed the emperor as such (and I think the Ethiopians went along with it lol).

You don't have to dig too deep my friend!...He (Haile Selassie 1) cannot tell us that He is God, we (all of humanity) are expected to recognize Him. It is the perfect litmus test to see how we will judge / evaluate another. If we judge upon the merits presented to us, we will recognize our creator. For many God couldn't be so obvious....lol...yet the thesis is scientifically sound and correct! Bless

Thanks 😊. Please explore the ancient book of Psalms 87. This is key 🔑 to solving the entire mystery surrounding this man. Note, that it says "this and that man was born there. The preposition the sentence"this man", is the same man born in Ethiopia. The symbolism of where God dwells is in Zion (Ethiopia)....while some critics may see otherwise, it can be found in the evidence of the church at Lalibella. My hypothesis is that it stands ss the most impregnable structure upon this entire earth 🌎. It has not one laid stone. Hewn from solid granite in the shape of a cross. During the Italian invasion of 1935 the wearied commander (Haile Selassie I) encouraged a handful of soldiers to head with Him to the church at Lalibella to seek God's refuge and pray- only He endured and made it there whereupon he fervently prayed. We already know the outcone. Benito Mussolini was bought down to Milan where he was strung upside down along with his wife and cronies. It is the most horrifying film footage that one could ever see. Literally thousands come out to maime and spit upon the bodies. Haile Selassie's harbinger of these events can be found in Psalms 9 & 46, both of which were read during the evening in the chapel, the evening before the coronation (02.11.1930).....Psalms 46: 10...Be still and know that I am God- this ushering in the moments before He officially becomes God. While He was always God from the beginning. This is the greatest mystery. Bless

Go read rev 5

Please share your point of the suggested reading (Rev 5). It clearly shows that there is a problem. Someone is needed to "decipher" and "unlock" a mystery. It says that no one was found worthy to reveal the seven seals. But alas, there was a lamb seen in the midst of the throne that was slain before the foundation of the earth - Jesus Christ. He is the only qualified to reveal the Father to the world. Since that time and up until now, the vivid description can only point to one person in history (if judged upon its merits), namely Qedamawi Haile Selassie 1. The proud and lofty in heart would discount this to be Haile Selassie 1. Who can Babylon produce?....but we have have His teachings, witnessed His righteousness acts, seen His judgments upon the nation's. God only remains to be invisible if you don't believe in God. Please give your insights and let us know how by your reasoning He is cannot be God and is purely a prophet. Thanks
