Is Seven Lucky? Probably for Blogs.

Hey there, friends.  How has your weekend been so far?   Don't worry, it'll get better.  I mean, you're about to read my blog, how can it not?

The Kebra Negast paints a picture of an Ethiopia that is prosperous and great nation.  That it's empire was extended past where its borders had ever been pushed.  This contrasts greatly to how Ethiopia is nowadays.  In the PowerPoint, we saw a barren and rough terrain, and that Ethiopia has lost much of the power that it had once held.  And while it still has some respect, because of the rumor of the Ark of the Covenant is held there.  But while this is important, it does not do much to curb the third-world nature of the country.  The story, while to be taken with a grain of salt, of the Queen's ability to get Solomon to give her a son to rule Ethiopia, is able to hold Ethiopians together, and keep them going on.  

So that is that.  Peace out, hombres.
