Herodotus
(500 BC) the so-called father of history gives us an accurate
description of some events and the
route some Jews followed to reach Ethiopia! The following is an extract
from
his book:
Herodotus
writes:
"You will then
disembark and travel along the river for forty days as there are sharp
rocks by the banks of river Nile as well as many falls
through which you
cannot sail. Marching for forty days you then can again sail on a boat
for twelve days! That will bring you to a big city called Meroee! This
city is said to be the mother of Ethiopia... Now from this city on,
traveling equal time as from the Elephantine island to Meroee, you will
come to the land of the 'deserters'!
These were many
inhabitants of Egypt who
revolting from the Egyptian army joint the Ethiopians around the time of
Pharaoh Psametichus 595-589BC. Settling between the Ethiopians made them more
civilized learning knowledge and ways of the Egyptians...
The river Nile is a
known country, adding all together, it takes four months of journey by
sail and road from the Elephantine island to reach the land of the 'deserters' of
whom I spoke!"
