ETHIOPIA

Ancient Greeks were so overwhelmed by the Ethiopians of their era (500 B.C.) that Ethiopia was known to them as the "Land of the Gods." Ethiopia was the original home of the Greeks (and later Roman) gods. Greece's gods returned home annually to Ethiopia for twelve days of feasting and partying, says iconic Greek poet, Homer, in the ILIAD. Indeed, The Ethiopians and Egyptians (northern migrant Ethiopians) were deemed by them, the Greeks, to be the handsomest, tallest, most righteous of men on Earth, founders of all civilization literature, geometry, science, medicine, all.
