A number of Greek and Roman geographers and scholars noted small snippets of information about contemporary Aksum, and certain travelers, merchants, ecclesiastics, and ambassadors added various facts about the country in […]
BY DRUSILLA DUNJEE HOUSTON The excavations of Petrie revealed in Egypt the remains of a distinct race that preceded the historic Egyptians.
