Three Muslim towns found in Ethiopia
By: Nurol-Hussein
AMHARA, Ethiopia: In north Ethiopia's Amhara state, some three
medieval Muslim towns, now ruins, have been discovered.
In a statement, the country's authority for research and conservation
of cultural heritage said the towns were discovered at the beginning
of this year.
Some of the buildings of the towns are several meters high and include
mosques, dwellings and surrounding walls, it said.
The towns are called Asberi, Masal and Nora, located on the escarpment
of the rift valley.
It is probably that these urban sites were founded in the period from
the 14th century up to the beginning of the 15th century
contemporaneous with the flourishing of the kingdom of Ifat, the
authority said.
The sites are now approved as the most important Muslim archeological
remains in Ethiopia.

better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
