Remember that history as you look at Ethiopia from your colonial clouded view point.
Pretty useless civilization. What have they been doing from biblical age that they have never dominated Africa? They enslaved blacks (shanqalla) for hard labour for thousands of years till the Italians stopped them (pretty uncivilized). They still have the racial discrimination which affects access to resources and social opportunites. This is a feudal society-pampered, isolationist and doing very little technological innovation. Feudal systems with their classes/castes endure for a long time but rarely develop until the system evolves to create equality. Forget about Ethiopia dominance for now.
In other news. I was informed by an Ethiopian that Tigriny, Armharic and Oromifa languages are derivatives of Greek language. I do not know if this is true or not.
This could explain why they do not consider themselves as Africans.
That Armharic was an army language (much of swahili in Uganda).
Again this may explain why Ethiopia is still a military state. They believe in guns and force.
