"In modern geography the name Ethiopia is confined to the country known as Abyssinia, an extensive territory in East Africa. In ancient times Ethiopia extended over vast domains in both Africa and Asia. It seems certain, that classical historians and geographers called the Whole region from India to Egypt, both countries inclusive, by the name Ethiopia, and in consequence they regarded all the dark-skinned and black peoples who inhabited it as Ethiopia." ~E.A. Wallis Budge, Historian
