| Summary: | The Zagwe period is believed to be the richest and most artistic period of Ethiopian civilization since the conversion of Ezana though its achievements have been virtually consigned to obscurity. One of the ideological weapons which aggravated its obscurity is arguably the deep-rooted allegiance of the Kəbrȁ Nȁgȁśt to the Solomonic Dynasty. Contemporary researchers on Kəbrȁ Nȁgȁśt seem to have underestimated the ideological onslaught of the Kəbrȁ Nȁgȁśt on the Zagwe period that Agäw contribution to the medieval Ethiopian civilization has been virtually shrouded in mystery. Thus, expatriate and compatriot authorities on the medieval Ethiopian cultural history are called upon to demystify the obscurity of the Zagwe period, thereby, to reconstruct the unsung contributions of Agäw civilization with intellectual profundity and inquiry. |
