๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡น Ethiopia Looks Nothing Like What You Expect ..๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡น Ethiopia Looks Nothing Like the Africa ...

But has Ethiopia really travelled seven years into the past?

Absolutely not.

Ethiopia follows the ancient Ethiopian/Geโ€™ez calendar, which differs from the Gregorian calendar used by most countries. The Ethiopian calendar has 13 months, and its New Year, Enkutatash, falls in September.

So why does Ethiopia celebrate 2019 while the rest of the world celebrates 2026?

In this video, we break down the fascinating history behind Ethiopiaโ€™s calendar, explain the seven-to-eight-year difference, and show why Ethiopia is not โ€œbehindโ€ the world โ€” it is simply counting time differently.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡น Happy New Year 2019, Ethiopia!
