During the classes

Teacher question:"Ethiopia. Can one of you explain what this word means. "

Student response: "The word" Ethiopia "in translation from Greek" the country of people with sun-scorched faces. "

Teacher question: “Tell me which city in Ethiopia, in your opinion, should be the starting point of travel around the country. What can the name of this city mean, what sights can tourists see in this city and what living conditions can this city provide? "

Student response: “The starting point of travel around the country, of course, should be the city of Addis Ababa - the capital of the country. It is located in the western part of the state, in the Ethiopian Highlands, at an altitude of 2,400 meters. The air is very thin here. The city is protected from the winds by the mountains; it is very warm during the day all year round, but the nights are cool. The whole city is buried in greenery. Perhaps that is why it got its name Addis Ababa, which is translated from Ethiopian as “new flower”. Another figurative name for the city is “the city of eternal spring”. Addis Ababa will offer a wide range of accommodation and accommodation for tourists. Addis Ababa is the cultural center of the country, so tourists can visit the national library, temples, museums and the famous city market here.

Teacher question: Tell me, what landscapes can tourists traveling in Ethiopia see?
What interesting natural objects related to the geological structure of the territory can they see in different parts of the country? And are there any risks to travelers associated with natural conditions country?

Student response: Ethiopia is the most mountainous country on the African continent. More than half of its territory is located at absolute heights exceeding 1,500 meters, and is the Ethiopian Highlands, stretching from the Tigray region in the north to the Gamo-Gofa region in the south. In the north-west of the country there is the highest peak of the highland - Mount Ras Dashen (4620 m.), Located to the north-east of Lake Tana. Since the Ethiopian Highlands are in a fault zone, earthquakes are frequent here. Every year in Ethiopia there are weak (3 - 5 points) earthquakes, and about once every 5 years - strong earthquakes. Dozens of large volcanic cones rise above the mountain plateaus. The craters of extinct volcanoes are dilapidated and occupied by lakes. In addition, the relief shows numerous table heights - outliers, which have the local name "amba". The Ethiopian Highlands in the east drops abruptly to the deepest Afar depression in Africa (116 m below sea level) in the form of a scarp with absolute heights of 2100 - 2400 meters. The western slopes of the highlands are more gentle than the eastern ones. Within the central highlands, there are many volcanic cones and craters of extinct volcanoes (one of them is clearly visible from Addis Ababa). The rift zone contains fumaroles and hot springs with high steam emissions. In the Afar depression, volcanic processes have not yet completely died out and there are active volcanoes (Gabuli volcano). Mountain ranges surrounded by vast plains - characteristic feature landscape of the southeastern part of the Ethiopian Highlands. The plains surrounding the Ethiopian Highlands constitute a significant part of the country.

Teacher question: “The temperature in Ethiopia, depending on the altitude of the place, ranges from 15 to 35 degrees. Hot. But will there be a need to take umbrellas or raincoats with you on a trip?

Student response: Unlike the surrounding areas, Ethiopia receives enough rainfall. In winter, the country is dominated by the northeastern trade wind. This wind brings hot and dry air from the Arabian deserts. In summer (from June to September) moist air from the Congo basin and even the Gulf of Guinea penetrates here. This time is called the "big rains" season. In March - April, the wet monsoon from the Indian Ocean penetrates the Ethiopian highlands. This is the season of "little rains". Sometimes "small rains" without interruption turn into "big" ones and the wet season lasts six months. The relief has a strong influence on the distribution of precipitation. Their greatest number (up to 2000 mm per year) falls on the western slopes of the Ethiopian Highlands. On the highest plains of the highlands, precipitation is already 1000 - 1500 mm per year, and in the east of the country it is much less - only 200 - 500 mm per year.

Teacher question: I have been working in tourism business and I know that the range of interests of travelers is very diverse. Give some jeep safari on the savanna, others are interested in the rainforest, but are there large rivers and lakes in Ethiopia, because many tourists give them their preferences.

Student response: At an altitude of almost 2 km, the volcano's crater was filled with Lake Tana. From the lake flows the Blue Nile, which in the upper reaches, passing through rapids and ledges, forms majestic waterfalls.

Teacher question: The third part of Ethiopia is occupied by high plateaus, the lowest depression in Africa is also located here, endless plains stretch, then natural travel zones can be offered to the taste of the most discerning tourist. What can you tell about natural areas Ethiopia?

Student response: Ethiopia is one of the few African countries where almost all vegetation zones and landscapes are represented - from deserts to cold highlands. Vegetation is subject to variability depending on terrain elevation and slope exposure. The lower belt is kolla, up to an altitude of 1700 - 1800 m. This is almost the entire southeast of the country, large areas along the border with Sudan, as well as areas along the border with Kenya. Xerophytic woodlands grow here. Vast areas of the Ethiopian-Somali plateau, the entire southern and central part of the highland is occupied by savannas with areas of open woodland. The western tip of the Ethiopian Highlands is characterized by deciduous woodlands, where acacias, commiphora, and boswellia (incense tree) grow. The most humid areas are characterized by the densest vegetation cover. In the southwest, there are large tracts of tropical rainforest with rich and varied flora. Here grow an iron tree, a stone tree, cordia, ficuses, and the famous Arabica coffee is found in the undergrowth. The most impoverished desert flora is in the Afar depression. At present, eucalyptus groves prevail in mountainous Ethiopia. The seeds and seedlings of this fast-growing, unpretentious tree were brought from Australia in the late 19th century with the aim of quickly rebuilding the destroyed forests.

Teacher question: I would like to immediately inform the clients of the travel agency about what peoples they will have to meet in Ethiopia, tell about the national cuisine, and also what faith do the peoples of Ethiopia profess?

Student response: According to estimates for 2006, the country is home to 75 million people, more than 70 nations. Ethiopians profess Christianity and Islam, traditional beliefs continue to adhere to from 5 to 10% of the population. Ethiopian cuisine has no analogies with other regions of the world. The main food of the Abyssnians is yngzhera (a kind of pancake, sour-tasting bread made from a local cereal - teff), which they eat dipped in a sauce of flour and pepper. Oil and meat can be added to it. They eat hot meat sauces - "here", a lot of spices. Favorite drinks are barley beer (Tella), an alcoholic drink “tej” (made from honey and leaves of a bush “gesho” and, of course, coffee. Drinking coffee has acquired the character of a ritual, a special ceremony. This action can be seen in almost all restaurants and cafes in Ethiopia. An indispensable attribute of this is incense, which should be impregnated with coffee. The coffee also contains sugar, special oil and herbs.

Teacher question: Shortly before meeting you, I talked with my colleague, who asked me to give you 4 riddles in the form of the following items, the origin of which is very closely related to Ethiopia - coffee beans, wheat grains, a portrait of Pushkin and a sorghum broom.
Students' answers:

The homeland of coffee is Africa, and this aromatic drink owes its name to the Ethiopian
The province of Kafa, where wild groves of coffee trees are still preserved.

Ethiopia is the homeland of wild wheat and this country has long been called the “bread basket of the East. During the expedition of NI Vavilov, wild species of durum wheat were found here, from which many valuable cultivars were later developed.
Sorghum broom. Sorghum is the most productive cereal. In Turkmenistan, this culture is called dzhugara, in Egypt it is known as durra, in China it is called gaolian, and most peoples call it sorghum. Sorghum as a culture was born in Africa, near the equator, and then spread to other regions through ancient trade routes.

Portrait of Pushkin. Many scientists believe that the great-grandfather (on the mother's side) of A.S. Pushkin Ibrahim Petrovich Hannibal "Arap of Peter the Great" - Russian military and statesman was born in 1696 in Africa in the northern part of Ethiopia.

Teacher question: Is Ethiopia an agricultural or industrial country?

Student response: The main branch of the Ethiopian economy is agriculture. In Ethiopia, many grain crops are grown: wheat, corn, barley, as well as a small cereal with small grains - teff. In high mountains with a lack of oxygen, teff is a necessary part of the inhabitants' nutrition, since it contains a lot of iron. Ethiopia has Africa's largest livestock cattle... The peasants keep many sheep and goats. Beekeeping is well developed. And although 75% of the population is employed in agriculture, due to regular natural disasters, food in the country is not enough and the country is forced to import many food products. The country's industry is represented by mining, light (leather and leather and footwear), as well as the food industry.

Teacher question: If you have not been able to visit Ethiopia, what products of this country can you find in the markets of other countries?

Student response: Ethiopia exports to other countries mainly coffee, leather, honey and beeswax, that is, agricultural products.

Reflection:

Teacher: I think that we discussed the main points of interest to me and now I would like to hear what advice you, as specialists, can give to those who have chosen such an ancient and interesting country as Ethiopia for their trip.
The students read out the tips drawn up during the lesson to the tourist.

The teacher sums up the results, gives marks for the work in the lesson.

There is no homework.

    Ethiopian culture

    Ethiopia is perhaps the most unusual of all African states. Her contacts with ancient civilizations, the influence of Judaism and Christianity made the culture of Ethiopia special and unique. The inhabitants of the country were able to keep it practically unchanged thanks to their desperate desire to resist outside forces and destruction. None of the colonizers and conquerors managed to enslave the people of Ethiopia, and therefore its civilization has survived from ancient times.

    Lalibela stone churches

    This ancient city is located at an altitude of over 2,500 thousand meters. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that there are thirteen stone churches in Lalibela. The city bears the name of Saint Lalibela from the ruling dynasty, who built these temples in the XII century in response to the Muslim seizure of his beloved Jerusalem. The city of Lalibela is part of Ethiopia's culture, and UNESCO protects its sites along with other unique masterpieces of architecture. As in Europe, monasteries and Christian churches have served here as centers of education and cultural life. Crafts and arts flourished at the temples, icon painters worked and ancient historical books were created.

    Axum and the Ark Chapel

    According to legend, the Queen of Sheba lived in the city of Aksum, and today it has become a place of pilgrimage for millions of believers. The reason is that in the Church of the Virgin Mary of Zion, according to the Ethiopian church, there is a unique relic - the Ark of the Covenant, which kept the Tablets and the Ten Commandments. Of the obvious attractions of Aksum, one can mention its steles and obelisks, whose age reaches several millennia. The largest of them was taken to Italy in 1937 and installed in Rome in one of the squares. The example of engineering achievements of the Aksumite kingdom returned to its homeland after seventy years by the decision of the UN.

    UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Ethiopia Ethiopia has 9 titles (2013). The general World Heritage List for 2016 includes 1,052 sites. Thus, the share of Ethiopia's properties in the world is approximately 0.8%. Completed by the teacher of geography MBOU Secondary School No. 8 Ussuriysk Nagornaya Ekaterina Vladimirovna

    Ethiopia is the first Christian country and the second most populous state in Africa, one of the oldest in the world, independent from time immemorial, a country great history and endless legends.

    1. Lalibela is a city in the north of Ethiopia, famous for its Christian churches carved in stone. One of the holy places of the country, second only in importance to Aksum, the center of pilgrimage for the country's population. Unlike Axum, almost all of the inhabitants of Lalibela are Christians of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Lalibela was to become the New Jerusalem in response to the Muslim takeover of Jerusalem, which is why many of the city's historic buildings bear the name and design of Jerusalem buildings. 1978 included in the UNESCO list

    For centuries, pilgrims have made their way through mountain passes and valleys to the holy city of Lalibela. Hunger, thirst, cold accompanied them on the way, but the purpose of such travels is worth it. "New Jerusalem", as this place is called, is not accidental. The churches of Sinai and Calvary, the Sorrowful Way, the Mount of Olives, all this is on the territory of a very small town in the north of Ethiopia. Everything around is reminiscent of biblical stories. Thanks to this, pilgrims-mantis feel themselves in close proximity to the Holy Sepulcher. The local Jordan River dries up when there is no rain. And then a sacred cross appears, installed at its bottom, as if reminding that God never leaves his children ...

    Rising to a height of 2600 m above sea level, on the slope of Mount Abuna Yosef, you can see the greatest wonder of these places. A whole complex of churches is carved out of stone right in the rock. You can't see them from the road, the domes are at ground level. It seems incredible that in XII there were engineering geniuses capable of creating such fantastic structures. Everything was calculated to the centimeter, the location of the columns, inside and outside, altars, ornaments. Artesian water and drainage system, many labyrinths and various sanctuaries, where even most of the clergy still have no access, have been supplied.

    Abuna Yosef is a mountain in Ethiopia. Its height reaches 4301 m above sea level. It is located in the Amhara region, near the Ethiopian Highlands. A notable landmark on this mountain is the church

    The height of the buildings reaches 12 meters, and they have stood for at least 800 years. No evidence of this grandiose construction has yet been found. Therefore, history has been "overgrown" with myths and legends. Church of St. George in Lalibela, Ethiopia.

    The beauty of these buildings is amazing. Even more surprising is the time in which they were made. It took only 23-27 years to build them. According to ancient myths, workers worked on the structures during the day, and angels came to the rescue at night. They also say that the Templars, who came to help their fellow believers in the fight against Islam, supported the workers in the construction of the temple complex.

    Apart from all the others, the Temple of St. George is located. If you look at it from above, you can see a large cross, 12 meters wide. The height (or depth) is also 12 m. You can get to the temple only through a narrow tunnel. But the yard is very wide, believers often stop here to rest and pray.

    Until recently, it was believed that there are eleven churches in total, but about five years ago, under the rubble formed in the 16th century after the raid of Muslims, the ministers discovered another one dedicated to the local holy martyr. The fact that this is not just some big room, but the church is proved by the cross and shrines found in it.

    2. Fasil Gebbi is a fortress of the city of Gondar in the Ethiopian region of Amhara. In the XVI-XVII centuries. the fortress served as the residence of the Emperor of Ethiopia Fasilidas and his successors. The old walled city is surrounded by a 900-meter wall, behind which are palaces, churches, monasteries and unique public and private buildings. The architecture of the buildings bears the imprints of the Indian and Arabic styles. The buildings were later modified in the Baroque style, which appeared in Gondar thanks to the Jesuit missionaries. In 1979, Fassil-Gebbie was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    Gondar was founded in 1632. In 1704, an earthquake struck, which severely damaged the fortress. In the 19th century, the former residence of the kings was plundered by the Sudanese Mahdists. During the Italian occupation of East Africa, an unsuccessful restoration was made. In 1941, the buildings were used for the high command of Mussolini's army, and the fortress was damaged by British air raids. The fortress was closed to the public for 11 years, during which UNESCO carried out the restoration of the monuments. The attraction reopened in 2005.

    3. Aksum - a city in the north of Ethiopia, named after the Aksumite kingdom, a maritime and commercial power that dominated this region from about 400 BC. e. until the X century A.D. e. Medieval sources sometimes referred to this kingdom as "Ethiopia". The city is located at an altitude of 2130 meters above sea level. Aksum airport is located in the vicinity of Axum. Highly appreciating their historical value, in 1980 UNESCO included the archaeological sites of Axum in the list of world heritage sites.

    The main Aksumite monuments in the city are the steles. The largest number of them lie in the North Park of Stelae. Obelisks are of various sizes, the largest being the 33-meter-high Large Stele, which is believed to have fallen during construction. One of the tallest is the 24-meter Stele of King Ezana. Another stele, stolen by the Italian army, was returned to Ethiopia only in 2005, and as of July 2008 is in the process of being installed. Steles are believed to mark graves. On the sides they had cast metal discs with carved architectural forms. The steles are interspersed with graves mainly of the 4th century.

    The world's largest obelisk Aksum Ethiopia. The Aksum archaeological zone contains 176 steles.

    Other attractions in the city include the Church of St. Mary of Zion, built in 1665, which is said to house the Ark of the Covenant (the famous 12th century church of the same name with the same name is located nearby), archaeological and ethnographic museums. Local legend claims that the Queen of Sheba herself lived in the city.

    4. Tiya is a city in the southern part of Ethiopia with 3363 inhabitants (2005). Located in the Gurage zone of the Peoples and Peoples' region of the south, south of Addis Ababa, on the border with the Oromia region. 36 prehistoric steles have been preserved near the city. Age and origin have not been reliably established. They are very similar to the steles in Aksum, which are also found in Ethiopia, but older and taller than them. These steles have been a World Heritage Site since 1980.

    The archaeological site of Tiia consists of 36 huge stone monoliths, including 32 steles with images of swords and other mysterious signs and symbols carved on their surface, most of which have not yet been deciphered. Monoliths from 1 to 5 meters in height have different shapes - flat, cone-shaped or round. Who created these steles, for what purpose and at what time is not established. During archaeological excavations, skeletons of people who died in battle were discovered, their age varies from 18 to 30 years. Scientists suggest that the steles could have appeared in the period from the 11th to the 13th century, their most likely purpose is tombstones at the site of mass graves of soldiers who died in battle.

    To date, the most reliable version is the assumption that the swords carved on the monoliths mean either the number of people buried in this place, or the number of deaths at the hands of a warrior who found his last refuge here. While the mysterious monoliths of Tiya sacredly keep their secrets, there is hope that further research will answer the questions of who, why and when built these steles.

    5. The fortified historical city of Harar-Jugol is the fourth "holy city" for Muslims after Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem, located in Ethiopia. The city of Harar-Dzhugol is surrounded by desert and savannah, on a plateau cut by deep gorges. Fortified historical part the city is surrounded by walls built in the 13th - 16th centuries.

    From the late 16th to the 19th century, it was known as a center for trade and Islamic education. Over its long history, Harar-Jugol was an independent emirate, then occupied by Egypt, and in 1887 became part of Ethiopia. The Harari people are famous for the development of their crafts, the main of which are weaving and basket weaving. In 2006, Harar-Jugol was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

    6. Cultural landscape of Konso. The site is unique or at least exclusive to a cultural tradition or civilization that still exists or has already disappeared. The site is an outstanding example of a human traditional structure, with the traditional use of land or sea, exemplifying culture or human interaction with environment... Year of listing: 2011

    The facility covers an area of \u200b\u200b55 square kilometers in Ethiopia's Conso Highlands. Its landscape is formed by terraces supported by stone walls with fortified settlements scattered among them. It has preserved a clear example of a vibrant cultural tradition that has developed in this harsh and arid habitat for 21 generations (over 4,000 years).

    Ethiopia, officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, formerly also known as Abyssinia, is a landlocked state in East Africa. The Ethiopian Highlands have been a habitat for humans since ancient times, as evidenced by the remains of Australopithecus in the Omo Valley and the sites of the Olduvai culture in southern Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Highlands are the supposed center of the formation of the Kushite languages \u200b\u200band one of the most ancient centers of agriculture.

    Ethiopia is the highest mountainous country on the African continent. A significant part of its territory is occupied by the Ethiopian Highlands, stretching from north to south of Ethiopia. The highest part of the highland is the northern one. The highest points of the country are located here - Ras-Dashen (4620 m) and Talo (4413 m). In the east, the highland drops abruptly into the Afar depression, one of the lowest points in Africa.

    The entire territory of Ethiopia is located in the subequatorial and equatorial climatic zones. But the fact that most of the country is located in the Ethiopian Highlands explains Ethiopia's milder and wetter climate. The temperature here all year round is + 25 ... + 30 ° С and there is a sufficient amount of precipitation. The eastern regions of Ethiopia are the exact opposite - they have a hot and dry desert climate. In general, Ethiopia is not characterized by temperature changes during the year. But the difference between night and day temperatures is significant: it is about 15 degrees. Usually in Ethiopia there is practically no day when the sun does not shine, and one of the tourist mottos sounds like this: "Ethiopia is a country of 13 months of sun" (according to the Ethiopian calendar, the year is divided into 13 months).

    Flora of Ethiopia. Vegetation depends on the height above sea level - therefore, both flora typical for desert regions and alpine flora are found here. There are savannas and forest savannas, rainforests. Fauna of Ethiopia. Among the representatives of the animal world (quite rich, despite the extermination), one can name a giraffe, leopard, hippo, lion, elephant, antelope, rhinoceros, lynx, jackal, hyena, monkeys. A large number of birds live here, including the eagle, falcon, vulture, ostrich, heron, partridge, teal. Among insects, locusts and tsetse flies are especially distinguished.

    Most of the rivers in western Ethiopia belong to the Nile basin. The largest among them is Abbay or Blue Nile. The largest lake in Ethiopia, Tana, is also located here. In the east, the rivers are less full-flowing, which is associated with a more arid climate. The largest river is Jubba. Ethiopia is characterized by the presence of small lakes in the Great Rift Zone. About Zero Ethiopia - Tana Blue Nile Falls River Jubba

    The most important minerals of Ethiopia - natural gas, gold, platinum, polymetallic and rare ore elements, potash and rock salts, etc. Gold ores are the main minerals that play the greatest role in the economy of Ethiopia. About 80 deposits and ore occurrences of native gold are known. Most of the primary deposits are located in the provinces: Tigray and Eritrea, Wollega and Gojam. Platinum ore deposits are associated with the weathering crust on the Upper Proterozoic dunite massif (Yubdo deposit in Wollega province). Beryllium, tantalum and niobium ores are found in the Wollega and Sidamo provinces, and beryllium in the Harege province. The reserves of rare metal ores have not been calculated, but a preliminary geological assessment allows us to consider the territory of Ethiopia as a large rare metal province.

    Ethiopia is an underdeveloped agrarian country, where subsistence agriculture still plays the main role in the economy. Agriculture in Ethiopia is subsistence farming and employs 85% of the population. There are more favorable conditions for farming here than in other countries of the region. Mining Industry Mineral resources in Ethiopia are little developed. Gold deposits are being developed, production is about 1 ton per year. Iron ore and coal have been found, but they are not being developed yet. Manufacturing Industry The manufacturing industry is poorly developed. There are enterprises in the food industry, for the production of drinks, medicines, soap, etc. After the 1974 revolution, many large industrial enterprises were nationalized, after 1990 the state limited its role in the economy and seeks to attract foreign investment, on which the development of the manufacturing industry depends. In addition to wholesale and retail, transport and communications, the service sector consists almost entirely of tourism.

    Transport in Ethiopia Ethiopia has an extremely low level of transport infrastructure development. Most of the roads are unpaved and suitable for use only in dry seasons. There is little provision of the railway network: the country has only one railway line connecting Addis Ababa with the port of Djibouti. Air transport is more widespread: there are about 80 airports in Ethiopia, to which the national airline, Ethiopian Airlines, flies. In developing transport infrastructure, the Ethiopian government is actively cooperating with European countries: Sweden, France, Russia and many others.

    The multilayered culture of Ethiopia is based on the biblical civilization, influenced by contacts with the ancient cultures of the Middle East. At the same time, it is a very separate culture. Religions have largely determined Ethiopian culture, but none of the world religions - Judaism, Christianity, Islam - was accepted in a pure, unchanged form. Monasteries have been the main educational and cultural centers for centuries, like monasteries in Europe. Crafts and arts flourished here, utensils, icons and ancient manuscripts have been preserved. About UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Ethiopia: Fasil Gebbi Fortress (Gondar City District)

    Ethiopian cuisine is usually made from savory vegetable and meat dishes, which are superimposed on an injera - a large round sour cake about 50 cm in diameter made from teff flour. Instead of spoons and forks, pieces of yngyra are used, which come off the whole yngyra while eating. Ethiopian cuisine practically does not use pork in its dishes, and this is typical not only for Muslims who are forbidden to eat pork, but also for Christians of the Ethiopian Church who adhere to the food prohibitions of the Old Testament. In addition, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church prescribes several fasts, including on Wednesdays and Fridays, which is why Ethiopian cuisine is replete with plenty of vegetarian options. Therefore, Ethiopian restaurants are popular with vegetarians in other countries.
