The Zagwe Dynasty: Ethiopia's Forgotten Independence Movement

The Zagwe Dynasty: How Ethiopia Broke from Egypt’s Church Control
In this powerful installment of King Cam's Ujumbe Podcast, we explore Chapter 3 of The Ethiopians: A History by Richard Pankhurst — uncovering how the Zagwe Dynasty guided Ethiopia toward spiritual and political independence from Egyptian church authority.

🔥 From the bold leadership of King Yemrahana Krestos to the spiritual reforms that laid the foundation for the Solomonic Restoration, we dive into royal chronicles, law codes, and more.  Discover how kings, priests, and sacred texts shaped a uniquely Ethiopian path to sovereignty.
