DESCRIPTION:The "Ethiopian sub-group"\, together with a tag-along Ethio-Ar
 menian affiliate\, of the JewsEast project set out for a three week field 
 trip to search for the monastic remains of the Beta Israel\, the Jews of E
 thiopia\, as well as some tangible traces of medieval Ethiopian-Armenian r
 elations. In order to reach the sacred valleys of the Beta Israel we climb
 ed from the highest mountains of Ethiopia\, down into low and hot valleys\
 , hiked for hours through the burning sun\, and camped out under the full 
 moon. The Ethio-Armenian portion had some surprising revelations about Arm
 enians in Ethiopian and their role in Ethiopian society.\n\nIn this inform
 al talk we want to show some impressions from our trip\, with a focus on t
 he adventures we had\, the people we met\, the food we ate and the impress
 ive landscape we crossed. The presentation is based on findings of the Jew
 sEast team.\n\n\n
