46. Ethiopia
In the time of the Crusades, the Ethiopian Highlands overlooking the Horn of Africa were confused in the medieval Western imagination with the mythical kingdom of Prester John. In fact Ethiopia embraces many different lands just as its landscapes are grandiose in their diversity. The people speak Semitic, Cushitic and Omotic languages and practise Christian, Jewish and Muslim religions as well as vernacular ancestor cults.
