Ethiopian bible is the oldest and most complete bible on earth.
They were written on goat skin in the early Ethiopian language of Ge’ez. It is also World’s first illustrated Christian Bible. How come no one talks about the Ethiopian Bible that has all the original scrolls in it?
The Ethiopian bible dating analysis dated Garima 2 to be written around 390-570, and Garima 1 from 530-660. During the Italian invasion fire was set in the monastery in the 1930s to destroy the monastery’s church nevertheless the Bible survive.
The original Christianity of Egypt was established by the apostle Mark in AD 42 in Ethiopia (Coptic Church--Coptic Orthodox Christianity) where it spread to Europe and some part of Asia. Today We have been told Christianity came from Rome.
The Catholic Church begin with the teachings of Yeshua (Yehōshu'a) who lived in the 1st century CE in the province of Judea of the Roman Empire.
Meanwhile by AD 313, the Roman Empire Catholic Church faced persecution and christianity was not openly practice, the Coptic Orthodox Christianity was flourishing in the Aksumite Empire now in Ethiopia.
For early Christians, the risk of persecution from the Romans sometimes ran high, forcing them to practice their beliefs in private, posing a challenge for those scholars who study this era.
The King James Version Bible New Testament which is said to be translated from Greek, and the Old Testament from Hebrew and Aramaic, and the Apocrypha from Greek and Latin, All were originally translated from the Ethiopian bible. original Greek Bible was written around AD 1500.
It is also known that Ancient Afrikans of Old Egypt (Kemet) studied this bible in their temple which was known as the "The Book of the Coming Forth by Day and Night". The original Bible was produced by Black Afrikans approximately 3,400 years.
Before the Old Testament and more than 4,200 years before the New Testament, and countless versions of it have been written and published. Different scholars also translated the bible to their local languages during their studies in Kemet.
Till date most European languages even the Current Hebrew language can't give a direct meaning to all biblical names in the Bible on any translated version as most of the names are of African tribal derivatives.
"The reason you don't hear about the Aramaic or Syriac versions or Ethiopian is that people WANT the paganized versions which the Greek translated, not the Truth and anything that might contradict today's paganized English version based on the paganized Greek version"... Mini

Being ashamed of one's body began with the teachings of Christianity and the colonial school system, life styles, introduction of sex through media, Hollywood and such.
It was ok for women to walk around the village half-naked without arousing men because men's conscience on sexuality was not yet corrupted. There was no shame in publicly viewing body parts. This can also be seen in ancient Kemet where Isis, Akhenaten can be seen half-naked.

"AFRICAN NAIVETY BEGAN IN ANCIENT TIMES"
-Prof. John Henrik Clark

'Never make a stranger suffer and whatever else you may do to a stranger, do not kill him... For he knows not the laws by which you live' -Oba Ewuare of the Benin Empire, 1470 CE.
#Africa
There was always the error among Africans that other peoples around the world share the same values with them. According to Historian, Prof. John Henrik Clark, "the African would feed a stranger before he thinks of the children's meal..." It was cultural.
"For if you are humane and another human being comes into your house, you invite him to dinner..." You offer him a meal and rest. This was the cultural predisposition that the Portuguese met in African when they arrived in 1485.
