  1. 14:40 but ge'ez cant be considered the oldest , all ethiosemitic languages languages including ge'ez , modern amharic and tigrinya developed/descended from an unknown early semitic language spoken in d'mt or even before , its called protoethiosemitic by linguists and is believed to have developed in either the levant or southern arabian then crossed the redsea into Ethiopia.

  2. Additionally Ethiopians since then and till now (even the non semitic speakers) refer to them selfs as habesha its a collective identity which was never challenged by another even when religions and languages were changed.

  3. The kingdom of Saba was in yemen it expanded into Ethiopia around 1000bc but its still not Ethiopian , even inscriptions from diamat which was heavily influenced or even created by southarabians (as the name is clearly southarabian) confjrm this fact by referring to their kingdom as d'mt and referring to their neighbors as saba' , there were some mukraibs (title of the priest rulers,was commonly used in ancient Southernarabia and of course early and middle period of diamat Ethiopia) who claimed to be the high priests of both diamat and saba but they are unfounded claims as Ethiopia never had the upper hand over southern arabia before the axumite empire had emerged.

  4. Eritrea is a colonial creation, asseb and massawa didnt become significant before the "solomonic restoration" (actually wayyy later incase of assab) and there are other factors.

  5. Ethiopia and japan are pretty much the only two countries to continously exist , india fell apart a thousand times the people of Ethiopia and japan refer to themselves by the same names they did thousands of years ago , they kept their culture intact, they were always unified,... most of this doesnt apply to what we call today as india or the other countries u mentioned, it just doesn't ,no one has kept the whole of these countries united and culturally continuous as Ethiopia and japan did , dont be salty.
