Indigenous Peoples' Day is a holiday that celebrates and honors Native American peoples and commemorates their histories and cultures. ... Indigenous People's Day was instituted in Berkeley, California, in 1992, to coincide with the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Columbus in the Americas on October 12, 1492.After Republic Act (RA) No. 10689 was passed in 2015, we now celebrate every Aug. 9 as National Indigenous Peoples Day. This day serves as a recognition not only for the contributions our indigenous brothers and sisters have given to our country, but also to remind us of their rights and collective well-being.This day is centered on both celebration and reflection: celebrating people and their heritage, culture and tribal roots as well as reflecting on tragic stories in history that hurt, but in a way strengthened the Indigenous community.

1. What was the land South of Egypt referred to by the Ancient Greeks & Romans?

kompoz [17]

Answer:

A. Ethiopia
B. Spread Judaism in Africa
B. Kingdom of Himyar

Explanation:

The southern portion, which extended north to the southern end of the second cataract of the Nile was known as Upper Nubia; this was called Kush (Cush) under the 18th-dynasty pharaohs of ancient Egypt and was called Ethiopia by the ancient Greeks.
Ezana (active early to middle 4th century) was an Ethiopian king during the Axumite period. His reign marked a turning point in Ethiopian history because Christianity became the state religion when he became the first Christian king.
Procopius, John of Ephesus, and other contemporary historians recount Kaleb's invasion of Yemen around 520, against the Himyarite king, Yusuf Asar Yathar, known as Dhu Nuwas, a Jew who was persecuting the Christian community of Najran.
