The Garima Gospels, also known as the Ethiopian Bible, are believed to be the oldest illustrated Christian Bible in existence.
Written on goat skin parchment in the early 5th century CE, these extraordinary manuscripts have been preserved for nearly 1,600 years at the Garima Monastery near Adwa in Ethiopia’s Tigray region.
According to tradition, the Gospels were copied in just one day by a monk named Abba Garima, who was said to have received divine help to complete the monumental task. The books are renowned for their stunning, vibrant illustrations and remarkable state of preservation.
The Ethiopian Heritage Fund has played a key role in recent conservation efforts to protect this priceless religious and cultural treasure.
Today, the Garima Gospels stand as one of Ethiopia’s greatest historical treasures and offer a rare window into the early history of Christianity in Africa.

@SportsCenter I don't think teams tighten things up in the playoffs; tbh I think they play nervous and lot shitier then regular season. Goes for football too.
Nuclear power capacity from 1980 to 2025.
• 🇺🇸 USA dominates from the start and stays #1 the entire race (~97–101 GW), but nearly flat since 1990
• 🇫🇷 France rockets from 13 GW in 1980 to 63 GW by 1990, the fastest nuclear buildout in history, then flatlines
• 🇩🇪 Germany peaks at ~22 GW then steadily dismantles, hitting zero in April 2023, a dramatic collapse
• 🇯🇵 Japan climbs to 47 GW, then crashes near zero after Fukushima (2011), with slow partial recovery
• 🇨🇳 China is invisible until 1994, then accelerates relentlessly, 57 reactors commissioned since 1991, closing in on France by 2025
