In the former Ethiopian kingdom of Aksum, the remains of a 2,000 year old sleeping woman was found. The woman has been named ‘sleeping beauty’.

Scientists have found the fossil of a 4.4 million year old horse in the fossil fields of Ethiopia. They discovered the first pieces of an extinct species of horse which they say was about the size of a small zebra. Ethiopia today, is dry, but 4.4 million years ago it would have been covered in grasslands and woods.
