many ancient greek texts place Ethiopia in a multitude of locations and some Romans even firmly place it in Palestine or even Phoenicia, and the greek mythology/ historical communitees have used these to deeply overcorrect. Like, Ethiopia is still most likaly the Kushites, lmao guys like homer and Herodotus live like right after they took over egypt 😭 also the crazy amount of art obviously like then its just assuming they interacted with sub-Saharan Africans and then just… never made a name for them.
