Bete Amhara (Amharic: ቤተ አማራ) was a region in Ethiopia that existed for centuries. It covered most of modern Ethiopia’s south and north Wollo, significant parts of north Shewa, Gojam and Gonder zones. The state had 30 districts, including Ambassel, Melka, Laikikolta, Tatakoyeta, Akamba, Anbasit, Atronsa Mariam, Genete Giorgis, Feresbahir (most probably located in the northern part of Dessie, where there is a small lake called Feres Bahir or Bahir Shasho), Amba Gishen, Gishe Bere, Wasal, Wagada, Mecana-Selassie, Tabor, Tedbaba Mariam, Zoramba, Daje, Demah, Ephrata and Ewarza.[1][2] The people of the region were civilized, so they taught and shared their clothing, culture, eating culture, language, education system, and other cultures to the rest of Abyssinia.[3]
