 * According to Wikimedia Commons, the Wikimedia Foundation's position has always been that faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain, and that claims to the contrary represent an assault on the very concept of a public domain. In other words, if the photo is of a two-dimensional painting/drawing/sketch, then the photo itself holds no copyright status of its own if it faithfully reproduces the artwork.
 * According to Wikimedia Commons, old public domain photographs can be scanned and uploaded provided you are satisfied that the book publishers have not significantly modified the photograph for publication. The underlying reason for this is that modifications can go beyond the Threshold of Originality, for example by adding a novel colorization to a previous black-and-white photo. In short, the WMF holds that a scan that faithfully reproduces the photograph without original modifications holds the same copyright status as the photograph itself.
 * If the photo is of a three-dimensional work (such as a sculpture of a building), and the photo itself would not the public domain due to age (or a defect in copyright registration/copyright notice in some countries), the ability to upload the photo will vary depending on how the Freedom of Panorama laws in the country where the photograph was taken apply to a particular photograph.
 * None of this is legal advice, but I hope this helps with understanding Wikipedia's policies. —

which culminated in a victory at the battle of Faras May.

After conquering Tigray in 1831, Wube gained the submission of the lord of Merab Mellash in 1832, and after suppressing a revolt against his rule, imposed a military government throughout the Eritrean highlands in the 1840's, using a policy of divide-and-rule that set Akele Guzai against Seraye, clan against clan, the highlands against the lowlands, and left a legacy of bitter feuds that divided Eritrea for a century. His last raid was in 1850, against Senhit and Barka, in an effort to block Egyptian expansion and to seize Kunama and Bilen slaves. His power then declined, defeated by Tewodros in 1855.

Mansfield Parkyns traveled from Massawa to Adua on a route somewhat different from that taken by other European travelers and found that the first Christian villae, Kiaquor, under control of the Abyssinian dejazmach Wube, was well inside Hamasien.

Poem: The description of Major William Cornwallis Harris on the perfomance of an female Azmari in negus Sahle Selassie court. The poem song reveals the political atmoshere and prevailing attitudes of Sahle's court towards his enemies. '''In stature like the lance he bears, '''His godlike mien the prince declares; '''And famed for virtue through the land, '''All bow to Saloo's just command.

'''The sabre feels the royal grasp, '''And Pagans writhe in death's cold clasp; '''The Galla taste the captive fare, '''And dread the vengeance which they dare.

— A memorable observation by Major William Cornwallis Harris, of an female Azmari praise of king Sahle Selassie court " Misgana (translated from Amharic) praise song"

Cuisine section
Summary:

Main articles: Ethiopian cuisine & Wat (food)

The Amharas' cuisine consists of various vegetable or spicy meat side dishes and entrées, usually a wat, or thick stew, served atop injera, a large sourdough flatbread made of teff flour in the shape of pancakes usually of about 30 to 45 cm in diameter. When eating traditional injera dishes in groups, it's normally it eaten from a mesob (shared food basket), with each person breaking off pieces of injera flatbread using only the right hand, from the side nearest them and dipping it into stew in the center of the basket. There is also a great variety of vegetarian stews such as lentils, ground split peas, grains, accompanied by injera and/or bread. Amharas adhering to any of the Abrahmic religions do not eat pork or shellfish of any kind for religious reasons. Amhara Orthodox Christians do not consume meat and diary products (i.e. egg, butter, milk, and cheese) on Wednesdays and Fridays except the 50 days between Easter and Pentecost. Meat and diary products are only eaten on feasting days i.e. Christmas, Epiphany, Easter and at all other times.

Ethiopia is a big buna(coffee) exporter, but also has a very large domestic consumer base. During social gatherings Amharas drink Buna in a unique and traditional way known as a coffee ceremony. First the coffee is roasted, then ground and placed in a Jebena (coffee pot) with boiling water. When ready it is then served to people in little cups, up to three times per ceremony. The ceremony is typically performed by the woman of the household, or the female host and is considered an honor. Amhara women dress up for the occasion in a Habesha kemis, a traditionel dress. Other locally produced beverages are tella(beer) and tej(honey wine), which are served and drunk on major religious festivals, Saints Days and weddings.

Literature section
Main article: List of Amharic writers Surviving Amharic literary works dates back to the 14th century, when songs and poems were composed. In the 17th century Amharic became the first African language to be translated into Latin when Ethiopian priest and lexicographer Abba Gorgoryos(1595–1658) made a European voyage to Thuringia in Germany in 1652 AD. Gorgoryos along with his colleague and friend Hiob Ludolf co-authored the earliest grammar book of the Amharic language, an Amharic-Latin dictionary and as well as contributing to Ludolf's book "A History of Ethiopia". History of modern literature in Amharic hoewever started two centuries later than in Europe, with the first Amharic fiction Novel Ləbb Wälläd Tarik, published in Rome in 1908, widely considered the first novel in Amharic, by Afäwarq Gäbrä Iyäsus. '' Since then countless of literature in Amharic was published, and many modern writers in Amharic translate their work into English for commercial considerations.

Music section
Main article: List of musicians using Amharic vocals Summary:

Up until the mid 20th century, Amharic music consisted mainly of religious and secular folk songs and dances. Qañat Amhara secular folk music developed in the countryside through the use of traditionel instruments such as the masenqo, a one-string bowed lute; the krar, a six-string lyre; and the washint flute played by the local village musicians called the Azmaris, and the peasantry dancing the Eskista; the most well known Amharan folk dance. The begena, a large ten-string lyre; is an important instrument solely devoted to the spiritual part of Amhara music. Other instruments includes the Meleket wind instrument, and the Kebero and Negarit drums.

From the 1950's onward foreign influence i.e foreign educated Ethiopians and the availability of larger quantities of new instruments led to new genre's of Amharic music and ushered in the 1960's and 1970's Golden age of Ethiopian music. The popular Ethio-Jazz genre pioneered by Mulatu Astatke was created from the Tizita qañat of the Amhara combined with the use of Western instruments. Saxophone legend Getatchew Mekurya instrumentalized the Amhara war cry Shellela into an genre in the 1950's before joining the Ethio-Jazz scene later in his career. Other Amharic artists from the Golden age such as Asnaketch Worku, Bahru Kegne, Kassa Tessema and Mary Armede were renowned for their mastery of traditionel instruments.

The political turmoil during the Derg regime (1974-1991) led to censorship of music; night life came to a standstill through government imposed curfews and the curbing of musical performances. Notable Ethiopian musicians were jailed including those of Amhara descent such as Ayalew Mesfin and Telela Kebede. A revival of Qene; Amharic poetic songs which uses double entendre known as sam-enna warq (‘‘wax and gold’’) was used for subversive dialogue and resistance to state censorship. Thousands of Ethiopians including musicians migrated during this period to form communities in different countries.

Amharic songs of resistance against the autocratic EPRDF regime led by the TPLF (1991-2018) continued; with prevailing themes being rampant corruption, economic favoritism, excessive emphasis on ethnic identity and its ability to undermine national unity. Amharic musicians; such as Getish Mamo, Nhatty Man, Teddy Afro and others turned to the old tradition of sam-enna warq and used layered expression to evade skirt stringent censorship and oppresive laws (such as the anti-terror law) while reminding the people of their similarities and the importance of maintaining solidarity.
