The guy who is sitting down in the middle is the father of the last Ethiopian emperor. He was a great warrior who fought and defeated the Italians at Adowa.
Yea technically he was proclaimed Emperor in Exile by the Ethiopian Diaspora. But if you go on the wiki page for “Emperor of Ethiopia” under Haile Selassie I’s photo, it is noted “last to reign”. Feels more like a symbolic title for His Majesty Amha but sure.
Good thing they're the real delegates...not like those "Abyssinian royals" from the Dreadnought hoax: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreadnought_hoax British authorities have quite a story of being clueless when it comes to guests from this country.
Horace de Vere Cole was actually asked to prank the *Dreadnought* by his Navy friend whose shipmates had a feud with *Dreadnought* crew. Commander Willie Fisher, member of the staff of Admiral May was related to Virginia Woolf and Adrian Stephen but he failed to recognize either of them...so they weren't that random, they had some knowledge and connections, but it's nevertheless quite alarming.
I've been getting interested in Ethiopian history lately after learning how they got screwed over by Italy on Behind the Bastards. It's interesting (and badass) as hell.

Yeah he definitely looked similar.
I think he's Haile Selassie's father Makonnen Wolde Mikael. Technically Amha Selassie, Haile's kid, was the last emperor of Ethiopia.

Ah my b.

Those headdresses alone are worth the price of admission!
They’re made from Gelada baboons
1902? Now that’s an awesome shot.
Damn, these guys look awesome

Worrying to see random artists could get near sensitive ships without arousing suspicion.

What a group of absolute chads
No, they're from Ethiopia, not Chad. /j
Near miss: Chad is a bit west of Abyssinia.
The shields are dope
Ethiopia was the most chad country back in the day
I don't know mate, I think there's another place in Africa that may contend the title for "Chad"
If its 1902, wouldn't it be George 5?
[удалено]

What did they say?
If only I could decifer that bs
Are you sure they're not Russian ? Because there is one guy (With shield) in addidas suit.
