I mean in what sense do you mean ? Ofc the beden isn't the first boat int the world ?
But if your talking about this boat being used on this side of the Indian Ocean. Then I think its a pretty strong piece of evidence. This is also without getting into rhe fact that punt likley also had boats.

What’s your evidence that Egyptian Coptics built the Ethiopian church?
Nah thr mali empire did actually build that mosque. The middle niger region where the mali empire sprung up has urbanism dating back to the 2dn century b.c
Look at these terracotta sculptures that date between the 12-15th century.
That mosque was built by an arab from Granada in Andalusia, Abu Ishaq, he greatly influenced this sahelian architectural style but they cope and downplay his works
His descendants still lived in mali a few centuries ago
? I literally don’t know where you got ur information from and why you’d even try discrediting this especially for the Ethiopians when they documented their whole history…. Even the cadaans admit it’s Ethiopian architecture…. Don’t be stupid
The Ethiopian kings were naked and lived in hut capitals this is well known
As for the church, during the reign of King Lalibela, Egyptian Copts fled perscution in Egypt to Ethiopia https://www.jstor.org/stable/23868228
The Egyptians introduced many new skills that Ethiopian society lacked
In the 16th century, Francisco Alvarez interviewed some locals; they said it was built by "Gibetes", even the most ignorant commoners knew of the foreign origin of these infrastructures
R. Sauter explains how these Gibetes are Egyptians
Job Ludolf personally interviewed the Amhara Monk Abba Gorgoryos, the monk told him that it was Egyptian architects who served under Lalibela which built the structures
Manuel De Almeida, a Jesuit who served under Ethiopian king Susenyos also says that Egyptian architects built it
After some digging and examination, archeologists concluded the churches show strong signs of Middle-eastern Christian architecture, they specifically identified East-Syriac Christian architecture https://books.google.com/books?id=a...F6BAgMEAM#v=onepage&q=Syrian Lalibela&f=false

"Some decorations reveal a Coptic influence"
https://books.google.com/books?id=iK5-EAAAQBAJ&pg=PT186&dq=lalibela+copts&hl=fr&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwixgdq8z-OEAxUF9AIHHc5UBSs4FBDoAXoECAwQAg#v=onepage&q=lalibela%20copts&f=false
Even till this day Coptic priests make up a large part of the population of the village of Lalibela where the Coptic churches are located https://books.google.com/books?id=R_EhAQAAMAAJ&q=lalibela+copts&dq=lalibela+copts&hl=fr&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiM3vLu0OOEAxXyhv0HHYPtC9E4HhDoAXoECAcQAg
Archeologist Aziz Atiya believes that Lalibela resembles christian temples in Egypt even comparing it to churches in the middle east, this coincides perfectly with what archeologists concluded in what i sent above https://books.google.com/books?id=19iwEAAAQBAJ&pg=PT117&dq=lalibela+copts&hl=fr&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj1qrXM0eOEAxXqg_0HHfr9C8M4KBDoAXoECAoQAg#v=onepage&q=lalibela%20copts&f=false
An archeological study conducted by Michael Gervers reveals that the specific style of rock-cut churches in lalibela is not native and ressembles closely other similar Chritian Coptic architecture in Egypt. Therefore, he finally concluded that the tradition of rock churches emerged as a result of a close relation of the Coptic Church of Egypt and Ethiopia https://www.academia.edu/96980429/ADDIS_ABABA_UNIVERSITY_SCHOOL_OF_GRADUATE_STUDIES
The Coptic Architectural style being the most blatant and common, it is reflected trough many aspects of the churches. L. Findlay states that they resemble the smaller figures carved in wood in the Coptic churches of Cairo, he adds that the ecclesiastical relations existing between Christians from Ethiopia and the Patriarchate of Alexandria would be enough to make it a very natural a decorative exchange. https://www.persee.fr/doc/ethio_0066-2127_1963_num_5_1_1336
This foreign architectural influence is even mentioned by modern day architects who restored and worked on Ethiopian churches. Derek Matthews, the architect who restored the church of Debra-Damo, showed that the geometric patterns and numerous combinations of crosses so characteristic of the arches and panels sculpted, at Debra-Damo as elsewhere, are found in Coptic art, either in stone (5th-6th century), or wood (8th-9th century). In addition, the meanders adorning some panels are present in some Coptic fabrics from the 5th-9th centuries. However, D. Matthews cautiously notes that these motifs are difficult to date, because they were used for a very long time as some of these ornaments were already present in the time of the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
In 1882 a French explorer in Ethiopia was given a manuscript at Lalibela, the manuscript said that the church was built by God himself which is obviously a fantastical legendary tale of the building of the churches, but the manuscript also says that King Lalibela of the Zagwe dynasty and his wife Meskal Kabra called upon 500 workers from Alexandria in Egypt, they were headed by a man called Sidi-Meskal which Raffray belives to be most likely Egyptian obviously. Thus Raffray in 1882 was the first one to come to the conclusion that the Lalibela churches was not the work of 'native abyssinians'. https://data.bnf.fr/temp-work/5a43a5793ef456dbcdba9061daf1557c/
Just trust me, I have no business in lying I just dont post sources because as you can see in the previous messages the website removes pictures when you post @caanoshaah @Cisse78
What about Aksum/Axum, who built everything there? Because the lalibela churches were supposedly influenced by Aksum architecture as well
