Why do Amharas claim Aksum?

[Mohamedamiin120]

By the way they were talking about the Kingdom, I assumed it was located firmly in the Amhara region or at-least was genetically Amharic. Digging a little bit deeper I now realize it was a solely Tigray/Eritrea enterprise lmfao.

How have I been decieved so long? The Amharic agenda is really strong I will give them that- convincing the world that this was their Kingdom is a feat unmatched.

Aksum had 1 dynasty the whole time, also how can they be proto-amhara if the last king of the country tried to conquer the region where Amharas live and convert them to Christianity.

Doesn't Tigre have a 71% lexical similarity to Ge'ez, followed by Tigrinya with 68%, and then Amharic at 62%?

Assuming the Ethio-Semites did not intentionally fill their languages with Ge'ez words to look cool it seems that Ge'ez is the father of these languages.
