📜 The Oldest Bible on Earth Was Written on Goat Skin

Long before printing presses, before leather-bound covers and gilded pages…
There was this.

An ancient Ethiopian Bible, handwritten on delicate sheets of goat skin nearly 1,600 years ago. 🐐✍️

Crafted in the early 5th century, it’s believed to be the oldest and most complete illustrated Christian Bible in existence.

Its ink has faded, its edges worn by time — but the stories remain. Vivid. Sacred. Alive.

Unlike European manuscripts of the same era, this one speaks in Ge'ez, the ancient liturgical language of Ethiopia. It reflects a Christianity untouched by Rome — shaped instead by African heritage, desert faith, and enduring devotion. 🌍⛪

Every page is a reminder that Christianity didn’t begin in Europe.
It took root in many corners of the world — and in Ethiopia, it bloomed with color, courage, and quiet brilliance.

Not just a book.
A living memory.
A testament.
A treasure.
