> Alvarado developed a plan to outfit an armada that would sail from the western coast of Mexico to China and the Spice Islands. At great cost, he assembled and equipped 13 ships and approximately 550 soldiers for the expedition. The fleet was about to set sail in 1541 when Alvarado received a letter from Cristóbal de Oñate, pleading for help against hostile Indians who were besieging him at Nochistlán.
> The siege was part of a major revolt by the Mixtón natives of the Nueva Galicia region of Mexico. Alvarado gathered his troops and went to help Oñate. In a freak accident, he was crushed by a horse that was spooked and ran amok. Alvarado lay in agony before eventually dying a few days later, on July 4, 1541, and was buried in the church at Tiripetío, a village between Pátzcuaro and Morelia (in present-day Michoacán).
> Four decades after Alvarado's death, his mestiza daughter Leonor de Alvarado Xicoténcatl paid to transport his remains to Guatemala for reburial in the cathedral of the city of Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala, now Antigua Guatemala.

I tried looking up images of old Ethiopian cities or ruins and only thing that pops up are Lalibela church and a Gondar castles that were built in 1600s with Portuguese help using Indian masonry. Are there no archaeological sites of Ethiopian cities in antiquity especially since they are considered an empire /kingdom


Did they not have cities

Archaeological and historical evidence tells us that the Monastery of St Anthony, in Egypt, is the oldest church building in the world, so that means that the Coptic Orthodox Church is literally in possession of the world's oldest church building. Therefore, why do people dispute the idea of which the oldest church was when we all know that the Patriarch of Alexandria has the best claim to the title of TRVE SVCCESSOR TO ST PETER?
