About Tarik

Preserving Ethiopia's Story

Tarik (ታሪክ - "History" in Amharic) aims to be the one-stop digital platform for all things Ethiopian. A comprehensive, community-driven archive that preserves, organizes, and makes accessible Ethiopia's rich history, culture, legal traditions, and heritage.

The Fetha Negest (Law of the Kings) serves as our cornerstone, representing the intersection of Ethiopia's legal, religious, and social history. From this foundation, we expand to encompass all aspects of Ethiopian civilization.
