In today's episode, we will visit two different corners of our planet. While these places are thousands of kilometers apart, spiritually they are more like close relatives. Our first stop is Ethiopia in East Africa. It is dissected by the Great African Rift Valley which is considered by many to be the cradle of humankind. In Ethiopia, we will also encounter a hyena herdsman. After that, we will cross the Atlantic Ocean to a country which surprisingly has a lot in common with East Africa. Rastafarians from Jamaica believe that the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie, believed to be the Black Messiah, led his people to the Promised Land - Ethiopia. Watching in awe as the Dunn's River Falls and Y. S. Falls tumble down, it feels like Jamaica could be a Paradise on earth.
