Angot

Angot (Amharic: አንጎት transliterated as "Neck" possibly referring to the provinces geography) was an Ethiopian Amhara province of medieval times. It was bordered on the west by Bugna and the Afar lowlands to the east and southeast, Ambassel to the southwest and Lasta to the north. 
Imperial capital.
Emperor Dil Na'od relocated the capital to Ku'bar (probably modern Hayq) on the shore of Lake Hayq, south of Angot in ancient Bete Amhara province, and built the Istifanos Monastery. Aksum by that time was no longer the center of the Christian kingdom, and was instead a frontier town, threatened from the west and south by the Falash people or "Beta Israel" and from the north by invading Beja tribes. Angot was a much more defensible position, a decision that proved wise when Beta Israel captured Aksum during Queen Gudit's invasion. Ethiopian Solomonic Kings, including those in Ambasel mountain prison, were known as Bete Israel for centuries.
Ku'bar remained the capital until the Zagwe dynasty rose to power and moved the capital to Adefa (now known as Lalibela) in their home region of Bugna. Still, there is a small village of Christian Amhara community (as it was in ancient times) called Zobel Angot in western Yejju. Towns such as Maychew, Mehoni, Alamata, Angot Robit, Woldea, Mersa are todays descandants of the Abysinnian Angot people now known as Raya Rayuma. The Angot Raya Cultural Attire has also spread north to Ambalage and Wejerat shaping the culture of Endertan Tigrays now identify as Raya Tigrays
End.
Angot was on the front line between Abyssinia and the Afar lowlands, and after the war, it was occupied by the Yejju Oromo and the territory became known as Yejju province. After 1941, it became part of Wollo Province and is now the eastern half of North Wollo Zone.
