ባለን እንወቅበት

Balen Enweqebet (ባለን እንወቅበት — translating to "Let Us Know What We Possess") is a seminal cultural study written by the prominent agriculturalist, writer, and imperial Crown Advisor Mahteme Selassie Wolde Meskel. Originally compiled as a comprehensive academic paper to safeguard local heritage, the text functions as an anthropological survey documenting traditional Ethiopian customs, societal etiquette, material tools, and domestic resources. True to the author's lifelong dedication to national preservation, the book urges modern generations to study, evaluate, and deeply appreciate their indigenous cultural wealth rather than overlooking it for foreign frameworks.
