Ethiopia
The text claims the Ethiopian Bible is the oldest and most complete Bible, written on goat skin in Ge'ez, and the first illustrated Christian Bible.
The claims about the Ethiopian Bible vary in evidential support. The assertion that it is the oldest and most complete Bible finds moderate support but lacks strong authoritative verification. The claim that it is written on goat skin is backed by multiple sources, although primarily of medium reliability. The use of Ge'ez is well-documented, aligning it with historical accounts. The claim of it being the first illustrated Christian Bible is not strongly supported by the evidence, despite the existence of ancient illustrated Ethiopian texts.

Mostly True
historical
The Ethiopian Bible is the oldest, most complete and original Bible on earth.
While some sources claim the Ethiopian Bible is the oldest and most complete Bible, this lacks broad authoritative support. The language and number of books are unique but do not definitively make it the oldest. The evidence does not conclusively establish its precedence over other ancient Bibles.

The Ethiopian Bible is the world’s first illustrated Christian Bible.
While the Ethiopian Bible includes illustrated texts like the Garima Gospels, other illustrated Bibles exist, which complicates the claim. Additional authoritative evidence is required to support the assertion of being the very first.
