Amazing Ethiopia Portugal Bridge and Blue Nile Canyon (Portuguese Bridge) Although the Chinese are used to affectionately calling the "Egg Bridge", this bridge has nothing to do with eggs. Combined with the explanation of different local guides, the bridge's construction process is limestone, wood and ostrich egg whites, and the use of glutinous rice lime in ancient Chinese buildings is similar. Most likely because the English of the ostrich egg is Ostrich Egg, may not have touched Ostrich vocabulary, so only understand Egg, so Egg Bridge "egg bridge" this easy to understand, impressive names so unclear mouth. There is controversy over the origins of the so-called Portuguese bridge, which some say was built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, but others say was built by Das Daji (the uncle of Ethiopian Emperor Menilik II). After entering the Esse travel agency to consult the history books and other materials, although the local guide insisted that the old-time-style small stone arch bridge near the monastery of Debri Libanos was built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, it was actually built by the Ethiopians at the end of the 19th century.
