Ethiopia is a state that has created its own distinct culture. Throughout Ethiopian history, it has been culture that concentrated the nation's spiritual experience and passed it on to the following generations, thus ensuring the unity of multiethnic (more than 80 peoples) Ethiopia. A special role in this belongs to cultural policy, without which it would have been impossible to achieve higher living standards and civic unity and determine the society's development goals. Religion, namely Christianity, has played an important role in the formation of Ethiopia's system of values. Other religions of Ethiopia, such as Islam, Judaism, and traditional beliefs, have also contributed to the formation of the national cultural self-identity of the peoples of the country. The article assesses the cultural policies of the three emperors of Ethiopia - Iyasu (1682-1700), Dawid III (1716-1721), and Iyasu II (1730-1755) - and their contribution to the development of the country's culture.
