Additional information for your students, according to Ethiopian traditional teaching there are 103 named diamonds, and diamond related names, compounds aroud diamond, and there are over 100 named aromatic materials. I think you can extend the construction of the Ethiopian Periodic table beyond fun. There is something called ethnoscience. Perhaps we can organize Nottingham to begin such research.

Thank you for doing Ethiopian Periodic Table.
I am afraid there is a little more than to the story that you presented in your youTube. We don't know does not really mean that there is zero indigenous knowledge. I will develop this site with your help
