Angot

Angot (Amharic: አንጎት, translated as "Neck," possibly referring to the province geography) was a historical region in northern Ethiopia. It was bordered on the west by Bugna and the Afar lowlands to the east and southeast, Ambassel to the southwest and Tigray to the north. Portuguese explorer Francisco Álvares wrote that the boundary between Angot and Tigray was the Sabalete River which is the modern Ala River.
