Christian monasticism in Ethiopia
Christian monasticism has been practiced in Ethiopia since the Aksumite era in the 6th century AD. The Nine Saints, who came from the Byzantine Empire, played a crucial role in the development of monasticism in Ethiopia, which continued to grow during the Zagwe and Solomonic periods.

Debre Libanos and Debre Damo are among the best-known monasteries in Ethiopia. Monasteries in Ethiopia often bear the titles Debre ("mountain") and Gedam ("monastery"). As in Debre Tabor or 'Debre Markios' in Ethiopia.

Nine Saints
The Nine Saints were a group of missionaries who were important in the initial growth of Christianity in what is now Ethiopia during the late 5th century. The names of the Nine Saints are:

Abba Aftse

Abba Alef

Abba Aragawi

Abba Garima (Isaac or Yeshaq)

Abba Guba

Abba Liqanos

Abba Pantelewon

Abba Tsahma

Abba Yem'ata

Rugare Rukuni and Erna Oliver identify the Nine Saints as Jewish Christians, and attribute the Judaic character of Ethiopian Christianity, in part, to their influence.: 6, 8

Northern Thailand
Northern Thailand, or more specifically Lan Na, is a region of Thailand. It is geographically characterized by several mountain ranges, which continue from the Shan Hills in neighboring Myanmar to Laos, and the river valleys that cut through them.

Historically, northern Thailand has been linked to the Hariphunchai Kingdom, which emerged as a powerful state in the region in the 7th century. This kingdom was related to the Dvaravati that existed from the 6th to 11th centuries.

The GMC Sprint, renamed to the GMC Caballero in the 1978 model year, is a coupé utility / pickup truck produced by GMC from 1971 to 1987.

The rear-wheel-drive car-based pickups were sold by GMC Truck dealers primarily in the United States and Canada as the GMC version of the Chevrolet El Camino.

The vehicles were built on the General Motors A platform through 1981; for 1982, it was re-designated the G platform as the A platform switched to front-wheel drive.

Ford Ranchero
The Ford Ranchero is a coupe utility that was produced by Ford between 1957 and 1979.

A total of 508,355 units were produced during the model's production run. Over its lifespan it was variously derived from full-sized, compact, and intermediate automobiles sold by Ford for the North American market.

During the 1970s, the Ranchero name was used in the South African market for a rebadged Australian Ford Falcon utility. Shipped from Australia in complete knock down (CKD) form, these vehicles were assembled in South Africa at Ford's plant in Port Elizabeth. In Argentina, a utility version of the locally produced Ford Falcon was also called Ranchero.

The original Ranchero sold well enough to spawn a competitor from General Motors in 1959, the Chevrolet El Camino.

Méliès himself stars as Alcofrisbas; the woman whose head appears in closeup, sometimes misidentified as Jehanne d'Alcy, is unknown.
