It's a fortress (probably built by arab traders) that was abandoned and fell to ruins. Local blacks then proceeded to build their typical huts near it.

Anyway, although Ethiopia was more advanced than the rest of black Africa and had some monuments, the average settlement in Ethiopia before the 20th century was a village of huts.
The average black African prior to colonization (in the late 19th century) lived in a neolithic straw hut. No amount of cherrypicking and denial will change this fact.
