Sayint (Amharic: ሣይንት), or Amhara Sayint (Amharic: አማራ ሣይንት), is a woreda in Amhara Region, Ethiopia. It is named after the historical district of Amhara Sayint which was located in the same area. Part of the South Wollo Zone, Sayint is bordered on the south by Debre Sina and Mehal Sayint, on the west by the Blue Nile that separates it from the East Gojjam Zone, on the northwest by the Bashilo River that separates it from the South Gondar Zone, on the north by Magdala, on the east by Tenta and on the southeast by Legambo. The major town in Amhara Sayint is Ajibar. Mehal Sayint was created by separating it from the historic Amhara Sayint woreda.
The altitude of this district ranges from 500 metres (1,600 ft) above sea level at the bottom of the canyon of the Abay to 4,247 metres (13,934 ft); the highest point in this district, as well as in the South Wollo Zone, is Mount Tabor, which lies on the border with Legambo. The Abay is crossable at Daga ford, which connects this woreda with Enbise Sar Midir in Misraq Gojjam. Notable landmarks include the monastery of Tadbaba Maryam, which was founded during the reign of emperor Minilik I. Holding the tabot of Tadbaba Mariam, Emperor Gelawdewos defeated the Imam Ahmad Gragn in the Battle of Wayna Daga, near Dembiya woreda in Begemdir.[3] According to Hormuzd Rassam, Tewodros II's mother, Atitegeb Wondbewossen, was a native of Amhara Sayint.[4]
