Ancient Axum

Axum stela
Some documents of ancient time ranked Axum alongside with Rome, Persia and China as one of the best four world palace. At the time of Debre Damo was founded Axum was a huge city and was an ivory market.

Given its significance we know so little of its history. After all Axum has a considerable claim to fame.

The Ethiopians believed that they brought the arc of covenant from King Solomon of Israel but no one is allowed to see it since the arc is so holy. The security is so tight that no one can’t enter.

Ancient civilization and breath taking churches of Emperor Laliibela

Churches of Lalibela
Lalibela is a place named after emperor Lalibela where there is no other place parallel to it. The churches of Lalibela are made from the mountains of solid rock and take their shape. They are made with incredible precision and took a lot of force and skill to build those churches. The churches are very astonishing heritages of Ancient Ethiopian people.

There are 11 incredible historical churches in Lalibela. The man who made those churches was Emperor Lalibela. But according to kibre Negast or (Glory of kings, the true arc of the covenant) which was written more than after a century after the churches had been constructed, Lalibela was not a man which could not claim Solomonic dynasty he was a member of rival dynasty.
