Axum
An ancient capital of Ethiopia, Axum boasts of an extremely rich culture of civilization, symbolized by the remaining sites and treasures, most of which were constructed using concrete. The Axumite Empire (1st C BC – 9th C AD) was one of the four great empires of the world- it had great control over trade routes of the Read Sea and Indian Ocean; an economically, politically, and socially stable state stretching from Saudi Arabia to Central and Southern Africa.

Christianity, coin mintage, a special language and a special alphabet are other reflections of Axum’s early civilization. Great sites to visit in Axum include: the great Steles, the earliest church in Africa, ancient underground tombs, and the ruins of the palace of the queen of Sheba..
