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.
