Wandering through the ruins of the Axumite Empire in present-day Axum, Ethiopia, offers a truly awe-inspiring experience. This once powerful kingdom, which flourished between the 1st and 7th centuries AD, left behind remarkable remnants of its sophisticated civilisation. Towering obelisks, or stelae, stand as silent sentinels, testaments to the Axumites’ engineering prowess and possibly their royal burials. Intricately carved stone structures, the foundations of ancient palaces and tombs, and the remnants of royal baths evoke a vivid sense of the empire’s former grandeur.
