Axum, the ancient East African city steeped in history and culture, comes to life through captivating illustrations. In the foreground, people skillfully work with marble, showcasing their craftsmanship and dedication. The conical grass huts stand as a testament to the traditional way of life that has thrived here for centuries. As we gaze towards the background, our eyes are drawn to the majestic royal palace, a symbol of power and grandeur. In this vibrant city, religion holds great significance. An Orthodox Christian Priest stands tall in Ethiopia's Axum, possibly within its sacred grounds. A procession takes place during the Christian festival of Rameaux, filling Axum's streets with joyous celebration and deep spiritual devotion. The town is not only known for its religious fervor but also for its skilled artisans. A blacksmith passionately works at his craft, shaping metal into beautiful creations that reflect both tradition and innovation. As we explore further into Axum's rich heritage, we encounter intriguing historical sites such as the Stelae Field – an awe-inspiring collection of towering stone obelisks that have stood proudly for centuries. Sabean inscriptions adorn these ancient structures alongside Ge'ez script on top slabs found within Abuna Aftse Church in Yeha. Ezana Stone reveals Old inscriptions from the Kingdom of Aksum – a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era filled with tales of conquests and triumphs. This artifact serves as a tangible link between past civilizations and present-day wonderment. Queen Sheba's Palace (Dungur) stands regally amidst Axum's landscape – an architectural marvel echoing stories from legendary times when this queen ruled over lands far beyond her kingdom's borders. Pilgrims flock to St Mary of Zion new church built by Haile Selassie in the 1960s seeking solace and divine connection at its doors while immersing themselves in the rich history that surrounds them.
