EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a breathtaking view of Aksum, the ancient and historic city located in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. Once serving as the capital city of Abyssinia, Aksum is steeped in history and cultural significance for the Ethiopian people and the African continent as a whole. The image, believed to have been captured in the 1840s, showcases the rugged rural landscape surrounding Aksum, with the monumental obelisks and stelae standing proudly against the backdrop of the rolling hills and the distant mountains. The obelisks, some of which date back to the 4th century AD, are a testament to the rich history and architectural prowess of the Aksumite civilization. The serene atmosphere of the photograph is further accentuated by the lush greenery and the clear, blue sky, which adds to the sense of tranquility and peace. The rural setting of Aksum, with its simple yet beautiful landscapes, provides a stark contrast to the grandeur and majesty of the monumental structures. Aksum's historical significance extends beyond Ethiopia, as it is believed to be the place where the Ethiopian Orthodox Church was established, making it a vital center of Christianity in Africa. The city has also been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, further highlighting its importance in world history. This photograph print is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Aksum and Ethiopia, and serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and resilience of the African continent.
