Axum, Ethiopia

Travelling in Tigrai area, Ethiopia
Stelas, Axum, Ethiopia


Through a wonderful mountain region we went to Axum. In Axum the Ark of the Covenant is kept supposedly in a church. However, only the uppermost priest knows where it is- and he is supposed to tell his successor where it is hidden, before he dies....
Moreover, there are a lot of stelas in Axum, which are hundreds of years old. There is also a Swimming pool of the queen of Sheba.... Today, the local children have a bath there.
