The Ezana Stone Inscription
This is the Text on the Ezana Stone in Geez, Pseudo-Sabaic and Greek.
Ezana was a king (Negusä Nägäst) of Axum (approximately today's North Ethiopia and Eritrea) in the 4th century. He was the first Axumite ruler to embrace Christianity but this inscription is from the pagan era as Ezana calls himself son of the deity Mahrem (the Greek text translates Mahrem as Ares) and the Christian God is not mentioned.
The first part I read out is the Geez part, which was the easiest to me although it contained some difficulties. First of all it is written in unvocalized Fidäl (Geez script). Some time later the Fidäl was transformed into a syllable script but this text is purely consonantal just like the South Arabian script the Fidäl was derived from.
Besides that the Geez in this text is a bit different from the Geez I learned so far. It might contain dialectal influences that were banned from Literary Geez later. And it contains mistakes.
One interesting fact about the Geez text on the stone is that it looks like it was an unplanned addition since it is written whereever there was space left.
Together with the Fidäl I'll also display the transliteration (without vowels). The way I vocalized it might not be 100% correct. I didn't find any suggestions on the vocalization in literature, so I did it myself (the hardest part of making this video).
The second part of the Video is in Pseudo-Sabaic. Actually it is just Geez and it is the same text. But the Geez here was written in Old South Arabian letters. Many words received a suffixed -m (which served as the absolute state ending in Sabaic... just like Akkadian Mimation in /sharrum/ 'the king, a king' or Arabic Nunation/Tanween in /malikun/ 'a king') but in this Pseudo-Sabaic text it is used hypercorrectly on words where it shouldn't be.
Besides that the Pseudo-Sabaic text has some minor alternations, e.g. mlk instead of negus, that make it look more Sabaic. I don't know if this was actually meant to be read out or if it was just meant to look good. Maybe the writer couldn't speak Sabaic and just knew the letters? Or perhaps he wanted to make it intelligible to non-Sabaic speakers?
That text also lacks the numerals.
The third part is the Greek part of the inscription. I don't read it out because I can't speak Greek so I wouldn't be able to read it out correctly with the right intonation and so on. Again it is mostly the same content as the Geez text.

Archaeologist unearth this stone structure, which is believed to be used as a stone pillar for King Ezana’s tomb, has an ancient inscription in several languages stating that King Ezana is the first Christian king of Ethiopia.
Axum Ethiopia, A Great African Christian Civilization, Kingdom of Aksum, Aksumite Empire
The Kingdom of Aksum, the Aksumite Empire existed in northern Ethiopia and Eritrea, from 100 AD to 940AD. The Aksumites, with Axum at its heart, minted their own currency and traded with the world. This African civilization erected a number of great stele recording their history and impact. Under King Ezana Aksum adopted Christianity. The Kingdom used the name Ethiopia as early as the 4th century and holds claims to possess the original Ark of the Covenant brought by the Queen of Sheba and her son, the son of Solomon.

Two More Inscriptions by Ezana (v 2.0)
#### Uploaded it again, this time with the correct aspect ratio. ####
These are 2 inscriptions by the famous Axumite king Ezana (4th century CE).
Both depict campaigns against different peoples in Africa. A notable difference is that the first inscription is from the pagan era - note the different deities that are mentioned - the second one is from the time after Ezana embraced Christianity - note how the Lord of the Heavens and the Lord of the Land are mentioned which are names for God (እግዚአብሔር Lord of the Land has later survived as the name of God in Ethiopia).
A small difference in pronunciation as compared to my other Geez videos is that in this video I pronounce the laterals (ሠ and ፀ) as real laterals. ;)

Ethiopia Axum (Aksum 1) Part 14

See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Axum or Aksum is a city in northern Ethiopia. The town has a population of 56,500 residents (2010), and is governed as an urban wäräda.
The original capital of the Kingdom of Aksum, it is one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in Africa. Axum was a naval and trading power that ruled the region from about 400 BC into the 10th century. In 1980 UNESCO added Aksum's archaeological sites to its list of World Heritage Sites due to their historic value.
Located in the Mehakelegnaw Zone of the Tigray Region near the base of the Adwa mountains, Axum has an elevation of 2,131 metres (6,991 ft). Axum is surrounded by La'ilay Maychew wäräda.
The major Aksumite monuments in the town are stelae. These obelisks are around 1,700 years old and have become a symbol of the Ethiopian people's identity.[12] The largest number are in the Northern Stelae Park, ranging up to the 33-metre-long (3.84 metres wide, 2.35 metres deep, weighing 520 tonnes) Great Stele, believed to have fallen and broken during construction. The Obelisk of Axum (24.6 metres high, 2.32 metres wide, 1.36 metres deep, weighing 170 tonnes) was removed by the Italian army in 1937, and returned to Ethiopia in 2005 and reinstalled July 31, 2008. This stele was already broken into pieces before being shipped. The next tallest is the 24-metre (20.6 metres high above the front baseplate, 2.65 metres wide, 1.18 metres deep, weighing 160 tonnes) King Ezana's Stele. Three more stelae measure 18.2 metres high, 1.56 metres wide, 0.76 metres deep, weighing 56 tonnes; 15.8 metres high, 2.35 metres wide, 1 metres deep, weighing 75 tonnes; 15.3 metres high, 1.47 metres wide, 0.78 metres deep, weighing 43 tonnes.[14] The stelae are believed to mark graves and would have had cast metal discs affixed to their sides, which are also carved with architectural designs. The Gudit Stelae to the west of town, unlike the northern area, are interspersed with mostly 4th century tombs.
The other major feature of the town are the Old and New Cathedrals of St Mary of Zion. The Old St Mary of Zion Cathedral was built in 1665 by Emperor Fasilides and said to have previously housed the Ark of the Covenant. The original cathedral, said to have been built by Ezana and augmented several times after was believed to have been massive with 12 naves. It was burned to the ground by Gudit, rebuilt, and then destroyed again during the Gragn wars of the 1500s. It was again rebuilt by Emperor Gelawdewos (completed by his brother and successor Emperor Minas) and Emperor Fasilides replaced that structure with the present one. Only males are permitted entry into the Old St. Mary's Cathedral (some say as a result of the destruction of the original church by Gudit). The New Cathedral of St. Mary of Zion stands next to the old one, and was built to fulfill a pledge by Emperor Haile Selassie to the Our Lady of Zion for the liberation of Ethiopia from the Fascist occupation. Built in a neo-Byzantine style, work on the new cathedral began in 1955, and allows admittance to women. Emperor Haile Selassie interrupted the state visit of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II to travel to Axum to attend the dedication of the new Cathedral and pay personal homage, showing the importance of this church in the Ethiopian Empire. The Queen visited the Cathedral a few days later. Between the two cathedrals is a small chapel known as The Chapel of the Tablet built at the same time as the new cathedral, and which is believed to house the Ark of the Covenant. Emperor Haile Selassie's consort, Empress Menen, paid for its construction from her private funds. Admittance to the chapel is closed to all but the guardian monk who resides there. Entrance is even forbidden to the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church, and to the Emperor of Ethiopia during the monarchy. The two cathedrals and the chapel of the Ark are the focus of pilgrimage and considered the holiest sites in Ethiopia to members of its Orthodox Church.
Other attractions in Axum include archaeological and ethnographic museums, the Ezana Stone written in Sabaean, Ge'ez and Ancient Greek in a similar manner to the Rosetta Stone, King Bazen's Tomb (a megalith considered to be one of the earliest structures), the so-called Queen of Sheba's Bath (actually a reservoir), the 4th-century Ta'akha Maryam and 6th-century Dungur palaces, the monasteries of Abba Pentalewon and Abba Liqanos and the Lioness of Gobedra rock art.Local legend claims the Queen of Sheba lived in the town.
