Ethiopia's Ancient Kingdom Axum: Queen Sheeba's Palace, Northern Stelae Field, and More! (2019)
Axum was actually our first city after Addis Abeba as we started the northern Ethiopian Circle from the top of the country. I can tell you that this city is often overlooked in the sense that tourists only come for one or two days and then head to another destination like Mekele, the Churches the Tigray and so on. And I have to say it is a shame and a blessing! Axum is quite untouristy compared to other Ethiopian cities and this is what makes it so unique. People just live their lives here, you will not find 10000 guides trying to sell you tours. All the tours are organized through one tourist office where you can buy tickets so there is really no hassle and you never should have the feeling that you are getting screwed. The restaurants, with a few exceptions of hotel restaurants, are surprisingly basic and often just offer a few dishes but you get the authentic experience here. If you want to experience the unbusy Ethiopian city vibe, Axum is the place for you.

Stelae field in Axum: the remains of the Aksumite Empire
This is the archaeological park of Aksum (north Ethiopia) where you can admire the mighty obelisks. If you are into history the Aksumite civilisation might be your kind of thing as it is the most mysterious of the ancient civilisations. It is said that we only know less than 20%.
Our guide explains how these obelisks were constructed and erected. Aksumites carved the obelisks in a single piece of stone and transported them with elephants to this place.
The Kingdom of Aksum or Axum, also known as the Aksumite Empire, was a trading nation in the area of Eritrea and northern Ethiopia, which existed from approximately 100–940 AD.

Axum (Ethiopia) - the original capital of the ancient Kingdom of Aksum
Axum was the center of the marine trading power known as the Aksumite Kingdom, which predated the earliest mentions in Roman era writings. Around AD 356, its ruler was converted to Christianity by Frumentius. Later, under the reign of Kaleb, Axum was a quasi-ally of Byzantium against the Persian Empire. The historical record is unclear, primary sources limited mainly to ancient church records.
It is believed it began a long slow decline after the 7th century due partly to Islamic groups contesting trade routes. Eventually Aksum was cut off from its principal markets in Alexandria, Byzantium and Southern Europe and its trade share was captured by Arab traders of the era. The Kingdom of Aksum was finally destroyed by Gudit, and eventually the people of Aksum were forced south and their civilization declined. As the kingdom's power declined so did the influence of the city, which is believed to have lost population in the decline similar to Rome and other cities thrust away from the flow of world events. The last known (nominal) king to reign was crowned ca. 10th century, but the kingdom's influence and power ended long before that.
Its decline in population and trade then contributed to the shift of the power center of the Ethiopian Empire so that it moved further inland and bequeathed its alternative place name (Ethiopia) to the region, and eventually, the modern state
