Travel video about destination
Aksum in
Ethiopia.
Historic Aksum, in northern Ethiopia, was once the capital of a mighty kingdom. On the site of two previous religious buildings, its ancient cathedral was last rebuilt in 1665.
Thrones constructed of stone have witnessed the coronation of various monarchs whose
Ethiopian Orthodox faith spread far and wide. Aksum is also referred to as
Ethiopian Rome, capital of the oldest
Christian kingdom in the world, the largest outside the
Roman Empire. In the small chapel next to the cathedral a monk is said to protect the
Ark Of The Covenant, the true sanctuary of Ethiopia. It is believed to contain the tables of the ten commandments which God sent to
Moses. On today's western periphery of Dongur lie the ruins of a relatively modest complex.popularly known as the
Palace Of
The Queen Of Sheba. The bible states that the legendary
Queen of the South visited
King Solomon in
Jerusalem in order for him to teach her the
Jewish faith.Although little remains of the former capital of the Aksumitic kingdom, Ethiopia's holiest site, it continues to be a place of mystery and legend.
