EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases one of the monolithic steles of Axum, Ethiopia, a city in East Africa that was once the capital of the ancient Aksumite Kingdom. The Aksumite civilization, which flourished between the 1st and 10th centuries AD, is considered one of the most significant in African history. The monolithic steles, some of which reach impressive heights, are a testament to the advanced engineering and artistic skills of the Aksumites. These monoliths were not only used as markers for the royal tombs but also served as symbols of power and prosperity. The one depicted in the image, believed to date back to the 1st century AD, stands tall and proud, its intricate carvings still discernible despite the passage of time. The obelisk's design includes a pyramid-like base, a cylindrical shaft, and a pyramid-like top. The carvings on the stele are thought to represent various symbols, including the sun, the moon, and the cross, which later became a significant religious symbol in Ethiopia. The archaeological site of Axum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, continues to attract researchers and history enthusiasts from around the world. The monolithic steles of Axum offer a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of the ancient Aksumite civilization, providing valuable insights into the lives of its people and their achievements.
