Interview with Mickey and Meaza

Coins have a one of a kind importance throughout the entire existence of Aksum. They are especially significant in light of the fact that they give proof of Aksum and its rulers. The engravings on the coins feature the way that Aksumites were a proficient group with information on both Ethiopic and Greek dialects.

This period takes its name from the city of Aksum which had been the capital of Ethiopia for a very long time before the transformation to Christianity of Lord Ezana (who managed from c. 320-360) and filled in as capital for quite a long time later. While we can’t preclude the likelihood that Christianity had been available in the country before the transformation of this ruler(Opens in another window), it is just beginning from this period that declarations of unmistakably Christian convictions show up in the material record.
Few Ethiopian temples, like Debre Damo (above) and Degum, can be probably attributed to the Aksumite time frame. These two designs presumably date to the sixth hundred years or later. As yet standing pre-sixth century Aksumite chapels have not been with certainty distinguished. In any case, archeologists accept that few presently demolished structures dating to the fourth or fifth century worked as holy places — an end in view of elements like their direction. An enormous ventured platform in the compound of the congregation of Mary of Zion in Aksum (considered by the Ethiopians as the residence of the Ark of the Contract), most likely once gave admittance to a huge church worked during this period.
