Civilization!
The Aksum obelisks, also known as steles, are magnificent, monolithic stone pillars located in the ancient city of Aksum, which was the capital of the Aksumite Empire in what is now Ethiopia. The Aksumite Empire thrived from approximately the 1st century AD to the 7th century AD and played a significant role in the region's history and culture.
The obelisks are made of granite and are known for their tall, slender, and imposing appearance. They are often intricately carved with decorative motifs and inscriptions, many of which are written in Ge'ez, an ancient Semitic language that is still used in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church liturgy.
The inscriptions on the obelisks provide valuable historical and cultural information about the Aksumite civilization, including commemorations of rulers, their achievements, and the empire's early adoption of Christianity.
