Aksum, Ethiopia
Ezana Stone
The Ezana Stone is an ancient stele still standing in modern-day Axum in Ethiopia, the centre of the ancient Kingdom of Aksum. This stone monument, that probably dates from the 4th century of the Christian era, documents the conversion of King Ezana to Christianity and his conquest of various neighbouring areas, including Meroë. From AD 330 to 356, King Ezana ruled the ancient Kingdom of Aksum centred in the Horn of Africa.
