Uncovering Ethiopia's Ancient Megaliths Part 2: Pre-Axumite Temples and Connections to Yemen
Join me for Part 2 of this series on Ethiopia as we discuss the mysterious Pre-Axumite temples, some of the oldest structures in Ethiopia, dating back to at least 800-700 BC --- maybe earlier! Explore the Great Temple of Yeha with its precision cut limestone walls, unique Ibex carvings, and inscriptions linking it to Yemen’s ancient Sabaean civilization. We’ll also explore a massive 800 BC palace, a newly discovered altar, and connections to Axum’s obelisks and Lalibela’s rock-hewn churches. Are these sites far older than archaeologists claim? How do they relate to Yemen’s Awwam and Barran temples, 500km across the Red Sea?
