History

Steles (vertically aligned slabs with inscriptions or bas-relief decorations, vertical tombstones), unique in the world, have survived to the present day in the former kingdom of Aksum.

The place where the bodies of the suicide defenders of Masada were buried has not been found to this day.

The empire created its own language, alphabet, minted its coins (copper, silver and gold).

The Aksumites traded ivory, rubber, silk, spices, turtle shells, salt, gold, emeralds, precious metals, and steel.

Unfortunately, at least at this stage of archaeological research, the actual cause of the fall of the Mohenjo-daro civilization has not been established.

The Aksum fleet appeared off the coast of the Arabian Peninsula, Persia, China, India, Indonesia and the Philippines.

In the absence of any contact with the tourists, the families of the expedition members waited patiently for the promised telegram.

According to Herodotus’ account, after the battle, the Greeks erected a lion-shaped stone monument to the fallen heroes, as well as three stelae with mournful epigrams dedicated to Leonidas, Megistias (the only civilian participant in the battle), and the other fallen.

There are several theories why the colony needed so many years to start running the settlement with success.

The original name of the city is unknown.
