That’s really interesting — all I enjoyed seeing the rest of the images and information on Aksum. I’d never heard of it before and found it fascinating! Thank you!

Ohmigod, LALIBELA!!! Sorry, I just can’t help shouting! :-) I LOVE that place! Axum rocks, too!

Seriously, everyone, you really *have* to go to Ethiopia and check these sites out! They are SO amazing! I was there last September/October, and I’ve never been anywhere as incredible as Ethiopia. The castles at Gondar are wonderful too.

OK, I’ll try to calm down now. Thanks, Kris!

I, too, had never heard of Aksum. I’ll have to spend more time on the gallery.

I wish there were more children’s books about Ethiopia’s history and culture available. Would you consider writing one? It’s so easy to find info on Greece, Rome and Egypt…but other ancient cultures seem to fall by the wayside.
