Description:

En Ру Es

The ruins of the ancient city of Aksum are found close to Ethiopia’s northern border. They mark the location of the heart of ancient Ethiopia, when the Kingdom of Aksum was the most powerful state between the Eastern Roman Empire and Persia. The massive ruins, dating from between the 1st and the 13th century A.D., include monolithic obelisks, giant stelae, royal tombs and the ruins of ancient castles. Long after its political decline in the 10th century, Ethiopian emperors continued to be crowned in Aksum.

Руины древнего города Аксум найдены вблизи северной границы Эфиопии. Они отмечают местонахождение ядра древней Эфиопии, когда царство Аксум было сильнейшим государством древнего мира, наряду с Восточной Римской империей и Персией. Массивные руины, относящиеся к периоду I-XIII вв., включают монолитные обелиски, огромную стелу, царские гробницы и развалины древних замков. Долгое время после политического упадка в Х в. императоры Эфиопии продолжали короноваться в Аксуме.

Ubicadas cerca de la frontera septentrional de Etiopía, las ruinas de la ciudad de Axum señalan el emplazamiento del centro del poder etíope en la Antigüedad, cuando el reino del mismo nombre era el más poderoso de los estados situados entre el Imperio Romano de Oriente y Persia. Las ruinas colosales de Axum datan de los siglos I a XIII y comprenden obeliscos monolíticos, estelas gigantescas, sepulturas reales y vestigios de antiguos castillos. Mucho tiempo después de que se consumara la decadencia política de la ciudad (hacia el siglo X), las ceremonias de coronación de los emperadores etíopes se seguían celebrando en esta ciudad.
