Uncovering Ethiopia's Ancient Megaliths Part 1: The Mysteries of Axum

15 min3 juli 2025

Deep in Ethiopia’s highlands, the ancient city of Axumharbors megaliths that rival the grandeur of Egypt and Peru, yet remain relatively unknown and unexplored. In the premiere episode of my series on Ethiopia’s ancient sites, I will explore the awe-inspiring Northern Stelae Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, including Axum’s massive 500 tonne obelisk. From false doors and windows mimicking multi-story towers, to precision engineered subterraneanchambers, these structures hint at a sophisticated ancient culture. Could Axum’s history stretch far older than the 1st–4th centuries AD, as mainstream archaeology suggests? Join me as we uncover Ethiopia’s striking similarities with global megalithic sites all over the world, challenge conventionaltimelines and explore Ethiopia’s hidden past.
