All that is to say that Christianity has been in Ethiopia for a extended, long, long time, so it’s probably not very astonishing that some of the greatest mind-blowing early Christian minsters were built right here. In the area called Lalibela called after the ruler who supposedly custom-built the minsters you can find no less than 11 of these minsters carved directly into the crags. In a hilly area in the heart of Ethiopia, some 645 km from Addis Ababa, eleven feudal monolithic minsters were imprinted out of rock. Their edifice is credited to King Lalibela who set out to idea in the 12th period a New Jerusalem, after Islamic defeats stationary Christian trips to the holy Terrestrial. Lalibela prospered after the flagging of the Aksum Land.
