worlds most phenomenal Great Rift Valley cuts Ethiopia into two parts, forming
a series of thrilling lakes, around which many of Ethiopias national parks are
centered. The widely varying habitats, which includes mountains, lakes, deserts,
savannahs and everything in between, host an astonishing array of wildlife, many
of which are endemic; unique to Ethiopia

Lalibela was born in Roha in the second half of the twelfth
century, the youngest son of the royal line of the Zagwe dynasty, which then ruled
over much of northern Ethiopia. Despite several elder brothers he was destined
for greatness from his earliest days.

 | ![]() | Axum Founded
perhaps 500 years after the decline of Yeha, much more is known about the historic
highland city of Axum - together with its Red Sea port, Adulis. The latter was
abandoned suddenly - probably in the sixth century AD - as the result of an invasion
from Arabia, and was never resettled. On the other hand, protected by the mountains
of northern Tigray, Axum survives to exert a profound influence on the imaginations
and spiritual lives of many Ethiopians.
