A landmark ornamented with 2 false doors at ground level.And some decorations resembling like modern windows.
Had this monument got a mouth to speak it would have given us many wonderful stories in real time.

The birth place of Ethiopian civilization. The Axum Stelae Field contains several old aged amazing obelisks standing to witness mystery. Each obelisk, some of which measured more than 33 meters high and several hundreds of tons in weight, is curved from a single granite stone. The art manifested on the obelisk will definitely ignite a question in your mind with technology Axumites used by that time. No one knows the answer to how was it possible to accurately curve the obelisks, how they transported, how did they erected?????

The largest of the obelisks has fallen there for centuries. It's extremely huge and each art of the obelisk was carefully curved. What happened to the once powerful kingdom of Axum, one of only four powerful Kingdoms in the world, will remain a mystery. But the fallen obelisk will talk a lot and add into your unsolved mysteries.

If anyone tells you they have been to Axum, they sure have been to this place. The obelisks will simply put you into an ocean of amazement. It's very difficult to compare the time these obelisks were erected to the present day of Axum and Ethiopia in general.

I've run short of words to describe this. Any reader of my comment have to visit and tell me if they can describe what they see briefly.

A few of these Stelae are around 1700 years. A humbling walk around reveals a ancient society that was skilled in ways that are hard to imagine without modern tools and measuring equipment. The detail on these Stelae are outstanding. The small museum is average but it is outside that one gets to marvel at the Stelae and tomb.
Well worth the 60-90 minutes and get a good guide.
