Within walking distance from Axum you can find a mysterious lioness etched in a rock; this is the area where the stelae of Axum were carved out.
Apart from the legend, the background is not known, and probably predates Christ. The lioness measures some three metres, and stands out clearly especially from a distance. From here, you have a good view over the plains towards Axum. Walking down, you come across the quarry where the stelae of Axum were carved out of rock, some of which can actually still be seen, not completed and not lifted. They will never reach their final destination. While walking back to Axum, I realized that all the stelae that made it to the town, all had to be transported the same distance. It is still not known exactly how this was done, and indeed, it must have been quite a sight!
