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.
The path up is not always clear, so I decided to follow a nice guy who did not appear too imposing. The sun was on its way down, giving some nice afternoon light on the landscape around me. The walk up through fields with rocks and some agriculture was easy enough, and when the youth stopped at a rock and pointed, I realized we had arrived. I turned around, and there she was, the Lioness of Gobedra, quite primitively etched in one of the larger rocks on this hill. In good Ethiopian tradition, the etching has a legendary background. Archangel Michael fought a lioness here, and threw it against the rock with such force, that the contours remained.
