A monumental relic of Axum’s golden age, the Ezana Inscription stands as Ethiopia’s Rosetta Stone, etched in Greek, Sabean, and Ge’ez. This trilingual masterpiece reflects the Axumite Empire’s vast influence—Greek, the language of commerce; Sabean, a link to the ancient temple of Yeha; and Ge’ez, the script that would evolve into Ethiopia’s literary foundation. The inscription chronicles King Ezana’s expansion into South Arabia (modern-day Yemen), marking Axum’s dominance beyond the Red Sea. Discovered by farmers, this stone tablet now rests near the Tombs of Kaleb and Gebre Mesqal, a silent yet powerful testament to a civilization that shaped history through trade, conquest, and written legacy.
