King Ezana's Stele is a towering ancient monument located in Axum, Ethiopia. This impressive granite obelisk stands as a testament to the architectural and engineering prowess of the Aksumite civilization. Erected during the 4th century under the reign of King Ezana, who is notable for his conversion to Christianity, the stele is intricately carved with false doors, windows, and other architectural elements, mimicking a multi-story building.
