Granite Stele of King Ezana, Axum

Axum, the oldest city in Ethiopia.  Only about 30% of it has been excavated so far but already a gazillion tombs and palaces and historic goodies have been uncovered.  This stele stands 24m tall and weighs 160 tonnes.  It was taken to Italy in the 30s by Mussolini but returned to Axum in 2005.    Some cool tombs underneath :)
