Delve into Ethiopia's early history and explore the mysterious medieval stelae field of Tiya.
The mysterious stelae field at Tiya is a place that invites much speculation. Recently restored and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, nobody really knows who carved the stelae, or why, although recent excavations suggest that they act as grave markers dating from about 700 years ago. It has been suggested that the site at Tiya marks the boundary between Christian and pagan religions in medieval Ethiopia.
