King Bazen’s Tomb ...... @yemaneabadi
According to the chronology of Aksumite
kings, Bazen would have been ruling over Aksum at the time of Christ
Birth. His tomb lies underground and entered via a man – high tunnel,
but it differs from the tombs in the main stelae field in that it is
hewn out of rock as opposed to being built from stone blocks. The graves
chiseled unto the side of the entry tunnel are probably where Bazen’s
family was laid to rest. At the end of the tunnel are two much larger
vaults in which the king and his wife are thought to have been entombed.
Decrete from king’s tomb is a series of graves carved into the rock,
reminiscent of the similar but much more recent graves carved into the
surrounding walls of the churches of Lalibela.
