September 04,2008-Ethiopia,celebrating the re-erection of Axum Obelisk in Axum,Tigray.

"After the return of the Ethiopian stele, in 2005, from Italy to Ethiopia, UNESCO undertook the design for reinstallation of the Stele, an operation funded and in cooperation with the Italian government.

Background of the Aksum obelisk
The funeral stele, weighing 160 tons and standing 24 metres high, is around 1,700 years old and has become a symbol of the Ethiopian people's identity. In 1937 this stele was taken to from Ethiopia to Italy.

The Aksum archaeological site was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1980 and on November 18th, 2004, the governments of Italy and Ethiopia signed an agreement for the return of the Aksum obelisk, in keeping with the 1972 Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage."

  • Tigrai is the mother of all civilizations in the horn of Africa. It is the Source of the Geez fidel, Christainity, and Islam. Tigrai is the land of Qdoos Yared, Axum, Yeha, and Wuqro Negash. Tigrai is the land of dauntless Emperors such as:Ezana, Kaleb, Armaha, Abraha, Elameda, ZeraYakob... Yowhaness; Ras Alula, General Hayelom,and much more.

  • Tigrai is The home of the Ark of the covenant, the land of the Just, brave, free and fair. We have nothing to apologize, be sorry or fear for in our history, but we have everything to be proud of!!!
