The Horn Of Africa
Aksum, an ancient civilization, was located in what is today northern Ethiopia and parts of Eritrea. It was situated near the Red Sea, which facilitated trade routes connecting Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Arabian Peninsula. The city of Aksum itself was the capital and is known for its impressive obelisks and as a center of early Christianity in the region.
Aksum began a long slow decline after the 7th century due partly to Islamic groups contesting trade routes. Eventually Aksum was cut off from its principal markets in Alexandria, Byzantium and Southern Europe and its trade share was captured by Arab traders of the era. The Kingdom of Aksum also quarreled with Islamic groups over religion. Eventually the people of Aksum were forced south and their civilization declined.
The Kingdom of Aksum was the center of trading.
Aksum University was created in 2007.
