The Obelisk of Axum is a 1,700-year-old, 79-foot granite stele/obelisk, weighing 160 tonnes, in the city of Axum in Ethiopia. Axum was the ancient political and religious capital of Ethiopia. Though the exact date of its founding is not known, it is known that the Queen of Sheba, who reigned around 1000 B.C. had Axum as her royal capital. The exact procedure of its making is unknown to us. Only theories are said.
