The Aksum and Zagwe dynasties were both significant periods in Ethiopian history, but they differed in their cultural and religious emphases. The Aksumite Empire (circa 100-940 AD) is known for its trade, wealth, and the establishment of Christianity as a state religion, as well as its monumental obelisks. In contrast, the Zagwe dynasty (circa 900-1270 AD) is renowned for its focus on monasticism and the construction of rock-hewn churches, exemplifying a shift toward a more distinct Christian architectural style. While both dynasties contributed to Ethiopia's Christian heritage, Aksum was more commercially oriented, whereas Zagwe emphasized religious devotion and architectural innovation.
