King Lalibela was born on 29th December (January 7), 1101 E.C. He had come to power in the year 1157E.C. He started creating the New Jerusalem (carving the rock hewn churches in the rock mountain) in 1167 E.C. and accomplished carving the churches in 1190E.C. King Lalibela died on 12th June (June 19), 1197E.C.
