King Lalibela of the Zagwe dynasty is known for constructing the rock-hewn churches in Ethiopia during the 12th and 13th centuries. The artifacts attributed to him include the churches themselves, crosses, and other religious artifacts that reflect the unique architecture and artistry of the time period. These artifacts are significant in understanding the cultural and religious history of Ethiopia during Lalibela's reign.
The Lalibela churches in Ethiopia were constructed during the reign of King Lalibela in the 12th and 13th centuries. The building process is believed to have taken about 24 years, with the churches carved directly from rock, showcasing remarkable engineering and artistic skill. The complex consists of 11 monolithic churches, which were intended to be a New Jerusalem for Ethiopian Christians.
When Emperor Lalibela established the kingdom of Ethiopia around 1185 CE, Christianity, specifically Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, was the widely practiced religion. The region had adopted Christianity as its state religion in the 4th century under King Ezana, making it one of the first nations to do so. Lalibela himself is noted for his significant contributions to Christian architecture, including the famous rock-hewn churches that symbolize Ethiopian devotion and heritage.
Lalibela's population is 14,668.
Angels envolved in the carving of the churches of Lalibela is a myth. There is a pillar about 10 meters erected inside the Bete-Mariam church where the story of the curving of the churches is dipicted in detail and it doesn't claim the intervention of Angels in the building.
The airport code for Lalibela Airport is LLI.

The Aksumite Empire in Ethiopia was replaced by the Zagwe dynasty around AD 600. The Zagwe dynasty is known for its Christian heritage and the remarkable rock-hewn churches, particularly in Lalibela, that were created during this period. This transition marked a significant shift in the political and religious landscape of the region, with the Zagwe dynasty continuing the promotion of Christianity in Ethiopia.
