Ethiopia: Polish archaeologists have unearthed the remains of a shrine dating back thousands of years from the African country of Ethiopia. Archaeologists at the Center of Mediterranean Archeology at the University of Warsaw have made a historic discovery. The excavation began last March at the Georgios monastery in Ethiopia. Eight days after the coronation, the excavation had to be stopped. A team of archaeologists led by Michaela Guadiello decided to continue his research with the help of a drone.
Only a few meters long stone pillars of the medieval shrine located in the Georgios monastery can now be seen. The locals knew that there was a shrine there, said Dr. Nguyen. Guadiello clarified. But the age at which this shrine was built was unknown. In two archaeological excavations carried out there, archaeologists have noticed the outer wall of the medieval shrine.
The remains of a semicircular structure have been found on the floor of the shrine as a choir. These include the brick and pottery containers inscribed in the Ethiopian language. An inspection of these suggests that it was probably a shrine built between 700 and 1100 AD. The translation of the brick inscription is in progress.
