Kingdom of Aksum ( Eritrea)


Aksum is located southeast of Kush on rugged land on the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, very close to the Mediterranean Sea. It is located on modern-day countries, Eritrea and Ethiopia.


Aksum traded many necessities, but also sold some very exotic luxuries in exchange for things not found or made in Aksum.


Aksumites believed in one god Mahrem, but they also worshipped spirits, honored dead ancestors, and offered sacrifices.


Most of the Aksumites worked as farmers who brought mountain water to the working fields. The main objective of their life was trading.


Other Aksumites worked as architects and builders. They built monuments, thrones, and several pillars.
