History
Historically, Tigray Province and Eritrea was where Ethiopian and Eritrean Habesha civilization had its origins. The first kingdom to arise was that of DʿMT in the 8th century BC. The Aksumite Kingdom, one of the powerful civilizations of the ancient world, was centered there from at least 400 BC to the 10th century AD. Spreading far beyond Tigray and Eritrea, it molded the earliest culture of Ethiopia and Eritrea and left many historical treasures: towering finely carved stelae, the remains of extensive palaces, and the ancient places of worship still vibrant with culture and pageantry.
