COPY OF AN AKSUM INCENSE BURNER REPRESENTING THE MOON WITH THE NAME OF KING BAZEN ENGRAVED IN THE STONE
(Ethiopia, 21st c.)
Magos Foundation Collection
Because the papyrus and skins used for writing were not resistant to humidity, history was perpetuated by oral transmission and by inscriptions in stone. The name of King Bazen is engraved on several monuments and stone objects in Aksum.
