Project Objectives: Ethiopia is the site of some of the oldest human settlements in Africa. Though the beginning of recorded Ethiopian history dates to the reported meeting around 1000 BC of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, relatively recent discoveries have shown that it has a rich prehistory as well. Early Christian influences date to around 400 AD and Islamic influences followed Public Disclosure Authorized several hundred years later, and these have had a profound impact on Ethiopian culture and tradition. A rich civilization flourished around Axum until the 7th century AD which was an amalgam of indigenous culture and external influences, notably from Southern Arabia. Other dynasties, such as the Zagwe (responsible for the construction of eleven monolithic churches in Lalibela some time before the late 1200s) left a deep imprint on Ethiopia as well. The fortress city of Fasil Ghebbi in Gondar, residence of the Emperor Fasilides and his successors during the 16th and 17th centuries, contains palaces, churches, monasteries and unique public and private buildings marked by Hindu and Arabic influences, and transformed by the baroque style brought by Jesuit missionaries.
