Before the Solomonic dynasty proclaimed its descent from Menelik I, the Zagwe rulers of Lasta built Ethiopia's most astonishing architectural marvels: the eleven rock-hewn churches of Lalibela. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Zagwe dynasty's origins among the Agaw people, their capital at Roha (later renamed Lalibela), and how King Lalibela commissioned a 'New Jerusalem' carved from solid volcanic tuff. They discuss the political and spiritual motivations behind the churches, the engineering techniques used to excavate them from the ground down, and the legends of angelic assistance and divine speed. The conversation also touches on the rivalry with the Solomonic claimants, the role of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and why the Zagwe—despite being dismissed as usurpers—left a legacy that rivals Aksum's. Specific names include: Zagwe, Lalibela, Agaw, Lasta, Roha, Tewahedo, St. George (Bete Giyorgis), St. Mary (Bete Maryam), and the Ark of the Covenant (tabot). #Zagwe #Lalibela #RockHewnChurches #Ethiopia #Agaw #Lasta #Tewahedo #BeteGiyorgis #BeteMaryam #Roha #MedievalArchitecture #Christianity #ArkOfTheCovenant #Tabot #EthiopianHistory #History #FexingoHistory #EastAfrica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
