The Churches of Lalibela
In the city of Lalibela we wandered along the narrow canyon-like pathways moving from one rock-hewn church to the next. There are 11 in total, dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. Some are chiseled into the rock, which forms the walls or roof of the church. Others are completely carved out with all four walls standing apart from the rock. But each one invokes awe in the accomplishments of a society with tools much less advanced than what we have today.
