The necropolis of these Axumite kings dates back to the 6th century. These burial chambers were once surmounted by a pyramidal edifice covered by a tumulus. King Kaleb's tomb is composed of blocks and three chambers. That of Gabra Masqal, his son, consists of five funerary chambers on which are carved elephants and several crosses. The tomb still contains sarcophagi. Legend has it that a tunnel more than 180 km long links this sanctuary to Eritrea!
