Aksum was the name of a kingdom that could now be considered northern Ethiopia the civilization was made up of multiple religions. The most popular one would be Christianity which was thriving during the 4th century. Judaism was another popular one that was started by a group of black Jews. Not much is known about the Aksum kingdom but what we do know is that they had a king and queen, king solomon, queen Sheba and their son menelik. One important thing about the kingdom is it is the home of the biblical ark of the covenant which lies the tablets of laws  where the Ten Commandments are inscribed. In the picture provided you can see what looks to be like two warriors fighting what could be a wolf or some sort of animal. They are using spears as their weapon. One weird thing is at the center of the right warrior and the animal is a rock that could signify a heart or somthing of that nature.
