Ethiopia's Mysterious Rock-Hewn Churches

- 11 Churches built by three angels and a king from the ground down. The rock-hewn churches of Lalibela are some of the most impressive structure in the whole world, filled with history and mysteries.
During this trip, we stayed in one of Sora Lodge's treehouse which was small but very fun and cozy with a stunning view of the rolling hills and villages around.

The visit of the Lalibela churches themselves was an unbelievable experience. No matter how many photos you have seen about them, there is nothing better than seeing them with your own eyes. The details and sheer size of those Orthodox churches in addition of the different drainage systems and tunnels are truly impressive. Visiting the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela is an adventure on its own!
Here are all the churches we visited and explored during this tour in Lalibela which are divided in two main groups as listed by the UNESCO World Heritage.
To the north of the river Jordan: Biete Medhani Alem (House of the Saviour of the World), Biete Mariam (House of Mary), Biete Maskal (House of the Cross), Biete Denagel (House of Virgins) and Biete Golgotha Mikael (House of Golgotha Mikael).
To the south of the river, Biete Amanuel (House of Emmanuel), Biete Qeddus Mercoreus (House of St. Mercoreos), Biete Abba Libanos (House of Abbot Libanos), Biete Gabriel Raphael (House of Gabriel Raphael) and Biete Lehem (House of Holy Bread). The eleventh church, Biete Ghiorgis (House of St. George), is isolated from the others, but connected by a system of trenches.
Also, don't forget to take the time to visit Yemrehana Krestos Church. It is a very unique location and the fact that everything was built inside a cave is quite fascinating.
Finally, have a least one meal at Ben Abeba restaurant, ideally for dinner so you too can enjoy the view and a beautiful sunset!
Just in case you are looking for an amazing guide to take you around these amazing churches, this was our guy and he was amazing.

You guys don’t forget to visit bahir dar city 🏙️ while you are there
He talks crap about Ethiopia and Ethiopian Airlines for a long time now he steps his dirty foot on our holy place sad.
As a Kenyan, I always knew Ethiopia had answers to many questions about History. I can tell this was just the tip of the Iceberg. One of the oldest Bibles is also in Ethiopia. So much to learn. Love Ethiopia.
So true!!
And we welcome you with an open arm our neighbor,brother you are always welcome and experience Ethiopia 🇪🇹we love Kenya to the core 👍🏾

Why are the patterns and carvings on the windows in the church similar to Buddhism?
I'm from Eritrea i love Ethiopia .
Cheers ;)
Bruv its your home 🇪🇷 🇪🇹
I visited Lalibela 6 years ago. I met a woman there who had spent 12 days walking to Lalibela. I'm an Orthodox Christian myself and I was stunned. She walked for 12 days in a display of devotion and I whine about having to walk up 2 flights of stairs in my office building 🤣 Ethiopia is truly an amazing country. All Christians in particular should especially visit, but everyone should visit this beautiful country at least once.
What a story!
Damn you guys i'm 2 hours late for work watching your whole series, i couldn't stop 😄
Hahaha sorry about that! :p
Your efforts in bringing awareness to the Lalibela Church will undoubtedly play a vital role in fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of Ethiopia's rich heritage. Your contribution to the world of CZcams is invaluable, and I am sincerely grateful for your outstanding work.
Wow! Thank you so much Kaleab, this means a lot to me man! 👍🏼
That's very true
Indeed❤❤
Thank you so much guys 🙏🏽 I hope our path cross again

Hi Dears, the amazing scenery, your way of embracing the Locals with skilled video editing abilities made this video one of its kind in expressing the Holy Land of Lalibela. You need to come back again whenever you can and explore Ethiopia 🇪🇹 in depth with its unique and diverse cultures and beautiful people!

Thank you so much for saying this! ❤️ It means a lot!
You guys are amazing
If you plan to visit Ethiopia again, visiting the Gheralta Mountains, Abuna Yemata Church, and Axum in the northern part of Ethiopia’s Tigray region is very rewarding.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions. We will for sure be back!

The church area is big and the construction very interesting. That was an interesting story about the firewood. The market is a very busy place. The symbolic tomb of Jesus, Wow! That is a unique feature. The guide was very polite. In fact everybody there is very polite. Ethiopia has so much history and is beautiful. It is true, the landscapes are out of the world that we are use to. Keep up the discoveries.

I am so glad you visited Ethiopia! My husband and I (US citizens) lived in Ethiopia for 5 years. We love the culture, history and people. We now live in Kenya. Love these episodes!

This was breathtaking from the culture, food and history just wow…thank you for showing us lalibela…awesome 💕
These churches are simply incredible!
Great video as always! Amazing history! .... A little fun personal fact, I am such a big Dave Mani fan that my 9 year old son gave me a personalized Dave Mani "Merch"... It was a Father's Day coaster with him and I sitting on the couch together watching Dave Mani!!
No way!!! This is so cool and we truly appreciate the support! ❤️❤️❤️
I am seeing Ethiopia in another light, having been to Adis only.
Thanks for the blog.
This is a real pleasure :D
Lalibela was one of the cleaning company I worked before here in Qatrar,now I understand where they got this name from coz our manager was ethiopian😊 amazing 👍
Hope you can visit the actual place one day! It's so worth it. :)
I was there last year. the vedio refreshed my memory. thank you so much
Most welcome 😊
@Dave Mani you should come back on Coffee harvesting season of Ethiopia and make such videos. It’s really good and you will love it. Thank you for including this beautiful country to the wold.
I would love to do that! :)
Amazing amazing vlog. How the Ethiopians built those churches is definitely intriguing just like it was with the building of the Taj Mahal in India and also the Egyptian pyramids. what a vlog!!. Kenyans do not require visa to enter Ethiopia. How I wish many would know this and visit this beautiful country to see amazing stuff. I also note that you guys did feature some of the international brand hotels in Addis that are quite expensive but, the good news is that there are a number of other 3 stars hotels near Piassa in Addis, which are very modern, nice and affordable from $20 per night.
@himm.. @Douglas: what made you think that these rock-hewn churches were built by the actual Ethiopians?? HINT#1: just about all notable structures in Abyssinia/Ethiopia have been built by foreigners [Yemeni Arabs, Syrians, Byzantine/Greek monks, Ottoman Turks, Portuguese & even Portuguese-hired Gujarati Indian stonemasons, etc.]. For example, the famous Gondar Castle/Palaces were built by Portuguese & Gujarati Indian architects in the 16th century [1500s]. These foreign builders were hired by an Ethiopian warlord-cum-emperor all the way from the Portuguese enclave/colony of 'Goa', located south of the Indian city of Mumbai/Bombay. These Portuguese architects brought with them the well-known Gujarati/Indian stonemasons & carpenters who helped build the mentioned castles/palaces, the first stone+cement bridge on the Blue Nile river, many churches, etc. These foreign builders - like many others before them - were commissioned/hired by an Abyssinian/Ethiopian warlord-cum-emperor who happen to be the biggest slave trader in Ethiopia. PS: guess how all those foreign builders, stonemasons & carpenters were paid by Ethiopian emperors or kings throughout its long history? HINT#2: by exporting slaves to the Arab & Islamic worlds, to Persia, India, Indonesia, etc, on a massive scale! ALSO, in modern times most notable structures in Ethiopia have been built - and continue to be built - by the Italians & the Chinese. AND, how do modern-day Ethiopians pay the Chinese to build the new stuff?? Ahaaa! Do you want a HINT#3 on this last aspect? SMILE. Bye.
@@yaballo1 How I wish that we could travel back in time to discover who and how some of these intriguing structures were constructed in Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan. I read the Old Testament in the Book of Esther 1, 1-2 that King Xerxes also referred to Ahasuerus ruled 127 provinces from India to Ethiopia between 459 B.C to 465 B.C. This if true, plus what you narrate above goes to show that the world has always been a global village.
@@dwamburu1 - yes, most things were built with the involvement of various communities &/or cultures. But, note too the enormous cost in human suffering it took to build the old stuff we admire today as tourists, etc. Now, the dark & sad legacy of the millennia-old & massive slave trade from the Horn of Africa [Abyssinia/Ethiopia] is still being felt in Ethiopia today. Many of the never-ending inter-tribal feuds & bloody wars in Ethiopia are BOTH a continuation & the effects of the mentioned human sufferings that fed & sustained some of the oldest slaves-trading & domestic slaves-owning systems in Africa & the World. As well as the mentioned export trade in slaves, Abyssinia/Ethiopia also had a very extensive domestic slave trade & slaves-owning/using systems on farms ["gebbars" or serfs], etc. This awful economic system lasted till as recent as the 1974 G.C. when a military coup d'état ended-up deposing the ancient Abyssinian/Ethiopian feudal system & its royal dynasty whose last head was Emperor Haile Selassie [Ras Tafari Mekonin]'. THAT IS: unfortunately, there are lots of very dark stories that are YET to be told about Ethiopia & the rest of black or sub-Saharan Africa. Africans have NOT even started telling their own history in earnest. Thanks & bye.
@@yaballo1 That is a pure hatred! You cannot bring a single written evidence for your false claim! The truth i am speaking may contradict with the lie you are living, see any fool can criticize, condemn and complain… and most do!
@@fikirkiflu9365 - what false claim? Here are some references for you: BOOK BY: Pankhurst, Richard (1982 - NOTE: this is by far the best known & respected historian on things Abyssinia/Ethiopia. OK?). 'History Of Ethiopian Towns. p. 109'.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the kind words.
On the other note, the original name of the city prior to the Emperor Lalibela (name came for the one who the bees recognized his rule in local dialect) was Roha. Where does the Tikeze river originates in Lalibela near the monasteries like to represent the Jordan river and or Guihon were Israel monarchs had near Zion mount to bring water to the holy city of Jerusalem. Indeed, Lalibela was to become New Jerusalem according to the Emperor that started building it in the 12th century.
Oh cool I didn't know that! 👍🏼
@@DaveMani I was born in Addis Abeba but I came to learn about it in my studies in Canada.
@DaveMani THANK YOU FOR SHOWING AFRICA IN A POSTIVE WAY, I really appreciated.
One of your commentor(@yabilo1) gave a wrong information about African civilizations. All Ethiopian historical sites as they built by "foreigners." Ethiopia is ancient nation dating back to 3000 years. There was a gold time in history where inhabitant of this nation advanced in knowledge and architectural technologies. As you witnessed in Addis museum they had their own way of manuscript, currency, and civilization.
As any ancient civilization or kingdoms they have goodies and drawbacks, they conquered and ruled huge territories, built good castles, churches , cemeteries..etc. and on other hand they were not democrat, they may abuse people living in newly conquered areas and there was also enslavement. This could be seen ancient Egyptian, Babilon, Mesopotamian, Persian and in ancient Ethiopians too.
Over centuries due to internal and external factors all those ancient civilization and advancement gone, now the citizens of this nation fighting to survive , poverty rooted it's ground and conflicts are everywhere.
We don't see Ancient Egypt power in our time, same for Greece, same for Roman, Same for Syria, Same for Mali. so it will be same for current Ethiopia too. Claim for "foreigners built those whole churches" is a false narration which come out of "inferiority mentality and people of color couldn't do anything by themself" thought.

Great Video
Thank you!
The true HOLY LAND!
For sure!
I've been waiting for this video! This is so interesting, and thank you for sharing this video! I noticed you didn't seem to have problems using your larger camera here as you did in Addis (except that you had to pay extra to enter the churches with it). Is that correct? Have people been OK with you filming using your larger camera in Omo Valley and Lalibela? Is it just Addis where you've had the problem?
Yes and no, the bigger the camera the more people ask question and fill intimidated by it. It also makes you a target as well when you walk around with expensive gear in any major city around the world or tourist attraction. Something to keep in mind too is that law enforcement does NOT like cameras in Ethiopia especially so they might ask questions too and tell you to stop filming sometimes.
Im just used to it loll.
God bless you guys and give you more success in content making. You deserve it good job 👍🏾💚💛❤️✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽🌹🌹🌹🍃🍃🍃🌹🌹🍃🌲🌲🌲
Thanks so much
