Ethiopian Archaeologists have uncovered several ancient relics and building through excavations they conducted at the ancient town of Axum.
Coordinator of the archaeologists team Tekle Hagos told ENA on Tuesday that the team has been carrying out excavations beginning from February 8, 2006 on the tombs of Izana and Remhai around the Statue of Queen of Sheba in Axum town.
Tekle said the team has uncovered claywares, several metallic and stone-made relics as well as a four-pillar building.
According to the Ethiopian News Agency Tekle added that by the side of the ancient building was found a throne statue erected for a warrior named Hatsani Daniel.
"The script on the statue describes the victory of Hatsani Daniel at Kessela and Wolqait and his refusal to accept the appointment offered to him by the Axumite King," Archaeologist Tekle said.
The team also uncovered glassware and clay moulding tools which indicate that glass technology was in use in ancient Axum, he said.
More over, Tekle said, armaments, claywares, silver and bronze coins, bracelets and other ornaments have been found at the site, ENA reported.
The excavation, undertaken with a budget earmarked by the authority for research and conservation of cultural heritage, will continue by involving other pertinent organs next year.
