ETHIOPIAN AXUMITE Anonymous (c. 100 BCE - c. 700): The palace, which is sometimes called the Palace of the Queen of Sheba, was very tall and contained fifty two rooms. It had excellent drainage. It was originally built in wood and stone and has been reconstructed. Dating is disputed, some calling it Pre-christian, some in the 7th c.
