This is so beautiful. Great craftsmanship.

But I always have this nagging feeling.

What if there's no Life After Death but Biggie Small's album....

What if no God exists?

All the money spent on tithes... Churches ... Mosques.... all the sexual deprivation... lives lost over the centuries.....Hajj

ALL FOR NOTHING? ! shocked shocked

Still wondering how they carved this kind of building. Don't tell me it is with ordinary Chisel and mallet.
Re: 900-Year-Old Church Carved Downward Into A Huge Rock In Ethiopia (Photos) by Skoonheid(f): 10:36am On Jan 16, 2022
[The stone masons then carefully chiseled away the church outline, shaping both the exterior ]

And what you typed there makes any sense to you?? Quit talking trash. That church was not made by human hands.

Solid building!


The ones we build can't stand for 20yrs, that's if they don't crumble during construction.
20yrs is an understatement.

I'm not sure if this church is well known in Nigeria otherwise the place would have turned to another annual pilgrimage. Another cash out for the Ethiopians.

How is it possible that this was done by humans? There's something mysterious about it. It's too perfectly carved out. It couldn't have been done by humans

We and the people wey do this work. We no be mate o. The commitment and expertise is beyond our imagination.
Explorers:
Nobody knows the equipment used to carve or construct the church or how long the construction took.

No one knows for sure if the Church of Saint George was completed in Lalibela’s lifetime, or if it was constructed after he died in an attempt to honor his legacy.

The cross-shaped stone church has been a popular site for Christian pilgrims since it was first constructed many centuries ago.

Lalibela’s sunken network of stone churches appear impossible to access to the untrained eye, but a keen observer will note that there is a small man-made entrance that grants access to the holy stone structures.

Countless Christian pilgrims dressed in white have flocked to the Church of Saint George to pray and express their commitment to their unwavering Christian faith.


Many years ago, st George church became UNESCO world heritage site.
