Great Temple of Yeha
The Great Temple of Yeha is a stone temple at Yeha in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia, built around the 7th century BCE. Constructed of large, finely dressed blocks laid without mortar, it was dedicated to the South Arabian god Almaqah and closely resembles Sabaean temples in Yemen. It is the best-preserved building of the pre-Aksumite kingdom of Dʿmt, and a Christian church was later built beside it.
