7. The Rome Stele
The Rome Stele, also known as the Aksum Obelisk, is in Tigray Region, Ethiopia. It stands 79 feet tall and weighs 160 tons. There are two fake doors at the bottom of the building and decorations that look like windows around the building. Built over 1,700 years ago, the structure has its share of damage but still stands strong.
While a lot of work went into keeping the Aksum original, the structure continues to age, and people struggle to find ways to preserve it. One way to protect the Aksum is through the protection of the National Antiquities Authority.
