The powerful kingdom of Aksum emerged on the Ethiopian Plateau about the 1st century ce. It originated with the town of Aksum and later expanded to include additional territory in eastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Under Aksum, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church was founded on the Ethiopian Plateau in the 4th century. The kingdom declined in later centuries, though its Christian traditions continued under subsequent powers.
