EthiopiaLalibela is roughly 2,500 metres above sea level [1]. Recent archaeological excavations at Lalibela have yielded abundant pottery and faunal remains dating to 900–1100, indicating that the site was largely a secular settlement before being transformed into a religious center by King Lalibela [1]. According to the Futuh al-Habasha of Shihab al-Dīn Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd al-Qādir ibn Sālim ibn ʿUthmān, Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi burned one of the churches of Lalibela during his invasion of Ethiopia [1].
