I agree with you Alissia. They're churches were very interesting because they were built underground and with volcanic rock. It just shows how unique they are and they have done a lot.

I find Ethiopia to be the most successful. King Lalibela was a great ruler because he was known for constructing 11 churches in Ethiopia. He built them under ground where you can still see them from above and all of the churches he made were made out of red volcanic rock. Ethiopia also replaced Axum. They have done a lot and are very powerful.

I think Ethiopia was the most successful because they built many churches around their land. They also overthrew empires which was a good accomplishment. My conclusion is that they were a powerful empire and were one of the better empire of the four.

I disagree with you, Taniya. Just because they built walls to show power, doesn't mean they they were the most successful. Ethiopia also displayed some power by building churches. Ethiopia did more than just display power.

In my opinion, Ethiopia was the most successful group out of the four. One reason it the churches. These things are amazing, and huge. they displayed quite a bit of power. Also they ruled for about eight-hundred years. That is longer than America has existed! It was pretty close, but overall, I think Ethiopia did the best.

I think great Kilwa was the most successful. I believe this because they control the Indian ocean trade routes. They eventual became Swahili but they still were successful.

I believe that Ethiopia was the best because of how religious the empire was. They built 11 churches which were made with volcanic rock. This structure sounds hard to make. These churches were also made underground.

I believe Great Zimbabwe was the most successful. I believe it was the most successful because they had made these great stone structures. These structures were mostly walls and were not even stuck together with mud. I think this is fascinating because the stones could fall off at any minute but they haven't, for hundreds of years. This is why I think Great Zimbabwe is the best.

I think Great Zimbabwe was fascinating too. I think that it wasn't the most successful because their empire didn't go down because of moved trade routes or invasion. They went down because they over used their recourses.

I think the most important civilization was Benin. They created many forms of Entertainment like the Music instruments. The instruments are the finger piano, sticks, and drums. Another thing they were good at was sculpting they made many masks and all kinds statues for trade.

I think Kilwa was the most successful. I think so because they were awesome at trading because they had could use the Indian Ocean to trade with the southern kingdoms. They even had a language mixed with theirs and the Arab's. The only reason was because through trade Arabs and Africans were starting to mix and match their language into Swahili.
