I had the Ezana Stone created in my honor. It was written in three languages; Greek, Sabaean, and Ethiopian Ge'ez. On the stone was writtings about my conversion to Christianity and the empire's conversion. It also has writings about my conquests and my victories over Kush and their cpital of Meroe. With this people after me can maybe have a glimpse of my power and glory.
I also had the King Ezana Stele erected during my reign. It is made completely made of stone and stands a mighty 70 feet tall. These huge steles, most knocked down, marked the burial places of many royal people of the Axum Empire.
