Abuna Yemata Guh

One such temple is the 1,600-year-old Abuna Yemata Guh.

These are the oldest temples in Ethiopia after Abuna Yemata Guh, which is special for many reasons.

The Abuna Yemata Guh Temple was built as close as possible to where three Yang lines cross, and the Bayata Giorgis lies directly on one of them.

Pilgrims climb the steep path to Abuna Yemata Guh barefoot, believing that their feet can absorb the sacred land's energy.

The Lalibela Church lies exactly on the Yang ley line and in a valley, while Abuna Yemata Guh lies on a Yin ley line and on a mountain.
