A local museum dubiously suggests buildings made of this material were crafted by only using adzes, helping stoke the legend that they were instead crafted overnight by an army of angels. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this material that constitutes eleven churches at Lalibela, including one shaped like a cross.
ANSWER: rock [accept stone; accept descriptive answers such as carved from stone or rock-hewn; accept the Rock-Hewn Churches at Lalibela; reject “ground” or “dirt”]
[10e] The rock-hewn churches of Lalibela are sacred to this country’s Orthodox Tewahedo Church. The Ark of the Covenant has been housed in this country since the reign of Menelik I.
ANSWER: Ethiopia [or the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia; accept the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church]
[10h] Rock-hewn temples sacred to this deity were later converted into the crypts of Christian churches. A single entrance opposite an apse in the back was common in temples to this god home to frequent feasts.
