Talk:Lalibela

message: From the text:
:Contrary to theories advocated by writers like Graham Hancock, the great rock-hewn churches of Lalibela were not built with the help of the Knights Templar; abundant evidence exists to show that they were produced solely by medieval Ethiopian civilization. For example, while Buxton notes the existence of a tradition that "Abyssinians invoked the aid of foreigners" to construct these monolithic churches, and admits that "there are clearly signs of Coptic influence in some decorative details", he is adamant about the native origins of these creations: "But the significant fact is remains that the rock-churches continue to follow the style of the local built-up prototypes, which themselves retain clear evidence of their basically Axumite origin."
That just doesn't make sense at all. Does someone have an idea of how to fix it, so that it is not on the face of it gigantically self-contradictory logically? -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 07:05, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The decimal-degrees lat/long co-ords in "GeoHack - Lalibela" are incorrect.
They should be:  12.031629186989777, 39.04116690158844
I don't know how to change them.

What do the bees have to do with his name?  Rissa, Guild of Copy Editors  (talk) 07:24, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
