The Danakil Depression is the lowest point in the country and is considered to be one of the world's hottest places. Eritrea capital city Asmara is also called the "Italy's African City" or "New Rome". This, due to the distinctive Italian touch it exudes. The port city of Adulis is one of Africa's most ancient cities. The Greeks founded it in 600. It is believed that the Kingdom of Axum (Aksum), located in southern Eritrea was founded by King Solomon's son and the Queen of Sheba. One of the world's oldest human fossils was excavated here and many experts believe this country to be the cradle of the earth.
