I think question 5 can extend beyond just written memories or narratives and into the built space. The rock-hewn churches of Lalibela are monuments which tell the story of how people in what is today Ethiopia saw and understood the world at that time.  It is similar to a European way of thinking in that it is Christian, but it is also unique to that particular time and place. It was also built in the historical context of Islam growing to the East, on the remnants of a great Christian empire which had been destroyed by a Jewish Queen, and to replace pilgrimage to Jerusalem which had become impossible. The buildings are a testament to what it meant to be living in that time and place.

I think this could come through in an essential question like: What do the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela tell us about the society that built them?
