Awawa Merchanter, (-1949, ?) was a builder in Aksum.
Awawa believed in Ancient Egyptian religion.
He earned enough to live a decent life, but was sometimes a little bit short. He belonged to the low caste of the society, and had some friends among the servants, beggars and workers. People saw Awawa as cultivated, eager to read and learn when possible, and mastering writing, which he did for friends. He was vigorous, muscular, and had a near perfect body. He was considered strong-willed, a leader at heart.
