Christians in Ethiopia never saw ‘Ark of the Covenant’ they died for
New York Post ^ | February 23, 2021 | Lee Brown

They were slaughtered trying to stop real-life raiders of the lost ark — an artifact so powerful and holy they were forbidden from ever seeing it.

The harrowing mass-murder of at least 800 people at an Ethiopian church in Tigray highlighted the apparent whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant, one of the biggest mysteries in religion and the stuff of movie legend.

The ark — a large, gold-covered wooden chest said to hold Moses’ Ten Commandments — was held at the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem for centuries, but vanished after Jerusalem was sacked in 586 or 587 BC, according to the Old Testament.

Thanks, I did google it myself.   The article I found said that the Ethiopian Army was hunting down the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) fighters.

I immediately thought of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) when they broke away from Ethiopia in the 1990's.   It looks like the Prime Minister of Ethiopia doesn't want it to happen again.

Thanks nickcarraway. It's very unlikely to be the Ark of the Covenant, more likely a Late Kingdom Egyptian coffin, or an outright fake.

You’re right... a preposition is not something you end a sentence with

WOW! Just like the ballots from the 2020 election that are so holy, no one can see them, count them, or watch the high priests who declare the winner count them.

I am fascinated by Ethiopians. Reading about Ethiopia is like reading Tolkien mixed with Medieval.

Isn’t not ending a headline in a preposition a commandment?


Not in English.

The LAST reference to the Ark was before the reign of Manasseh. He profaned the Holy of Holies with pagan idols.
The Ark was removed from the Temple by Levites to protect it.
There was a Jewish settlement dated to the time of Manasseh at Elephantine in Egypt. The Ark was taken there.
From there it went to an Island in Lake Tana in Ethiopia.
From there it went to Axum, the capital of the Axumite Empire and placed eventually in the Church of St. Mary of Zion after Ethiopia was Christianized.
There are Black Jews living in Ethiopia who practice a form of Judaism arrested in the Time of the First Temple. They are called Falashas.
It’s all in “The Sign and the Seal.”

Hope those bastards didn’t get it and 800 people were not slain.
