Welcome to Axum, allegedly the home the "true Arc of the Covenant".

I first read this in a Graham Handcock book, then later a documentary of the book, but he pisses me off these days so lets ignore him, its not about entheogens so he wont care. There are some dubious claims in the wiki article. But some are strongly heald beilifes by some groups..
The basic jist of the story is that the Arc was smuggled out of Jerusalem after it was sacked by Titus in the whatever year 77?, and got heavy into... no, the Arc was said to be taken up the Nile, then to Ethiopia. One of those claimed places it was held is the Church of Our Ladyof Zion..

But is it the real Arc?, copies are known to exist in Ethiopia...

I did actually try search for the Handcock book, but its not by the name I thought it was. If you know the book, do post it.[/sup]
Quote:..., UNESCO added Axum's archaeological sites to its list of World Heritage Sites due to their historic value. Prior to the beginning of the Tigray War in 2020, Axum was a leading tourist destination for foreign visitors.[sup][4][/sup]

Quote:It was rumored to house the Biblical Ark of the Covenant, in which lie the Tablets of Stone upon which the Ten Commandments are inscribed.

Quote:Accordingly, the Ark was moved to the Chapel of the Tablet adjacent to the old church because a divine 'heat' from the Tablets had cracked the stones of its previous inner sanctum. The Ethiopian Empress Menen funded the construction of the new present chapel.

Quote:Tabot (Ge'ez ታቦት tābōt, sometimes spelled tabout) is a replica of the Ark of the Covenant, and represents the presence of God, in Ethiopian Orthodox and Eritrean Orthodox Churches.[sup][1][/sup][sup][2][/sup][sup]: 135 [/sup][sup][3][/sup] Tabot may variously refer to an inscribed altar tablet (tsellat or tsilit; Ge'ez: ጽላት tsallāt, modern ṣellāt), the chest in which this tablet is stored (menbere-tabot, or throne of the tabot), or to the tablet and chest together.[sup][1][/sup][sup][4][/sup]
