From ancient times to the present day, mankind has been interested in all unusual and indescribable simple explanations. Even in our century, when scientists discovered a huge number of mysteries of the past, there are many white spots in the history of ancient civilizations. The whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant are also covered with complete mystery. Until now, archaeologists, historians and researchers cannot say for sure whether this relic has survived to the present day and where it is hidden.
The Ark of the Covenant is the box that Moses received from God on
Mount Sinai. It contained the ten basic commandments, as well as instructions on where they should be located. On the one hand, this relic can be considered fictitious, but the exact descriptions of the ark in the
Old Testament suggest that this is a real object that was once used by the Jews. It is noteworthy that this box was very important for God, because he indicated to Moses the names of the masters who were to be engaged in its manufacture, as well as the material from which it should be made.
The Ark of the Covenant was actively used by the Jews; it served as a kind of weapon that defeated all the enemies of this people. This is not just a beautiful box for storing holy writings, but a source of unknown energy and a means of communication with the Almighty. The instructions also described in detail a suit in which it is necessary to approach the box so that it does not cause harm to a person, which means that there was still some radiation.
What is very interesting is that nowhere is the period indicated when the Ark of the Covenant disappeared. The Ethiopian footprint, which many scholars talk about today, suggests that the relic was stored in the Jerusalem temple, but after it was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, it disappeared without a trace. This fact suggests that during the siege, someone secretly carried out the Ark of the Covenant and hid it.
There is no doubt that the last known refuge of the relic was Jerusalem. The temple after the destruction was restored by Tsar Cyrus, and all the looted was returned, but the box was not listed and no one mentions it, as if it had never been. There is an assumption that the ark was taken to Axum, the capital of Ethiopia, King Menelik, who is the son of King Solomon and
Queen of Sheba. In this town there really is a chapel guarded by armed people and a clergyman. It is assumed that it is here that the relic is hidden.
The Ark of the Covenant to date, no one could see. It is not possible to approach the chapel, since there are people sitting next to it, looking like pilgrims, but vigilantly watching every movement of strangers. Ethiopia had a large community of Jews, kept apart from the local population. Their religious rites were very different from modern Judaism, which is a confirmation that their ancestors lived in the 7th century BC. under the reign of King Manasseh, who worshiped the god Baal. Believers could not allow the ark to remain in the desecrated temple, and therefore they moved it to Ethiopia.
For many years, Israel did not recognize community members as immigrants from their country, but in the twentieth century they were allowed to return home, which many did. What is in the chapel - a real ark, or just a duplicate, has not yet been found out, but scientists are close to a solution. Perhaps when the relic is found, answers to many questions that so concern researchers today will appear.
