The Ark of the Covenant in Ethiopia

Dr. Ralph Lee is exploring the Ethiopian epic 'The Glory of Kings,' which continues the Ark of the Covenant story beyond the Bible. The tale begins with the Queen of Sheba's visit to Solomon, resulting in the birth of Menelik, the first king of Ethiopia. Menelik later visits Solomon, and Jewish priests accompany him back to Ethiopia, secretly taking the Ark with them. The Ark becomes central to Ethiopian worship, believed to have been in the Axom church since the 17th century, predating the Babylonian sack of Jerusalem.
