THE QUEEN OF SHEBA

Ethiopian cultural tradition rests largely on the legend of custody in a small church of Aksum Ark of the Covenant, Brought from Jerusalem by Menelik I, son of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. For Orthodox Christians is the dogma of faith and everyone assumes that, except for that one monk touched by the grace of God, no one can access the place where are the Tablets of the Law God gave thought Moisés.Se until now, except the monks custodians, no one had seen the sacred object Steven Spielberg placed in a location other than the ancient capital of northern Ethiopia. But the Abouna Paulos, The patriarch of the Orthodox church, said in Rome that yes it has been the Ark of the Covenant and is in good condition. Perhaps to some faithful to this statement, even coming from the highest rank, le reste magic of the great mystery. But who knows, it is also possible that the patriarch's words serve to draw attention to a unique cultural heritage, pride of the country, and whose conservation is planned to build a museum in the imperial city of Axum.
