Views of Axum --
the church of St. Mary of Zion [with 16th century facade] at Axum;
the Templar fortress, now the Church of Bet Giorgis, at Labilela; etc.

Ebla,
where the ancient tablets mention the pre-Israelitic Jerusalem,
and Yawveh (of pre-Israelitic times and scriptures).

Ancient Ebla (Tell Mardikh)

Ancient city excavated at the site of Tell Mardikh on the River Orontes in Syria. Recent excavations have yielded evidence of the previously unknown language and history of a powerful state of the 3rd millennium BC. Although the site was occupied from the 4th millennium BC onwards the period of its greatest wealth and power was in thc mid 3rd millennium; a large royal palace of this period has yielded an archive of more than 15,000 clay tablets inscribed in the cuneiform script in two languages, Sumerian and the local language, a Semitic tongue now labelled Eblaitc. Work is still continuing on the tablets, but they have already revealed a wealth of information about the economy, political organization and religion of Ebla.

The city was clearly an important commercial centre, exporting woollen cloth, wood and furniture to areas as far flung as Ashur in Mesopotamia and Kanesh in Anatolia. The settlement of this period was destroyed, notably by the Akkadian ruler Naram-Sin but the city was rebuilt and a great palace complex and some wealthy burials of the early 2nd millennium BC have been excavated.

The Ebla texts include many Semitic names which recall those of the Old Testament but extravagant claims of a cult of Yahweh at Ebla and of texts mentioning the biblical patriarchs, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and the Flood story are without foundation .....

The Ark is in Ethiopia. It was taken by the House of Solomon at the command of Jah Rastafari, who knew that the tribe of Benjamin would fall into idolatry, and that the tribe of Judah would continue faithful. It has been in the keeping of the Lion of Judah Menelik and his heirs. So say the children of Jah. "Be still, and know that His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I IS the Almighty." The Hon. Robert Nestor Marley, Prophet of Jah. <Rasta mode off>

If the Ark ever existed, the Assyrians chopped it up for firewood.

If he'd have owned up to having it he wouldn't have had anywhere to prop his umbrellas.

I've heard the claim that the ark was in Ethiopia but there are still other possibiliteis. I heard that it was melted down for its gold or even in the Vatican. However, the latter claim seems silly to me.

Wha-huh? Is there room for a sub-forum in ~E~ called FD&D (Formal Digressions and Drivel)? I reckon I'll suggest it in the ICR...
