The Arc of the Covenant
The original Moses’s Ark of the Covenant believed that exists and still rests in Aksum. The presence of the Ark of the Covenant is relate with the journey of Menelik the I to Jerusalem, on his journey back to Ethiopia he brought the original Ark of the covenant to Ethiopia,
ever since the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church believes that the Ark of the Covenant has remained in Ethiopia. Now the Ark of the Covenant is kept in a small chapel in the courtyard of the Axum Zion church. This makes Aksum the holiest ground in Ethiopia.
