Writing in his book Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark, author Laurence Gardner can't resist the urge to go against Hancock's assertions, and states that the Axum ite Ark "Called a mantra untouchable, is actually a final resting place which contains a loved raised region piece known as a no-no. As a matter of fact, yet the Axum chest might be of some particular social significance in the district, there are mantra living space (plural of no-no) in places of love across the extensiveness of Ethiopia. The territory which they contain are rectangular unique ventured region pieces, made of wood or stone. Clearly, the esteemed mantra Talbot of Axum is of critical consecrated interest and, by semantic definition, it is unquestionably an ark - but it isn't the scriptural Ark of the Covenant, nor anything indirectly like it."
Various sources explored by Laurence Gardner show that the Arc of the Covenant had been concealed under Solomon's Temple at the hour of King Josiah (597 BC) so as not to be seized by Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians. In his Mishnah Torah of 1180, the Spanish mastermind Moses Maimonides told that Solomon had fostered an unprecedented disguising spot for the Arc in tunnels far beneath the asylum. The prophet Jeremiah, offspring of Isaiah who transformed into the High Priest of Jerusalem, was the captain of Isaiah's Temple Guard. Going before Nebuchadnezzar's assault, Isaiah prepared Jeremiah to have his men release the Arc of the Covenant, close by other blessed fortunes, in the vaults under the Temple. North of 1700 years sometime later a social occasion of nine Frenchmen known as the principal Knights Templar went during that time from 1118 to 1127 revealing under the Elias mosque on the site of the old Temple of Jerusalem. They recuperated, despite a huge wealth of gold bullion and concealed treasures, the certifiable Arc of the Covenant. While the presence and exact region of this bend are not at present known, the Templar after a short time got maybe the most surprising severe and political establishments in middle age Europe.
Writing in his book, The Head of God: The Lost Treasure of the Templar, Keith Lieder says:
"The Ark of the Covenant can in like manner be shown to be of Egyptian surmising. Various heavenly creatures (counting the state god Mantra) were conveyed in march in adjusted boats, or arks. They were, from a certain point of view, flexible homes for the heavenly creatures. This was an extraordinarily out of date custom. Exactly when Thutmose III, the mind boggling domain maker of the eighteenth practice, went ahead to do the battle, his god went with him. 'Going on northward by my Majesty, conveying my father Munro, Lord of the Thrones of the Two Lands before me.' While he excused various the former ways, Akhenaten held the ark as a 'long-lasting spot to remain' for his god. That Moses familiar an undefined thought with the Israelites (who moreover used to convey the ark of their god Anon (Ate) before them when they busy with fight) is exceptionally persuading evidence regarding character."
The city of Axum furthermore includes a central spot in the traditions of the Muslims. The far off town of Axum was the earliest chronicled center where the enthusiasts of Muhammad uninhibitedly rehearsed their religion in a climate of agreement without the fear of misuse. In the fifth year of Muhammad's focal objective (connecting with the year 615 in the Christian time), the Axum ite ruler, Ella Sham, offered shelter to a little assembling of Muhammad's disciples (11 men and 4 women, including Than container Afghan, who was to transform into the third Caliph). A few years afterward, just about 100 extra Muslims came to join this first assembling and totally they stayed in Axum for quite a while. Analysts acknowledge that Axum was picked as a place of asylum considering the way that there existed a close by business interface between the domain of Axum and the city-region of Mecca a few time before the climb of Islam.
Axum began to diminish in the early numerous long stretches of the seventh century following the climb and fast advancement of the Muslim Arabs generally through the Middle East. Both Byzantium and the Persian Empire tumbled to the Arabs and this dealt with a last knockout to the trading attempts of the Axum ite rulers. Little is had some significant awareness of what befell the Axum ite domain between the eighth and eleventh many years. Around the focal point of the 11th century the Ethiopian state returned as the Christian Sage organization with its center in the town of Rohan in the Adhara region of the Ethiopian high nations. The Age line, controlled over by eleven rulers, happened until the thirteenth century, when its last ruler gave up to a relative of the old Axum ite custom.
