But it wasn't the only major religion to find an earlier foothold here. Before Christianity, Judaism had arrived. And according to legend, this area has been the resting place for one of the region's holiest treasures for almost 3000 years, an artifact, precious to Jewish people and manyChristians1 and Muslin's as well. It's said to be guarded by the priests of Ethiopian church. There is lots of amazing myth and legend surrounding it, the monastery of the lake Tana. The greatest surely is that one of them houses the Ark of Covenant for a while...... So the ark held the tablets on which were written the 10 commandments. The story is the queen of Hebrew came from a land that we now call it Ethiopia. When to visit King Solomon in Israel, she'd heard the story that this great wisdom wanted to meet her. Turned out there, they got on very well. So willing in fact, they had a son together. He went his home with his mom and went back to his dad as a young man. And when he returned home to Ethiopia, among his entourages was brought the Ark of Covenant. And it was apparently, kept safe in the monastery on lake Tana. And now, according many Ethiopians, it's still here in the country.
