But they still have to pay a monthly fee to get reception.

This could be huge. Thanks Hal9000, for posting it, and for adding it to the keyword (or to whomever did add it).

If this is true, it’s a staggering, staggering find!

They should be careful opening the Ark of the Covenant...

In the palace, they found Queen Sheba's bucket list...
- Marry the wisest man ever.
- Get him to build temples to my religion.
- Wreck his life.
- Steal the Ark.

"Ethiopian tradition claims the Ark, which allegedly contained Moses' stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were written, was smuggled to Ethiopia by their son Menelek and is still in that country. " Not many people believe this, do they?

There is a strong ancient Jewish presence there.

Most Ethiopians do. :’) According to local lore (recounted by Graham Hancock, but still...) the Ark spent time of years at Elephantine before moving further south. That move resulted from some kind of military problem, wild guess, the Assyrian conquest and retreat of the 25th Dynasty. I think Solomon wound up in Egypt, in exile. Not too sure about the “Solomon’s son” part of the tale, but a trace of the story can be found in Josephus (if memory serves, I’m at work, shame on me).

Sounds like a propaganda piece for Ethiopia.

I don’t have a Bible handy. Did the Israelites get the ark back after that fiasco?

Blam, Ethiopians believe it, and a whale of a lot of archaeologists who've dabbled in Arc related things also believe it to be possible.
You did know that each and every Ethiopian Coptic church has within it a replica of the Arc of the Covenant.
Makes it very difficult to figure out which is the "real" Arc.
I've been wondering if the fast growing Ethiopian Pentecostal Movement continues this tradition ~ my understanding is they've picked up about 1/3 of the Coptic population since the fall of Mengistu, which is absolutely incredible.
If I were deeper into Biblical prophecies I'm sure I'd be concerned with this particular juxtapositioning of the Arc and the Conversions.

No, and the Ethiopians claim that the Ark is still there. Menelek would have known something of the scriptures, so could have arranged for the proper methods of carriage.
The part about sacrificing bullocks on the Ark to worship the star Sirius, though, seems like such a blashpemy that the Lord would not have permitted it.

Says the remains of bullocks were found around the altar, not that bullocks were sacrificed on the Arc.
As far as the realignment of the earlier palace on the site, that could be for a variety of reasons ~ but I'd guess God likes Sirus too, whacha' think?
You do realize the Arc is very necessary for rebuilding the Temple of Solomon in the End Times. Without it all you have is the Temple of Herod ~

Hmmmm. Sirius is not in my concordance, but ‘Sirion’ is said to be the Sidonian name for Mount Hermon (mount of transfiguration). . .
When the Temple is rebuilt, and if the Ark is in Ethiopia now, I bet that it would be restored.

“an altar which held the most precious treasure of ancient Judaism”
The altar had an inscription that said, “Place Ark Here”.
