Aksum One of the most well known holds that Levitical priests moved the Ark to Egypt just before the Babylonians sacked Jerusalem in 586 B.C. From there it was supposedly moved to Ethiopia, where it resides to this day in the town of Aksum, in the St. Mary of Zion cathedral.

Learn More »The oldest version of the ancient text called Massekhet Kelim (“Treatise of the Vessels”) was included in the Hebrew book Emek Halchah, published in Amsterdam in 1648. A later version, published in 1876, was almost identical to that older version. As reported in LiveSciencethis week, James Davila, a professor at the University of St. Andrews, has recently translated the complete treatise into English for the first time. According to Davila, the treatise claims that the treasures of King Solomon “were concealed by a number of Levites and prophets….[Some] were hidden in various locations in the Land of Israel and in Babylonia, while others were delivered into the hands of the angels Shamshiel, Michael, Gabriel and perhaps Sariel…” The text apparently stops short of revealing the exact location of the Ark and the other treasures, saying that it “shall not be revealed until the day of the coming of the Messiah son of David.” Davila stresses that the treatise is less of a factual account of the treasures’ whereabouts than a fictional work based on a number of different legends. As such, it is sometimes inconsistent and confusing in its structure. The treatise does provide a lyrical description of Solomon’s treasures, including “seventy-seven tables of gold, and their gold was from the walls of the Garden of Eden that was revealed to Solomon, and they radiated like the radiance of the sun and moon, which radiate at the height of the world.” According to Davila, the Treatise of the Vessels closely parallels another ancient text: the Copper Scroll, one of the Dead Sea Scrolls found near the site of Qumran in the West Bank. That ancient metallic scroll dates back some 1,900 years and also discusses the fate of a hidden treasure, though it is not known to which treasure it refers. The newly translated text states that the treasures of Solomon were recorded “on a tablet of bronze,” similar to the metallic Copper Scroll. Both texts also refer to “vessels” or “implements,” including artifacts made of gold and silver. As Davila told LiveScience, this may be coincidental, but it may also reflect an ancient tradition of recording important information on metal, which was far more durable than papyrus or parchment. According to the Bible, Moses had the Ark of the Covenant built to hold the Ten Commandments at the command of God. The Israelites carried the Ark with them during their 40 years spent wandering in the desert, and after the conquest of Canaan, it was brought to Shiloh. King David later took the Ark to Jerusalem, where his son and successor, Solomon, eventually installed it in the temple. Since its disappearance, some 2,000 years ago, numerous theories have arisen about its fate. One of the most well known holds that Levitical priests moved the Ark to Egypt just before the Babylonians sacked Jerusalem in 586 B.C. From there it was supposedly moved to Ethiopia, where it resides to this day in the town of Aksum, in the St. Mary of Zion cathedral. Only one man, a monk known as “the Guardian,” is allowed to see the Ark, and church authorities have never allowed it to be studied to determine its authenticity.

Animal behavior captures our imagination. The ‘choices’ animals make are essentially innate, but can inspire us to choose a better character. The lion is associated with honesty, in part, due to a lack of duplicity in it’s communications. Derived from the Latin honestas, or ‘honored as a consequence of integrity’. In the Book of Revelation 4:7, four creatures surround the Throne of the Almighty - the first one is a Lion. The lion communicates reliable signals: if the tail hangs down in a long flowing curve, with the tip pointing upward, it is on a peaceful stroll. If the tail sticks out straight, switching back and forth, he is looking for diner. The lion also uses their ears to tell what they are thinking: relaxed means ‘I’m good’, but ears pinned flat against the neck means imminent attack. Just one side of the lip curled is ‘nervousness’ (and a nervous lion is enough for me to hit the road), but a wrinkled nose, bare teeth... Is it deceitful to keep some situations private; are we compelled to spill our guts ‘to be honest’? Can the President say to a foreign leader ‘you know, to be honest, we are going to bomb you at 3 pm, but right now, let’s have lunch’? In 1964, Supreme Court Justice Stewart had a great take that is helpful in recognizing honesty (although he was speaking of another issue entirely): ‘I know it when I see it.’ The demeanor of a lion teaches us to be forthright about communications, because missed signals can be disastrous. As a ruler reports the same measurement every time, honest people answer the same, no matter the repercussions - it’s also practical, the truth always comes out in the end.
