至少750名基督徒因守衛宣稱藏有約櫃的埃塞俄比亞東正教會喪命
屠殺發生在1月9日，但因發生死亡事件的阿克蘇姆市錫安聖母瑪利亞東正教會屬記者封閉範圍,消息兩個星期後才由歐洲與非洲外部計劃發佈。
聖母瑪利亞東正教會內的其中一間被稱為聖書禮拜堂的小教堂,該地基督教徒認為其中藏有由所羅門王與示巴女王所生的兒子閔訥歷一世擺放的約櫃。
但約櫃謝絶參觀故所有人都看不見,由一個從未離開過大院的祭司監護，監護人必須確保方舟不會離開該教堂地面。
據悉當時約有高達1千人在教堂內避難，被埃塞俄比亞聯邦部隊和阿姆哈拉民兵襲擊，至少有750人被拖出殺害。
然而約櫃已被收藏及在襲擊中並無損壞。
非考古學家基督徒兼前警察調查員Bob Cornuke 提出,錫安聖母瑪利亞東正教堂內的約櫃實際上來自所羅門聖殿的彷製約櫃,並非由摩西監製及以色列人抬著進入迦南而近幾年才被發現的那座。
750 CHRISTIANS KILLED DEFENDING ETHIOPIAN CHURCH CLAIMING TO HOST ARK OF COVENANT
JAN 26, 2021
On Jan. 9, the Europe External Programme with Africa reported that at least 750 were reportedly killed after an attack by Ethiopian federal troops and Amhara militia on the oriental Orthodox Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in Axum, Ethiopia. Since the area is sealed off from journalists, reports are just now coming to light. Up to 1,000 people had taken refuge inside the church but were dragged out and murdered.
One of the church’s chapels is called the Chapel of the Tablet because it is believed by Ethiopian Christians to contain the Ark of the Covenant. Ethiopian Orthodox Christians believe the Ark was hidden in Aksum by Menelik I, the son of King Solomon of Israel. The ark is hidden from the view of everyone, apart from a single priest who never leaves the compound. The Guardian, as his title implies, must protect the Ark and is prohibited from leaving the grounds.
It is thought the ark had been hidden and was undamaged in the attack.
The theory that the ark in the Ethiopian church is in fact the Ark of the Covenant from Solomon’s Temple was advanced by Bob Cornuke, a former police investigator who is a Christian non-archaeologist.
The Ethiopian Church places a heavier emphasis on Old Testament teachings than is usually found in Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic or Protestant churches, and its followers adhere to certain practices that one finds in Judaism. Ethiopian Christians traditionally follow dietary rules that are similar to Jewish Kashrut, specifically with regard to the slaughter of animals. Similarly, pork is prohibited. They also perform male circumcision.
Tigray has been the site of the Tigray War since November of last year.
