Report: 750 Massacred at Church in War-Torn Region of Ethiopia

An estimated 750 people were massacred at the Maryam Tsiyon Church in Aksum, Ethiopia, according to a report. The church (which is reputed to house the Ark of the Covenant) is in Tigray, a region that has been ravaged by violence since last November and which remains unstable.

“Maryam Tsiyon Church has been attacked (local people believe with the aim to take the Ark of Covenant to Addis Ababa),” said a Jan. 9 report from Europe External Programme with Africa (EEPA). EEPA is a Belgium-based non-profit that focuses on promoting human rights in countries in the Horn of Africa. “Hundreds of people hiding in the Maryam Tsiyon Church were brought out and shot on the square in front. The number of people killed is reported as 750.”

Is that the same area in which the local blacks have Jewish DNA or some such? There's a decent amount of evidence to support the idea that at some point, there was a Jewish influence in the region from what I've read. I don't recall the source though, so it could have been the crazy haired "aliens" guy.

Well they've been claiming to hold it for a while and there is a history/back story of how it was moved there.  I believe this is the church where a priest lives there full time and never leaves, and he's the only one allowed to see it.

There's tons of evidence supporting the claim that the Ark is there, except there's just one problem: they won't let anyone see it to prove the claim.

Just take it "on faith", I guess.

Ethopians speak an Afro Asiatic language and are related to other Semites so yeah, Jewish influence sounds feasible and probably happened.This whole story sounds like bullshit though, there would definitely be evidence by now of the Ark of the Covenant and the massacre but we have seen nothing. Hell, if it was there Israel would have taken it 40 years ago.

Who knows if it’s really there but I have heard the claim that it is years ago. It’s just one of many places people speculate it may have ended up. The church claims it’s there.

I think I learned this fact from “Action Bronson and Friends watch Ancient Aliens”.

There is a (Coptic, if i recall ) church monastery in Ethiopia  that claims to hold the Ark. The documentary i saw on this was filmed like twenty years ago. Viewng the Ark was denied by the head priest, so it may just be BS, but the clergy members were armed with rifles. Apparently the local majority in that area are fundy muslims. Thus the clergy walking around armed with AKs. They were armed because the local Muzzies had attacked them before.

The Melodians (The Harder They Come) - Rivers Of Babylon


PSALM 137

...After Nebuchadnezzar II's successful siege of Jerusalem in 597 BC, and subsequent campaigns, inhabitants of the Kingdom of Judah were deported to Babylonia, where they were held captive until some time after the Fall of Babylon (539 BC). The rivers of Babylon are the Euphrates river, its tributaries, and the Tigris river.

Psalm 137 is a hymn expressing the yearnings of the Jewish people during their Babylonian exile. In its whole form of nine verses, the psalm reflects the yearning for Jerusalem as well as hatred for the Holy City's enemies with sometimes violent imagery.

Rabbinical sources attributed the poem to the prophet Jeremiah,[3] and the Septuagint version of the psalm bears the superscription: "For David. By Jeremias, in the Captivity."[4]

PSALM 137 Verses 1–4
The early lines of the psalm describe the sadness of the Israelites in exile, weeping and hanging their harps on trees. Asked to "sing the Lord's song in a strange land", they refuse.

1. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4. How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

Well, the evidence is strong enough that a lot of Ethiopian Jews went (back) to Israel.

You know the drill...If the Religion of Peace is massacring people, enslaving people, making sex slaves out of women etc. etc. [all of which their religion condones since their own prophet did this when he gained power] - then it gets no air time by our propaganda media. It would make Islam look bad and that's now allowed.

Now if Christians did this in the name of Christianity, hoo boy, it would be on the front cover of every news site and newspaper for the next few weeks and Biden would demand that the UN send a ground force to wipe them out
