Many of you will have seen pictures of this incredible structure before, but how much do you know about this rock-cut church in Ethiopia?
Before making this video, I have to admit, I knew very little but this rock-cut monolithic church in Lalibela, a town in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia, is certainly one of the world’s most breathtaking artificial structures.
It is one of eleven rock-cut churches in Lalibela, said to be built in the late 12th or early 13th century by King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela of the Zaqwe dynasty.
Whilst the Church of St. George is said to contain a replica of the Ark of the Covenant, the actual Ark is believed by the locals to be kept in the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in the town of Axum, but could this actually be true?
Watch the video to learn more about the amazing rock-cut churches of Lalibela and to see if the Lost Ark could well be kept in Ethiopia.

Another excellent video. As usual, it is information packed and very thought provoking. I am surprised to be the first viewer, as you usually have an extensive series of comments before I find your videos. These rock cut wonders, of course including the Great Sphinx, are found in Persia and Sri Lanka as well. There used to be, in the late 19th Century a theory of a world-wice civilization responsible for them [not the Atlantis myths]. I wonder if there is any real connection. Some things are independently invented and theorizing connections is not really advisable.
Thanks again, I'm looking forward to your future endeavors.
this is a cool structure but i wouldnt say breathtaking. kailasa temple is breathtaking
thank you for making this video on this ancient archaeological site it rarely gets any coverage.
It looks so much like kailasa temple in india!!
Eeehm... The church you talk about in the beginning, is NOT where the ark is supposed to be... And THAT church was built by templar knights... Why do you fail to mention that?
I have been to Lalibela and Axum and have seen the churches in person...and the church in Axum that holds the Ark. All of them are holy places and the stonework in Lalibela is incredible. One issue I have with your video is that at the point where you talk about the inside of the church of St. George, you show a picture of a roof with painted angel faces. This is actually from an old church in Gondor and not from Lalibela. I have the same photos. Ethiopia is a beautiful country with a rich history. A very proud people and happy to be a part of that family. If you ever want to tour the area, I would suggest looking up a fellow Brit in Ethiopia - Mark Chapman and his tour company - Tesfa Tours.
What better way to hide the Ark than have lots of replicas?
That is a good point
That's kinda how they hid the grail in last crusade.
An ancient shell game?
Yup, that's what I was thinking.
That and putting it in plain site.
@@nanoglitch6693 The Holy Grail is not generally regarded as an object, many believe it is an object appreciated but that is largely thanks to Hollywood and doctored versions of Arthurian legend. In ecclesiastical terms the grail represents the soul, the search for the grail is a quest to unite ones heart with the soul, something that can only be achieved by a being who is pure of heart .
I was in Ethiopia in the late 1970s. It was just after the revolution, I remember seeing a lot of military around in public places. My father bought me a canvas mural from a street trader. It is painted in primitive styles and we had it translated. It tells the story of Queen Makeda (Queen of Sheba) and how she bore a son with King Solomon. One of the gifts the son took to his mother was the Ark of the Covenenant containing the Law of Moses tablets. If you are interested I can email you photographs of the mural with the story. I read the Sign and the Seal and my mural fits in well with the legends he explores.
Of course you right
@Robinson Pittman no point debating with morons.
Bro you've got to post pictures
Yes please!!
@Robinson Pittman the pyramids were found...not built by black people or whites... The technology becomes more primative the newer they are... Thats like us reverting back to horse and buggy from cars and trucks... think about it... These so called Egyptian would not forget how to construct such things...look at the European since the medieval times.... progress and progress.. it didn't go backwards to being more primitive but that's exactly what happened with the pyramids...just doesn't add up
So "they" say 24 years cannot be correct for the churches to be built, but the Great Pyramid at Giza was absolutely built in 20 years according to "they"!!!
joe GasKill , thank you.
Yes that sounds about right..
And "they" forget that the angels worked at night. Imagine how much work an angel could get done
Right? What a joke..
What I gather is that these churches are more difficult to construct than a pyramid.
The ark is in a U.S military warehouse, I saw it on a documentary with Harrison Ford.
CaptScratchy Beard doubt it.
@@originalgoldengoddess I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic. 🙂
Top...men...
Think i watched that same documentary...
Dun dun dun dun!!!!
Mind-boggling to think of the amount of work required to carve this out.
Tam Longkumer 24 years carving this is definitely doable. It’s volcanic rock which is easy to pick, probably a good few years hollowing it out though.
Recently 3 monks built 4 buildinga curved out of rocks in 4 years using primitive tools. Search "New Lalibela" in you tube.
@@greenpulseeducation5002 Thats a lie and its has been debunked. They didn't do sh!t they only showed another curved structure and claimed they built it Amharas are pathetic liars.
@@greenpulseeducation5002 Also they included Eritrea in their sh!tty map. Never in a million years you gonna take a piece of that land.
I think it was not a huge amount of work. I think the civilazation that built this is the same civilization that built the megalithic structures around the world. But there is proof that there were at least 2 different cultures that built with huge stones that quarried, transported shaped and placed the huge stones into structures and I think they did what was easy for them to do. They had the technology and different types of tools than we have today. If it was do difficult to do they would have worked with other resources, like we do. Wood glass, steel and concrete. Those are materials we have tools for and know how to use them. Let's face facts. Humans are lazy animals. We do the least amount of work and want the highest pay for doing it. Well... They probably didn't even get paid but they ate and protected each other from mega fauna so they developed tech that could work the resources that was at their disposal
Yea, the Ark is in there.
No, the priest will not let anyone in to see it.
Schrodingers Ark?
It's just like the super hot girlfriend I *totally* have but I don't ever let my friends or family see. She's totally real, you guys.
Wrong the ark never left His original land it’s real and Been discovered by an archaeologist named Ron wyatt and kept a secret also the picture of the ark on the Internet is fake
Zac realist what proof you have of it ? What connection does Egypt has with the Ark of convenant an holy relic of Christianity? Do you know what the Ark is? it’s the trône of God on earth! Guided and protect by Angels it’s not an artificial Egyptian could get in hold of it never! Go found Ron wyatt has the answer you seek
Zac realist Moses received the 10 commandements wrote on a stone tablet which is inside the Ark given to his people guided and protect into a temple of Solomon and his generations until the temple was distroyed by King Babylon but was saved kept secret by prophets Jeremiah during the raid finally found by an archaeologist, I’m not saying this against you instead is for the truth sake , the truth is no longer hidden but people choose to hide from the truth! Be blessed my friend
Zac realist yes he’s very blessed to found Noah ark , location of the real sodom and Gomorrah too, I’m glad to update you and many people of this amazing channel about the secret of the ark
Sure you are working your way down my bucket list!! These churches have fascinated me for some time. Another interesting and compelling video. You work so hard thanks Matt.
Thank you, Maureen
Very nice report. Idraulic features are little documented.
I am very happy to see the churches of Lalibela getting some attention, as there is not a lot of channels covering this. I think they are very interesting and should get more attention. The mystery of the Ark is also very compelling. I read the Sign and the Seal and it is fascinating!
Another thing to fascinate your curious minds...
Ethiopian Orthodox churches parade their ark replicas around during an annual holy day celebration.
That's a very comprehensive and well-document summary of the whole story linking the Ark of the Covenant and Ethiopia Matt. Most of what that has been told about it most probably consists in legends and subjective accounts. We can reasonably assume that what Ullendorf saw during his visit to the Church of Mary of Zion in 1941 was probably a "decoy" ! Who can imagine that the Ethiopian keepers of the Ark would have left almost free access to such a wonder just after a time period during which their land was brutally occupied by the Italian invadors for 5 years of war. If this wonder has ever existed, it must have been kept in a much safer place since these traumatic events. Thus, the mystery will certainly remain for many years...
Amazing what people were able to do. Who or what group would take on such a construction today?
It’s always interesting to think about what happened to the Ark, and what will happen if it is ever found again. It’s clearly one of the most influential artifacts in human history.
The Ark does exist! been found and kept secret in Israel discovered by an archaeologist named Ron Wyatt around 1990
I agree, the ark is one of the most influential artifacts in history. If you look at Biblical history you see how the ark affected the history of surrounding peoples. For example 1 Samuel Chapters 4-6 records what happened when the Philistines captured the ark in battle. They took it to the temple of their god, Dagon. God tore the statue apart and left it on the door step. They were horrified but would not return the ark to Israel until they started breaking out in tumors all over their bodies. Then it was returned posthaste. Also, Israel won ALL BATTLES where the ARK was displayed. That was why Hitler was looking for the ark.
Currently the Palestinians are desperately trying to find the ark before Israel does for obvious reasons. Question is, WHAT will happen when they do find it? Right now Israel claims to know exactly where it is. They are in the process of rebuilding the Third Temple and they must have it for the Holy of Holies. The ARK will reconnect the Jews to God. It's history in the making. Just in time for Tribulation and Armaggedon.
Pamela Smitley thanks for this great knowledge, indeed the ark play a big part on the end of times and proof of Christianity against other false religions, I highly suggest to found Ron wyatt evidence he has the truth you seek about the ark
Andro mache been searching about the Ark for a long time, I’m was shocked to find his secret it’s up to you guys
It's in there they moved it in World War and they bring it back we Orthodox Christians believe it is there the Holly Bible provit as well at end of the day it's your opinion but u will know one day u we're wrong!
Can you imagine the faces of people finding those buildings carved in stone... It's like *Really !?!*
I've been to the rock carved temples in India, and while reaaally impressive, the roughness and asymmetrry convinced me that they were not as advanced as hypothesized by various theorists.
@@carlosandleon Yeah but the idea alone makes it incredible. We marvel at structures made of blocks. Who carve a building out of stone. Even today it would take insane amount of wealth, legions of workers and it would still take decades.
@@MankindFails they had a lot of spare time. The pyramids were only build because the land was ripe for harvest for a very short time in tbe year. So farm work + storage was only done for like 2-3 months. And afterwards you either mope around doing nothing or get bored enough to start building shit.
@@MankindFails You cannot compare it one to one with todays standards because we value time differently
@@carlosandleon I'm not comparing with today, I'm only saying that even today it would be quite a stunning achievement. Today we make Skyscrapers, If you'd show the Burj Khalifa to whoever built these monuments, they'd be impressed too.
Thats cool Thanks for making another wonderfull video
Reaspect from Latvia 🧡
Hello and thank you!
Thought of Kailasa Temple thru the whole video, nice mention at the end.
Would be fun to hear your thoughts of other structures in india.
*Search praveen mohan vedios in youtube*
So interesting. Although I do think that the recessed temples in India being so incredibly ornate are even more baffling to behold. Where and how did they dispose of all the excavated material? Mysteries wrapped in enigmas, I find it all fascinating. Thanks so much for the outstanding quality of your efforts. I remain your devoted fan on the Olympic Peninsula. 🙂👍. TNQ
its a script in india regarding to kailasja tempel construction, that says they used a chemical that would evaporate the rock.
Priests refused a guy entrance to their most holy chamber so he entered with armed guards and then went about giving interviews about how common and unholy he judged the contents to be. That's kinda evil. It's one thing to talk about how one is fallen away from one's own faith and the doubts one may have, but it's a different thing to enter someone else's sanctum and then disparage their faith. I realize this has been done many other times in history and sometimes in the name of history or science, but I mean: armed guards to force one's way into a still-operating chapel? Messed up.
Colonialism of the Krown was filled with athrocity.
The priests knew it was impossible to stop the soldiers, probably the real object was hidden in advance.
@@argomagma Either that or the guy could be a liar and has just made up the entire story about even entering the room or even building for that matter.
@@thecopperminer6175 i believe they used always extreme violence to find every treasure in possession of their colonies.
Priests hide the truth, but the guy seeking the truth is the bad guy? That makes no sense. It reminds me of the Wizard of Oz; pay no attention to the guy behind the curtain!
Do you have photos or a link to original testimonial?
The people that carved these buildings from the volcanic rock, was so wise and did much more than simply crave amazing structures, they also included lots of instructions for later generations, such as:
1. They carved them, in such a way that later generations could build them from stone and wood. Look at the ceiling and windows. 4:46 and 3:43
2. They also showed how it could have been build by blocks (2:29, to the right) and also how a structure would look like if it had been hit by violent heat, (look at the right), and finally they also show that having stones hanging high up over the entrance is not a problem, and that it is easier to remove all the stone high up to the right, but down below is not important to flatten out the floor, again the building at 2:29.
3. The building at 4:02 and 8:56, shows how a roof should be build with wood, and how overhead windows can be integrated as arches. Again the carved, showing how blocks could be used, in the future and also how it is easier/more important for them to create the columns and walls of the "church", than making the roof perfect. So the part of the structure, that is easies to reach (the roof), has the poors finish. It is as if they wanted the roof to look burned, so that the roof beams after the tiles was burned away.
Wonder why these structures often are made from volcanic stone? These are in a regien that has some of the most active volcanos, so IMHO they were hit with super heated ash with no Oxygen available and later dug out. Many other structures are under the volcanic rock, and the tunnels are paths inside these buried structures. They dug out the ones that was most important for them.
At least they got the message and started building with wood and stones and can be seen here:

The way how the priests guard the ark remind me of the hollywood film "the fifth Element".
Also I always find the swastika windows to be a wonder of themselves.
Eritrea/Ethiopia is just so rich in history.
That's not a swastika, fool
Upvote for mentioning the Fifth Element
Swastik is belonging to hindhuism..(🕉️India)
For those of you who are skeptical of what Lalibela did, today, like Lalibela, 4 churches are built with just one stone, by one person and when he built it he used only hamer. And what do you say? If you don't believe me, you can search the 'new Lalibela'.
and also For those of you who are skeptical of Is the Ark of the Covenant in Ethiopia? you can read history of queen sheba
I wish I could have an Ethiopian friend love you guys so much than my country Nigeria 🇳🇬 😓😓 Love ur history

Fascinating! I was totally unaware of this entire complex. Should be a good read.
I once visited Petra in Jordan once the capital of the Nabataean Empire and its a shame that these monuments are of interest to some and not even known about by others. A great piece of educational history. Grazie.
The layout of the Lalibela complex calls to mind the circular arc of the archetypal Hero's Journey, complete with the forth and back transitions through the Void of the "River Jordan" splitting the circle to separate Earthly from (N)Ether Realms.
My intuition suggests starting in (1) before making a purposefully contemplative walk to (2) to proceed on a didactic, revelational tour of initiation which includes the crossing to an underground (n)ether realm after passing through the connection of (5-6) in order to find the way through dark tunnels to the welcome reprieve of Light provided at each Temple (7-11) before "Crossing" back, enlightened by knowledge and experience and thus allowed a dynamic newfound appreciation of (1) as (12) via (1-11).
The windows date the church of St, George. Interestingly shown as the top of the obelisk of Axum in the portrait of King Gebre Lalibela. They could not have been recarved so this is an intriguing piece of artistic licence. A nearby church Biete Denagel actually shows this carving style. It is 240 miles from Lalibela to Axum. An eight hour drive today but previously a one month walk.
Keep ng Solomon and the Queen of Sheba had a son. He took the Ark of the Covenant to Ethiopia and it has been there ever since.
Therz no proof of dna paternity of Malinek as Solomons son...besides the ark is in heaven Revelations 11 vs 19
@@princesibanda499 where would you get Solomon DNA 😂
Yesss the ark is in Ethiopia but no one can see it unless the priest who is assigned to protect it......... And lalibela is really the wonder of the earth
even if the real Ark was unveiled and revealed to the world some people STILL won't believe
Guys, we don't have to fight. I'm okay with bumping up to 9 Wonders.
Let’s round it up to 10
Interestingly that greenish yellow stain is the same colour the surface of granite goes when acid etched.
Never stop admiring the wonder of the ancient architects. These were extraordinary people that made things happened, almost the impossible to happen. Tks for the video Matt.
Wow! I love the video! Lalibela is amazing ❤️
The piles of rock dust from sculpting this out of the ground would be mixed with water to make mud rock and spread up the walls and on floors like plaster, and used for other applications. I'd say this was totally capable of being made within the stated two decades. They used sharpened tree limbs and repeatedly struck the rock which would crumble like dust. This is still done today. After the outside and inside plaster had dried to support the structure they were able to fully expand the inside rooms to make them one completely hollow space. The mud rock plaster didn't go anywhere, it mostly stayed there for its construction use.
With the basic Latin translation of pyre (fire) and mid (center) I wonder what would be inside a pyramid that is hot? The ark(s) are described as having divine heat, making their guardians die blind with cancer, etc ...perhaps they're cases of uranium? Maybe the ark was a fuel source for a large mechanical device? I love speculating over this kind of stuff. Thanks for the videos.
I've listened to a you tube channel that reported that the Ark is radio active and the single priest in charge of protecting it dies of radiation poisoning in about 20 to 30 years. They know it's gonna happen and they volunteer anyway. You know what they say, you can't fix stupid. Also I've heard that the Ark was. a power source
@@anthonybaransky137 i absolutely love this theory.
Nice Nice buildings.
That must be allot of work.
About the ark of convenant.
Well that's a big story.
That is a big story but seems ture, up to a point.
If you believe in the temple of solomon on the rock outcrop in Jerusalem then you must accept some of the story is factual up to a point. (the temple was there.)
I'm not talking about the fire and brimstone laser firing box....
That seems a little sketchy to me but believing there was a box that contained sacred writing "of God" is less of a stretch.
The problem is the religious legends hung on a glorified packing crate...
Of course, on the other hand it might have been some ancient lost tech with religious mumbo-jumbo used to try and explain to bronze age peoples would be unexplainable....
@@CS-zn6pp Well i don't what to think about the story in christian believe.
I am not saying it don't exist i do believe somehow it do.
How ever the point is allot places saying they have it.
One box over a 100 places impossible i think.
Where it is or can be found is an open question.
@@wazigeralph it's just like the "true" cross. If you go through everywhere that claim to have a bit the you probably have several trees worth if not more....
As for the arc..... well it was supposed to still be in Jerusalem when the Romans sacked the city and burnt down the temple so make your bets.... If there was any material value to the arc then I guess it was carted off to Rome with the rest of the loot....
1:49 What a load of BS. Ethiopian history is well documented. They even have the oldest and most complete bible in the world and it's written in their own language Ge'ez.
There were many versions of the ‘Bible’ , some of Ethiopia’s ones are wacky and that’s saying something lol
Would be so awesome to see those Ethiopian churches in person.....
I've also heard that the Ark is a power source that powered the great pyramid of Giza in which the pyramids construction amplified the power and wirelessly sent it through all of Egypt. That was what the ancients used for powering their tools for shaping stone and levitating megolithic rocks into placement
Biblically speaking, it is a possibility for the Ark of the Covenant to be in Ethiopia. The Queen of Sheba ( now Ethiopia) was recorded in the Bible to visit King Solomon during the end of his life. They had a child together and theologically speaking she accepted his faith and became a Jew. When he was certain of his coming death he sent her, their son and accompanying priests, teachers, and accomplished artists with her back to her home to keep them safe. This is where it gets interesting. It is theorized he sent the Ark with her because the days of Jerusalem were numbered. At Solomon’s death the city was sacked, but the Ark of the Covenant was never found.
Thank you.. i was hoping you would discuss this structure.
Who else talks like thiiiiis

Im glad im not the only one who noticed this im buckled 😂😂😂😂

@Paul Warner no Paul, it's not accent. I can assure you he probably doesn't talk like this normally. I think he's trying to sound clear but it's so artificial he really should chill a bit with it and use a more natural dictation style. Would be easier to listen to.
@Paul Warner grow a pair you snowflake
I saw this church in my dream. I don't recollect seeing the pic of it before. And now I see this video 😮
Wouldn't like to find this place in the dark
You too scary and goofie thats why
After listening to the news all day. I could not have clicked this video fast enough. Thanks for what you do.
Whata great documentary and great questions are asked.
I heard someone maybe Graham Hancock say the priest that guarded the ark was blind or almost blind and when asked about it he said "the ark is a thing of fire"
An amazing structure no doubt Matt, but have you come across the rock cut temples in Ellora, India - the Kailash Temple is absolutely incredible!
I love the Kailash Temple. Amazing and impossible structure.
I've been there
It's asymetrical and though impressive, the flaws do not convince me of some lost advanced civilization. Just maybe a lost art of stone cutting
@@carlosandleon They weren't "Carved" !! If they were, then we should see carving marks and scarp of rocks everywhere.
@@teddyissak2720 you do see the marks. have you been there?
I was also thinking Kailasa is way more intricate and mysterious!
Don't get me wrong...both sites are amazing but Kailasa takes the cake.
You are redefining the wonders of the world. Your work is invaluable, Matt.
Love Hancocks - Sign and Seal 👌🏽👍🏼
A rainy Memorial Day weekend spent with AA/Matt🤗
Peace.
Thanks for pictures.
Nice! Lalibela
Indeed 👍
Hopefully they can contract someone to do remediation on the foundation and stop it from falling. Ancient sites that have been destroyed should be rebuilt or repaired.
The people who procure the ark all develop an eye condition and die early. I cant remember where I saw that but it is something to look into. I had it I would also have decoy as well.
Yes, Kailasa temple and the Ellora caves are far bigger wonders where more stone has ”disapeared”.
If there is an ark so radiant, it would be kept shielded off, not behind a curtain.
Fascinating archaeology! Well done.
In the apocryphal book (that is, noncanonical book) of Second Maccabees, chapter 2 (verses 1-8), we read that the prophet Jeremiah "following a divine revelation, ordered that the tent [i.e. the tabernacle of meeting] and the ark [i.e. the ark of the covenant] should accompany him and how he went off to the mountain which Moses climbed to see God's inheritance [i.e. Mt. Nebo; see Deuteronomy 31:1-4]. When Jeremiah arrived there, he found a room in a cave in which he put the tent, the ark, and the altar of incense; then he blocked up the entrance." (vv. 4-5) There is some debate as to whether or not this second-hand account (see v. 1) is trustworthy.
So when did the Ark of the Covenant disappear? It seems that it disappeared sometime immediately prior to the Babylonian Captivity in the 6th century BC.
Oftentimes when we ask when did the Ark of the Covenant disappear, we also ask why? Why did God allow the Ark to be removed? We must keep in mind that not only did God allow the Ark to be removed from the Temple but that He also allowed the nation to be removed from the Promised Land and the Temple to be destroyed. This was in fulfillment of the consequences which He had outlined to Moses before the nation had even entered the land.
The nation was allowed to return and the Temple was rebuilt but the Ark was not permitted to return.
the original bible is not trustworthy in the first place

Inflection up, inflection up, inflection down.
i think it's quite nice and chill
4:00min how about, perhaps a structure somewhere else made of this same stone that no one knows where the quarry is ?
The Ark of the Covenant is interior, a symbol of an inner process. As for the Churches, there's no accurate record of their formation, they might well be pre-deluvian, like other such structures.
Yep - nobody can say for sure how old they are
Eddie Driftwood the ark is real... it’s just not in Ethiopia.
Deolen de Code that’s true , it never left his original land it’s real and been found by an archaeologist named Ron wyatt around 1990 but kept a secret
Exactly right mate, more than likely pre flood and inherited by later cultures who used their symbols as their own to create whatever they felt it represented
I would like more ppl to come to the idea that these sites around the world are either the results of Denisovans or even Neanderthals!
Pre-deluvian? How can Christian churches predate Christianity by thousands of years? That's no different from the flat earthers who claim that NASA and the UN have been hiding the shape of the earth for 500 years when they haven't even existed for 100.
It seems highly unlike these were repurposed fortifications, the design is completely wrong. How would you defend something when you are in a hole? These were clearly always meant to be places of worship with a 'privileged' entry point.
P.S they got rid of the spoils by digging another hole and filling it with them...
Yep - but are the pre-Christian? 🤔
@@AncientArchitects I would 'guess' yes, there seems nothing typically Christian about their construction. Christians would have used the stone to build a large church on the nearest hill so everyone could see how grand the faith was. This is a far more ancient way of constructing a building by carving it out of a rock face. I thought the theory was that Christianity only came to the region when the Ark was supposedly transported away from Jerusalem for safe keeping.
This is one of your best videos. Thoughtful research and attention to detail.
How do you know if it's a replica if you never seen the original one to begin with?
Cos its not old enough
how precisely do you determine that.

Maybe Ullendorff said there's nothing special about the ark as a means of protection for it. If he'd said it was the real thing, the place would have been besieged within hours.
I know an Ethiopian woman who insists that they have the Ark and they are not telling where it is.
It's very weird that there so persistent in saying they hold the arc, but nobody crazy has ever tried to raid it?
The Ark of the Covenant is a generator that still works. It’s buried in the right paw of the Sphinx. It’s powered by the sun. It was left there by the Andromedans.
🤨
Love your videos mate, good job. x
If they're hiding it, then WHY would they tell you they had it and why not show you a generic "replica"?
we want to show you...but you cant handle it...trust me you will see it. dead or alive.
Theres multiple replicas made similar in every single church in ethiopia.. and the place is known but they won't show it off
The Ark is the Bark of Ammon or Amun. You can see depictions of it at several Egyptian temples .
Amazing but what I want know is how would you go about carving some thing like that to day? What tools would you use would it be possible by hand by some one today.
One possibility of how it was created could be fire followed by cold water to "shock" and crack the rock making it easier to remove. I don't know what the technique is called but it's used to this day by stonemasons around the world. In colder climates they drill holes or cut grooves, fill with water, let it freeze then the expanding ice breaks the rocks. Other techniques are "chipping" where the rock is struck at just the right angle to cleave off small pieces going with the grain in the rock. It's really not so amazing once you know how but it's still a lot of physical labor and time-consuming. I suppose the missing excavated rock was crushed and used somehow or traded for other goods and that's why they "can't find it."
Am I the only one getting irritated by his way of talking?
Jada Williams nah it’s just you snowflake.
nope. its awful
@Paul Warner I'm also English and it's not his accent that I find irritating. It's the weird end of sentence cadences.
They should build a Church on it.... oh wait
Haha
If you buy this Zionist horse poop, YOU are just as much of a useful idiot Freemason as Graham Hancock himself and even the Old Testament itself makes it VERY CLEAR that there were MANY IMPOSTER relics "pretending" to the one arch. If something was found way back in the 90's when Hancock SHILLED it to YOU sheep in a sales pitch book, common sense says that is just one of those MANY IMPOSTERS and not the real artifact.
Why would the builders go to such lengths to build this church in such fine detail then leave the walls of the containing hole in such a rough condition? It is almost as if they were planning to lift it out in one piece!.
Thank you for a great presentation of our real history🙏👍👏
Why wouldn’t you put a dummy arc in the room behind a curtain and put the real arc somewhere underground? People see what they want to see. This guy obviously wanted to prove the arc wasn’t there so he gave up as soon as he saw something he thought wasn’t old. If all modern copies of the arc are based on the old arc, the styling might not be easily dated. Also, the arc is just a box. What’s inside the arc is what matters. Things can be re-gilded, restyled. I hold no stock in what some academic said after he committed an armed break in. So case not closed.
My friends lived there , IT IS THERE. The book of Enoch is there too . Like THE ORIGINAL ONE.
srspam menot fake news
Praise the Lord
The tradition of building rock hewn churches is still alive in Ethiopia. There have been built around 40 churches like this in the last 50 years. Some just from a single person
Great vid bud
I saw a documentary that is kept at Fort Campbell Army Installation in Kentucky back in 1980 and the he Ark was shown by Ethiopian priests or monks it was made of solid gold and was filmed at the time. The Ethiopians are the only people in the entire world who have ever claimed to have the Ark. They have protected it for centuries. And the US knows full well that it is there. The reason no one will move it is because when they tried to move it they probably died.
Who's year in 2020 that saw that one tiktok
Has anyone ever done a count of all of the “eighth wonder of the world” out there?.....
There’s eight I think
never , because it was wonder
Makes one wonder, doesnt it?
I want a closer look at those second story window frames. That would help my research.
A man who goes to a Church with armed men and threatens monks! It is obvious that he is NOT A BELIEVER and no wonder that he denies te truth about the presence of the ark in Ethiopia. He doen't even believe in the existance of the arc in any part of the world. MAY GOD SAVE HIS SOUL!
As always, excellent video sir!
BIGGEST MYSTERY.
WHY HAS NO ONE EVER TAKEN ETHIOPIA ?
Lol italy did, plus its a wasteland that struggles to feed its own population.
@@rahowherox1177 nop, we kicked italy with in 5 hours battel....1896 battel of adwa
Did wonder if you’d ever talk about the rock cut church 🌟🌟
so they say this had to take longer then 24 years to build but the great pyramid took less the 20 years to build . lets me know that these people dont know what they are talking about .
1st trans Co. Buck 1-5 24 years to build all the church’s not the one but yeah no one knows anything really it’s all speculation
Don't know about the rest of the vid, but was absolutely stunned by the news of the "Dodgers horrific collapse against Nationals" headline that was at 7:56.......
Jamie Theakston was unsuccessful in getting to the bottom of this mystery so it's safe to say that we'll never know.
Thanx again , Matt❤⛰❤really great stuff💛
