The Quest To Find The Ark Of The Covenant In Ethiopia | Keepers Of The Lost Ark | Timeline 

As a Greek I’ve read many sources in which my ancestors held great respect and admiration for Ethiopia. I can now see why. I admire their customs and traditions as well as their beliefs. Beautiful country, amazing archeological sites and soothing natural formations. Nice documentary.

I'm Assyrian Orthodox. I loved this documentary. God bless! ☦️☦️☦️

I have spent time in Ethiopia. It's a truly special place. I love Ethiopia.

Bless you brothers and sisters from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland

I am from Romania we are orthodox Christian. I salute our brothers from Ethiopia.✌💕

I love my Ethiopian Christian brothers and sisters from Philippines ♥️

Beautiful land beautiful people this fills my heart with joy seeing the faith of orthodoxy so alive I would love to go here one day.

Would love to visit the beautiful country of Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and do this pilgrimage 😍 God willing 🙏🏽

What a wonderfully gracious and kindhearted people. Their welcoming atmosphere and generosity is remarkable. We can learn a lot from them.

Some comments about this video. First we thank you for coming to Ethiopia and visiting the holy sites. I accidentally visited your post about the lost Ark. Some of the information you shared are not correct. 1. Ethiopia isn’t in North Africa. You may need to check your geography. Ethiopia is located in in East Africa. 2. Lalibela church was not built after his death by Angels as you mentioned it here. Although, some fathers mentioned about the help from above, it wasn’t after his death. 3. The women who got sprayed on her face with holy water wasn’t re- christening. The holy water sprayed by the priest is for illness or to remove bad spirit. Christening is given at 80th and 40th day of birth once for girls and boys respectively. But if you come for the first time to Ethiopian orthodox(EOTC) believes, you may get baptised at any age once you learn and believe in EOTC teaching. 4. About the first Ark given to Moses, I don’t think your guid understood your question. In Ethiopian Orthodox Church, each church has an Ark which we believe is a replica of the 1st Ark with similar power. The Ark of covenant given to Moses was kept in one place. 5. The Icon on Gondar Selasse church is not the three wise men, It is the Icon of Holy Trinity (God the father , God the son, and God the Holy Spirit). Sometimes it is good to know the believes and history of the country before even heading to that specific country. This is a huge mistake and misinformation. 6. Epiphany (Timiket) celebration in Gondar isn’t re-christening as I mentionedit it on number 2. Although it is celebrated in a special spirituality in Ethiopia, Epiphany is celebrated not all Orthodox Church in the world. 7. Great conclusion after Timiker(epiphany) at Gonder. 8. Finally if you went to Ethiopia for the lost Ark, you should have gone to Axum for more information in northern Ethiopia. 9. I appreciate your dedication doing all this by yourself but I would suggest you should have a good interpreter and asked scholars before publishing it on RU-vid. 10. If you ever want to go again, please don’t assume something ask the scholars.

Many respect and love to Ethiopians, the unique sources of pride to Africans and the planet earth💚💛❤. I love the Brave Lions, the Ethiopians. God bless Ethiopia! Your African brother, who loves Ethiopia and Ethiopians too much.

May the lord continue to bless mama Ethiopia!! I'm from Belize central America!!✌🙏🌎💖🇧🇿🇪🇹

the people of Ethiopia are beautiful. God bless

God bless Ethiopia, Land of origin.

The Translator isn’t translating it right. When you ask if the Ark of the covenant here. He translate it by saying is the Ark here? And the priest says yes we do have it here. Remember every Ethiopian Orthodox Church has replica of the Ark. they start doing that to confuse Invaders who came to destroy the church thousands of years a go and now it’s a tradition to have the replica of the true ark of the covenant and that is what the priest is referring to when you ask him if his church has the Ark.

For some reason, I develop the love and caring for the people of Ethiopia.

Never imagined Ethiopia to be such a diverse, culturally rich, beautiful and historic land. They might not have much money, but they have tons of character and history to make up for it...

My eyes have spoken after seeing this beautiful documentary, thank you and God bless.

True nature which has not been change since ages .God bless Africa God bless my home land Ghana(gold coast) Gold bless Ethiopia

I had some coworkers who were from Ethiopia.Great people very nice and one had an incredible sense of humor and a name no one was able to pronounce!

I visited Ethiopia years ago and this brought back lots of memories.

I just love Ethiopia. It is such a lovely place! Great documentary David Adams!

It was a thrill to watch the making of the papyrus (paper) canoe and then see it make such a long journey successfully. The banjo music was clearly of deep roots and obviously resonates in Irish and Scottish music and Americana. The people and the culture are lovely and the land magnificent. Lots of love, strength and courage. Thank you for posting this.

💚💛❤ as an American catholic, I am obsessed w Ethiopia 💚💛❤✝️

Beautiful people, may God protect and provide. Blessed always.

Never reveal your sacred knowledge to an outsider that was one of Africa's worst down fall

The ark is exactly where it is supposed to be.

Everyone celebrating in the water had me in tears. What a beautiful and faithful people💙

Getting high and watching this documentary makes my night ☺️ Much love my ppl

You know who else have the hardest 20 miles. Basically it’s his camera man.

21:54 Like everywhere in Africa death is part of life. I'd like to correct that, "everywhere in the WORLD death is part of life"

These people are as old as time. Beautiful! And connected to our Saviour!

I love their attitude - they have it & don't have to prove it to anybody!

Thank you for sharing this. Being able to glimpse an ancient and beautiful region that I may never get to see in person is a valuable gift. Now I know more about the people, too. Not just those in far away Ethiopia itself, but also those who live nearby. How fascinating that these are Christians, practicing a very ancient form of the faith. We both know and love Jesus Christ. How beautiful! May God bless us all. Much respect to Adams and his crew for actually walking with the people on that pilgrimage, eating the food, trudging mile after mile, canoeing across Lake Tana. A very arduous journey! Thank you! Btw, Ethiopian food is delicious. Try it sometime!

This people are pure and don't aim for power Fame and money that's why they been chosen as the keeper no doubt about that life with true happiness and love. As for the teaching of our Lord stay simple and don't be jealous about the wealth power of others.there are things that destined to be hidden keep that way.

The greatest achievement of my life was to be able to visit Ethiopia many times. If I knew what I know now I probably would still be there.

Miraculous! And something we should treat with great respect.

The first time I met an Ethiopian I thought, what a beautiful woman.

I love these precious Hebrew people the true people of the Book! Yah bless and protect them!

The best way to hide the Ark is to have many replicas in different churches but the real one is probably hidden in plain sight

God Bless Them And God Bless Us All...

eelellelllelelellelelellllellle I am proud to be an orthodox and ethoipian

I’m proud to be Ethiopian,also proudly orthodox the power of the earth we all safe by God

This is an amazing journey, I never realize Ethiopia has such ancient wonders.

Greetings from the 🇵🇭 the only Catholic in the far East (Asia,,,) with Muslim brothers. 🇪🇹 was part of biblical history we must have to remember.

Beautiful brothers and sisters ♥

The book of Enoch was located in Ethiopia 🇪🇹, this is amazing the history keepers

David... thanks for this opportunity to enjoy the Etiopía culture and its people. I have a coworker who is from there and in one of our community parties she shared her culture food and religion believe. It was so lovely how they treat their guess. They are so humble people with a big heart. If you are looking for the lost Ark of The covenant... After Jesus Christ resurrection it was taken from the earth. If you look on the David temple... in Jerusalem it was there but as soon as Jesus Christ died and then resurrected, it was taken with Him to heavens... the cortine that separate The Holy place from the secrete place was rip apart in the temple. Therefore The Holy Angels took the ark to heavens because after Jesus Christ resurrection it has not never found since then. The reason is because the Ark of the convent was the Ten Commandments written on two stone. It was the rules Almighty Holy God gave to the Israel people. The Jews. However, when Jesus Christ paid the sacrifice on the Cruz with His own life, living a perfect life who was unsinful man to the cross. He represent the new convert between men and God. Therefore, The Ten commandments plus the new one He gave to us instead of been written in a stone, Jesus Christ wrote them on your heart. When you take your time and study The Holy Bible with great interest. It will give you testimony, what I said is truth. Then, when you let His Holy Spirit get into your heart, He will show you the wonders of been a truly Christian life and knowing The Truth God, That The Holy Bible talk about. Israel literally lost the truth covenant with God. When Jesus Christ returns, He will take home the Israel spiritual. His people who believe and have faith in Him. The Holy Bible speaks so clear about Him. At the same happened with The Tree of life... it was taken too heavens because the earth was so much into sinful era... that Almighty Holy God took it. Thank you for this video. I wish you good luck in your journey. 🌺🦋

The opening statement threw me off when he said "deep within the mountains of north Africa" north Africa? How is Ethiopia north Africa?

Excellent documentary, Ethiopia seems to me a beautiful place with happy and welcoming people. The preserved traditions were what impressed me most besides the curiosity of reading an ancient Ethiopian Bible.

I don't think these people cares about western money or riches as long as they know the Yah they serves. As it was written in revelation 2vs 9 I know thy works and tribulations and poverty, (but thou art rich). That's what Bible says.

Love Ethiopia from India

Excellent documentary. I loved every minute of it.

definitely, i am going to Ethiopia, i have alot class mates from Ethiopia

Such humble people. Keep you documentary coming David @timeline

Ethiopia is a POWERFUL but "secret" country!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD always bless Ethiopia please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really enjoyed that. Brilliant . Love from Ireland

this Ethiopian family, he travelled with, proves that happiness comes from the love that binds them, not from earthly possessions, which they have little to none of. ty for a nice documentary.

Another fascinating journey through a country few Westerners ever get to see. I however, was privileged, as a member of the UK Royal Air Force, to visit Ethiopia in 1985 as part of a Famine Relief effort. During my stay there I went up country to help set up the 'drop zone' for food being dropped in by the Red Cross and other nations. Thank you David Adams for yet another wonderful documentary.

Their faith and devotion is beautiful!

I love these series and get a lot of my answers watching them! Thx for uploading 🙏🏼🇮🇷

This is a truly beautiful documentary. I appreciate your knowledge but I respect even more your introspection as well as your attention to keeping everything considerate, compassionate and respectful. Thank you so much!

What amazing stone work, not out of bricks, nor does it seem to be cut stones, but natural stones worked into castles and other amazing structures!

This documentary was very interesting, really enjoyed watching this!

this was truly wonderful , amazing how humble an down to earth these people are yet there faith brings them together as one : they may not have all the things we take for granted but they share much more than we will understand an know.Thank you for sharing this it was heartwarming.uk

There might be a divine reason as to why they were not colonised then so that priest could find a complex way to protect and hide that ark

I didn't know that Gordon Ramsey was into ancient archeology!

ኢትዮጵያዬ ሀገሬ የረቂቅ ሚስጢር ባለቤት ዛሬ ብትወድቂ ብትደቂ ኃያሉ አምላክ እግዚአብሔር እመቤቴ ቅድስት ድንግል ማርያም ግን አይተዉሽም ለዘላለም ፀንተሽ ትኖሪያለሽ!!

Beautiful documentary! Blessings to our Ethiopian brothers and sisters 🙏🏼💕💖

Amazed at such charity by one of the poorest countries in the world, why can’t modern civilisation learn a few lessons from these lovely people ? Devoted men spending their existence in hollows shows devout faith whether it’s true or not maximum respect should be given. A civilisation that’s untouched by the 21st century but yet such a strong bond of togetherness. Think about that for a moment

2nd country in Africa that never Been colonized ; proud to be from East Africa 🇪🇷🇪🇹 love or culture and religion.

When the British discovered that the Ethiopian Christian Bible had the books of Enoch they're quite shocked that an African country would have more information in their Bibles than they did. These books of Enoch go into more detail explaining about Genesis. This historical information our modern churches tend the not expand on. When King Solomon ruled a large part of the middle east, an Ethiopian ruler Queen of Sheba, she a child to him and therefore the religion of Judaism was introduced into Africa, hence they kept all of the writings and letters andcincluded them in their Bible instead of excluding them like the Western Romans.

"A kind welcome is better than a hearty meal".. This quote resonates best with the Ethiopian people..The country suffering from severe drought and famine yet they happy and content and most of all, everybody is kind and loves to share even a simple meal with eachother gladly..They support eachother in times of sorrow and seem to enjoy the simple life without worrying about anything.. Watching this makes me realize that I need not grumble about the little things that I couldn't have but be glad and thankful with the life that I've been blessed with.

I applaud your interest and initiative to know more. But the video is filled with some wrong information about Ethiopia and Ethiopian Orthodox church. - No animal sacrifices are made in Church- even in early times. Animal sacrifices were made during the judaic times - Before christ. So ethiopia was worshiping God and was following the law of Moses before christ came. - Ethiopia is not in North Africa - it is in east africa. - There is only one Ark of the Covenant but every church in Ethiopia has a replica of it- which one can understand as a witness Christ is God of all ages(both old and new testament). The Ark of the Covenant that God gave to Moses is in Aksum. - Ethiopia is not a desert country. Especially the highlands receive above 2000 mm of rainfall every year. The lowlands of the east can be arid. It seems like the media has clung to the famine of 40-50 years ago that was caused by the political mishaps of communist regime and a civil war and just deduce the climate of the region. - many more I recommend viewers not to take the information presented here to heart and read more if interested. But I applaud the effort.

I love Ethiopia they are amazing people ❤️🙏🇪🇹

What a beautiful & colorful people of Ethiopia. They had God and Faith. Sadly some religion apostate had Faith but No God.

What a unique group of people the Ethiopia. I wish was younger and healthier I would like to take that Pilgrimage in Ethiopia. Growing up in the 50's we were never taught much of anything about Ethiopia and their history because they were a poor Country. How sad is that. Anyway thank you for sharing.

GOD BLESS ETHIOPIA

He sounds like a spy, a Harrison Ford and his friends. Top secret.

I'm a Roman Catholic in the Philippines. God Bless to this country.

It's a secret. Better to keep it that way. Beautiful people ❤

Amazing documentary! I watched it so many times. Thank you so much David. God Bless.

Blessed be my people your endurance is unrivalled.

“Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.” Revelation‬ ‭11:19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

A quick tip to skip ads: Fast forward to the end, then hit replay. Video will appear with no ads. You're welcome 😉

6:25 - he comments how significant it is that such a poor country shows such generosity with food, then proceeds to insult his host's beer.

Too many thanks for Mr.Adams , for introducing Ethiopia to the world.

That is a great reason for a journey; I would do it myself!

Some of my students were from there / thank you for this show !

Love it! Looked like an amazing adventure

GreatEthiopia 🇪🇹 amen 🙏🏼 great documentary 😇🙏🏼

This is a beautiful video that has shared the love and honor for Christianity. Their pilgrimage is a feat to worship our Holy Father God and the Lord Christ Jesus that many of us will never tarry. Thanks for this lovely video, it has been most awe inspiring. God bless these beautiful Ethiopians 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

6:13 Ethiopia is not desperately poor!!!

Ethiopia is beautiful... What an amazing family,enjoyed watching

I found Ethiopean and Somali Women to be amongst the most beautiful I have ever seen. Tall, slim, curvy, with very beautiful faces and hair.

I first heard of the history of the Ark of the Covenant and it has always intrigued me. I am now hearing that there may be three. One is in Jerusalem under the Dome of the Rock, don't know about the other. Talk is that it contains technology from the Space civilizations that visited planet Earth. Thank you David, surely do appreciate you sharing your quest. Love and respect from Australia. (Beyond Mystic described this land as having a portal on the coast at the entrance to the Red sea; MelK also refers to Jerusalem as the other sacred site.)

I grew up in a small town in The Philippines and we use to make a homemade coffee from our backyard coffee tree. I was so jealous watching the journalist sipping with a homemade coffee! I need to grow a coffee tree more!

Host: I'm off to find the Ark ! Also Host: Whot iS a rEligion ? I cAn't bElieVe pEopLe stiLL hAve thEm.

I cant go on without appreciating the journalist for his well described program.

Ethiopia is not north african country, it is east african country! You keep saying north african all throughout your documentary. I think its very big mistake. You should learnt your geography well!😐😐😐😐😐😐
