Inside a Monastery on an island in Lake
Tana. Local legend has it that the Arc of
the covenant was kept here for centuries...

Moses was without any doubt a very important person in history! In the old Testament he is described as a Prophet who against all odds guided the Jewish people to their homeland. In places he is also described as a magician or a sorcerer which he was not! His name derives from mo which means water and ses, the saved one ; so all together: the one who was saved from the water! As a son of a Pharaoh he studied and was taught by the high priests in the Osiris temple hieroglyphics and secret sciences. Moses was definitely a Ker-Heb (a high priest). His knowledge to build the Arc proves his high technological skills not understood until today! The Arc was not a mere carrier of the stone tablets; it was a powerful tool to assist him in order to control the Israelites! It averted many revolts as well as giving a genuine encouragement to fight the enemies! A lot has been written about Moses and at the same time there are conflicting stories about his whereabouts! Nobody is sure where he spend three decades of his life! Thanks to Flavious Josephus, a rabbi who lived in 75 AD, we know something about Moses life. Having access to many manuscripts and papyri that do not exist anymore, most probably from the Alexandrian famous library, he left us an informative book: the antiquities of the Jews. Flavious Josephus insists that during his fortieth and 80th year, Moses was in Ethiopia for many years! Also in the Old Testament, Numbers 12 there is a hint that he was even married to an Ethiopian! (Have a look yourself !) Scholars say that he must have also spend some time in Sinai, most probably in a remote place called today Serabit al Gadim (the old summit). There the famous archeologist Petrie unearthed many findings and some stone tablets with an ancient Hebrew script! At the time of Exodus he was almost 80! |

During
the ‘Exodus’, most Jews followed Moses along the
known route through the Red Sea and the Sinai. At that time, I
believe another group, either because they lost the main group or
deliberately because of a disagreement, went south. This southern route
was not well guarded and Pharaoh’s soldiers followed the main group
anyway. The destination of the breakaway group was the highlands of
Ethiopia, a known route since it had been used in times past by the
Pharaohs to bring in their elephants, other goods, and maybe even
slaves.  Back

Numbers 12 (reading from King James authorized Bible) 1While they were in Hazeroth, Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married; (for Moses he had indeed married a Cushite woman) 2 and they said, "Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also? " Back
