A group of Torah-believing Christians in Arum, Ethiopia say that the Ark of the Covenant is safely held in their town where it has been guarded by a succession of individual virgin monks since the time of Solomon, who was King of Israel ca 973 - ca 933 BCE.
The Kings of Ethiopia all the way up to the last, Haile Selassie, claimed descent from Menelek, the son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. The legend is that when Menelek went to Judah to visit his father, he returned with several prominent Israelites who secretly brought the Ark with them. When Menelek discovered that the Ark was in Ethiopia and that God had not struck him dead, he decided that God wanted him to protect it.
Torah-believing Christians use the first five books of the Bible (the Torah) as their primary scriptures and have a strongly Old Testament based theology. They view Jesus as the Messiah and follow the Old Testament dietary rules.
