Archaeologists unearth Queen of Sheba's Palace at Axum
Addis Ababa, May 8 (WIC) - Archaeologists believe that they have found the Queen of Sheba's Palace at Axum, and an altar, which held the most precious treasure of ancient Judaism, the Ark of the Covenant, the University of Hamburg said Wednesday.
According to The Earthtimes online news, scientists from the German city made the startling find during their spring excavation of the site over the past three months.
The university said scientists led by Helmut Ziegert had found remains of a 10th-century-BC palace at Axum-Dungur under the palace of a later Christian king.
The research at Axum, which began in 1999, is aimed at documenting the origins of the Ethiopian state and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
