Ancient
Books of Lake Tana Region
AIZON P.L.C.'s founders are advocating through
the regional and federal administration to convert the Bahar
Dar royal palace into a repository for the centuries-old historical
and religious books found in ancient churches and monasteries
in the region. Alternatively, a registration of the books
at their current locations could enhance preservation of this
heritage. Under the current conditions, these ancient books
are not always adequately preserved and may be subject to
financial speculations by certain types of visitors. These
books are unique testimonies of the Ethiopian religious and
historical past which were at the very place where the Arc
of Covenant is said to have come to Ethiopia.
