Many of our religious and historical artifacts, including those from the 13th century, have been sold online, particularly on eBay, for a few hundred dollars. The Times, The Sun, The Independent, The Australian and several international media outlets have been covering the issue since yesterday.

 As you can see in the picture, ancient religious texts, engraved books, scriptures, crosses and other items that are part of Ethiopia's rich history are on sale.

 According to The Times, the artifacts may have been looted from churches and monasteries in the region during the Tigray war. I also recently published an article stating that a large number of antique weapons, including those used by Emperor Menelik II and Queen Jumbe, have been sold out this year. 

Who, then, is involved in the sale of such a country's history?

 We should all ask why, because it is part of our history. War comes, goes, lives are lost. Like the atrocities committed during the war, such sales of history have been a constant source of frustration for generations. Remember again

In this regard, both the Archaeological Conservation Authority and the Ethiopian Heritage Committee should provide information to the public.
