ZADOK the high priest of Israel- precursor of the myth of zadokeli?

I have always suspected that the Ewes of Ghana were part of the lost tribes of Israel (similar to the Falashas of Ethiopia). Yesterday after reading about "zadokeli" the god who reportedly appeared in 1947 in Aflao during the last eclipse, I did some research on Google and Wikipedia ( where else). After a lot of research last night and this morning before breakfast I have a theory that we are the direct descendants of Zadok, the high priest of Israel.

Indeed Zadok may be the precursor of the myth of zadokeli ( which translates as nightlight or Zadok's light)

Zadok was a son of Ahitub, of the line of Eleazar (2 Samuel 8:17; 1 Chronicles 24:3), high priest in the time of David (2 Sam. 20:25) and Solomon (1 Kings 4:4). He is first mentioned as coming to take part with David at Hebron (1 Chr. 12:27, 28). During the rebellion of Absalom, Zadok gained still greater prominence. He and the Levites wished to accompany the fleeing David with the Ark of the Covenant, but the king begged them to remain at Jerusalem, where they could do him better service

Zadok and Abiathar acted as high priests on several important occasions but when Adonijah endeavoured to secure the throne, Abiathar went with him, and therefore Solomon "thrust him out from being high priest," and Zadok, remaining faithful to David, became high priest alone. He was succeeded in his sacred office by his son Azariah Source- WIKIPEDIA
