Some may have run across this but just to bring it forward, the Ark is
supposedly located in Ethiopia in the Orthodox Church St. Mary of Zion in
Aksum. There have been numerous shows on this, i.e. the History Channel,
Mysteries of the Bible etc. One can do a search on those key words "Ark"
"Ethiopia" etc at Google.
But, as I understand it, no outsiders have ever been allowed to see this
alleged Ark. Now this makes sense in terms of the HB prohibitions on
anyone other than the High Priest entering the Holy of Holies - but it
does make it impossible to verify whether what is hidden away at Aksum
is the real ark, an ancient or not so ancient copy, or maybe even
nothing at all.
