So can the Israeli Defense Force carry it into battle and then the God of Abraham will smite all those palestinian and arab terrorists?

Sounds like a good deal to me.

"Isn't that where the Holy Grail is?"

No, it fell into a deep chasm after a raider removed it from a cave guarded by a really old knight.

Another wonders just what that would mean if the Ark was found again.

A lawsuit. Egypt will want the gold back.

[SaveTheChief]

That's it... Ethiopia.

I didn't realize this. The only reason I knew anything about it was the History Channel, and whenever they do anything related to the Bible, I tend to take it with several grains of salt.

Mount ARRARAT ping.

My "crock detector" went off early during this article and kept sounding throughout.

Indy Jones, not Endy Jones. What a laugh. The whole family sounds like nutcases to me.

If we dug up the entire area, most people would still not believe.

Weird.

*BUMP* and ((( ping ))) ! Thanks for posting this great find! I hope and pray this Dr. Vendyl Jones report is true.

Mount ARRARAT ping.

No, the other Ark.

[wideawake]

The real Arc of The Covenant - or a facsimile made from the original by the son of Solomon and Sheba - is in Ethiopia, in a monastery on an island in the middle of a lake.

(1) There is no record that King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba (her name was probably not Sheba) ever had a child or any relationship other than a conversation in the course of a formal state visit.

It is not attested in the Scriptures.

It is a legend among Ethiopians.

(2) The presence of the Ark in Ethiopia is also a folk legend which does not have a scrap of documentary or physical evidence - despite the efforts of many archaeologists to track it.

(3) According to the Ethiopians it is not in a monastery, but in a church.

(4) That church, the Chapel of the Tablet of Our Lady Maryam of Zion, is not located on an island in a lake but in the town of Aksum, right in the downtown area.

The only people who are allowed into the sanctuary are male Ethiopian Orthodox believers. There has never been any external confirmation of whether it's there, and probably most guests to the sanctuary never even see it.

"I hope and pray this Dr. Vendyl Jones report is true."

Not a chance, the Ark is lost in a huge Government warehouse here in the USA.

[Hank Rearden]

That's nonsense. The History Channel says the Ark is in Somalia, or some North African country. The History Channel wouldn't be wrong, would it?

I saw that pr%$*-teasing show while channel surfing. The intro says it's "digging for the truth", then after an hour of going in circles yakking to Third Worlders, it ends with "we don't know, but if they believe it - isn't that good enough for us as well?"

What crap.

[notigar]

The commercials on the History Channel are more reliable than this guy.
