Bible buzz begins as hunters wait to view Ten Commandments box
Ark hunters and Bible enthusiasts are buzzing about a report that the Ark of the Covenant, the ancient container that holds the Ten Commandments, is expected to be unveiled in Rome today.
As WND reported, the patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia says he will announce to the world the unveiling of the Ark, which he says has been hidden away in a church in his country for millennia, according to the Italian news agency Adnkronos.
Abuna Pauolos, in Italy for a meeting with Pope Benedict XVI this week, told the news agency, "Soon the world will be able to admire the Ark of the Covenant described in the Bible as the container of the tablets of the law that God delivered to Moses and the center of searches and studies for centuries."
According to the Italian news agency, the announcement is expected to be made at 2 p.m. Italian time (8 a.m. Eastern) from the Hotel Aldrovandi in Rome. Pauolos will reportedly be accompanied by Prince Aklile Berhan Makonnen Haile Sellassie and Duke Amedeo D'Acosta.
"The Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia for many centuries," said Pauolos. "As a patriarch I have seen it with my own eyes and only few highly qualified persons could do the same, until now."
Bob Cornuke, biblical investigator, international explorer and best-selling author, has participated in more than 27 expeditions around the world searching for lost locations described in the Bible. A man some consider a real-life Indiana Jones, he has written a book titled "Relic Quest" about the Ark of the Covenant and participated in History Channel production called "Digging for Truth."

And whatever they do, I hope no one tries to touch or move it! (See 2 Samuel 6:6-7).
Micheal Dead!?!
Ark Revealed !?!
Coincidence !?
I Think Not!
I’m familiar with that passage. Some things just need to be left the hell alone. It’s been hidden for thousands of years for a good reason.
Exactly. Just ask that Nazi fellow. If he had a face he’d agree with me.
I'm ready.
Thanks ,
7 min. to go,turn on CNN and watch the LIBTARDS Melt!
Don’t forget the dead Sasquatch last year.
The Qur’an (2:248) states the following: “Their prophet said to them, “The sign of his kingship is that the Ark (of the Covenant) will come to you, containing serenity from your Lord and certain relics left by the families of Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron). It will be borne by angels. There is a sign for you in that if you believe.”
“real-life Indiana Jones”
Does he carry a whip and a gun?
Oh, it appears Michael Jackson died.
You said — Oh boy. Isn’t this like an sign of the apocalypse or something?

Ummm..., no..., it’s more like the “sign” of the impending opening of a museum and the announcement of the admission rates... LOL...
If this thing is being opened for the first time, we just might find out where all the missing socks from our dryers have gone.....
Don’t concern yourself with the missing link, they find a new one ever so often, which gets discredited as a fake or a monkey. Got to keep that funding you know.
...and all the ink pens...
And just where are the apes’ ancestors?
Do they have to find their own?
You’re right, though, every “missing link” is either a FULL human that they “ape-ize”, or a FULL ape that they “humanize”.
And all my previous car keys...
