It would be cool if they could find the Ark of the Covenant like in Indiana Jones. A friend of mine told me, when we were kids, that when she asked her mom what happened to the Ark of the Ten Commandments, her mom said that God eventually just took it up into heaven. I don't know where she got that idea from, though. I doubt if it's true, if the Bible doesn't say anything about it. I suppose it's probably buried underneath a whole bunch of sand somewhere.

That's easy.

Its in a Christian Church in Ethiopia.

Im not sure if the Coptic church has the story also but Ethiopia contains the true Ark of the Covenant. When king Solomon sent his son of the Ethiopian Queen of Sheba to rule in Ethiopia he also sent along with him priest and servants. The son of the High priest Zodaks son who was a priest stole it. When they were on thier way down the Red Sea he told Menelik the king to be in Ethiopia. They decided if it were not Gods will that they woul not have made it this far and they went to Ethiopia and built it a temple. Since the day Ethiopia received the Ark ther have been documented miracles. This is why the Ethiopian Orthodox Church makes copies of the Ark. It was never a myth in Ethiopia the Ark was as real as every day life so they took the Old Testament literally when it said to make copies and put them in temples.

Any questions or opinions?

So, are the two tablets actually in the ark? With all due respect, I find it difficult to believe that something as great and amazing as the ark of the covenant has been safely tucked away in a church for the last few thousand years without anyone trying to get at it. Can anyone be absolutely certain that it's the real thing? The Catholic church is known for its fake relics and I'm sure the Orthodox made it's mistakes, too.
