At least one man claims to have finally solved the mystery of the Ark of the Covenant. The evidence seems rather tenuous to me, but wtf do I know? Time to put the upcoming History Channel special on the ol' Tivo to-do list!
That's funny...last I heard the Ark was brought down to Ethiopia by the Queen of Sheba (Seba) and is still in the custody of the Ethiopian (Christian) Orthodox priests at a particular site.
Of course, no one--except one man--is allowed to ever view said Ark, so it's not exactly proof either.
Either that, or it's in some warehouse in an unmarked crate here in DC...and has been since 1936!
