: : I know that many people here have Ark theories. This one may be true. I was watching the history channel one night and they had
: : a program on about the Ark. Well, they said that it was found
: : somewhere around Turkey, I think. The Ark is located in a walled
: : city(like a castle) and it is guarded by twelve priests. Nobody
: : is allowed to go in except these 12 certin priests. There is
: : someone always with it. It is never opened up(if you remember there was
: : a curse in it just like in Raiders meaning that if you opened the Ark
: : up, you would release spirits. Well, these people do not offer any
: : proof that they actually are guarding the Ark. You have to take them
: : at their word. The Ark is in something like a mosque or some holy temple. It is not in the hands of the jews, though. Well, just thought I'd post this. Off to seek more fortune and glory.

: Hey. I believe the country is Ethiopia, and the Ark is guarded by
: priests of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. I think the church is
: near the ancient city of Axum. Old stories say that Solomon's son by
: Sheba, Menelik, stole the Ark after being ill-received by his father
: in Jerusalem. Just my two cents.

: PS Mussolini invaded Ethiopia in 1935-36 to avenge Italy's defeat in
: an 1896 battle at the hands of Emperor Menelik II. One wonders what
: Il Duce thought of the old legend of the Ark of the Covenant, and why
: he never bothered to disturb it.
