Have seen multiple shows on this claim, all much the same. All add that said monk can’t be interviewed and no one can gointo the Church. Which are flagrantly impossible over generational time scales. When the old monk dies who picks the next one? Who trains him? How do they know the old one died? Who brings out his body? Who maintains the building? One monk can only do so much. How is food delivered? How, do they know when randomly wearing out items like robes need replacing. There has to be some communication between the monk and the bureaucracy of the Ethiopian church that maintains him. But the shows never ask those questions.
Right.
These are all warning signs of a sham.
I hesitated to call it such in my previous post, because I don’t have any reason to disparage this site other than how fish/shady it seems on it’s face. But... if you were going to claim you have the ark when you didn’t, but you still wanted to generate interest/donations/pilgrimages, then this exact scenario is what you would need to employ. Guard it from prying eyes and anyone’s ability to research it’s authenticity.
Who watches the Ark when the monk has to go to the bathroom?
