Yesterday, millions were waiting to watch eagerly the Ark of the Covenant revealed. A day passed but it was not made public. “No, the ark is not going to be revealed. Nobody could touch it. If you do so, God will smite you.” Abune Paulos Aba Gebremedhin said.
Paulos puts the blame on the Adnkronos journal, which originally posted the news, and rectification later on.
"…I am here to say what I saw, what I know and I can testify. I did not say that the Ark will be shown to the world.” Paulos is quoted to say on Adnkronos web site site.
Paulos also talked of building a museum in Axum, a structure that will receive and retain the treasures built for centuries and centuries to Axum, the news posted on Adnkronos site revealed.
The museum, funded by the foundation of the prince and that should be built within two years, could also be placed the Ark of the Covenant, but this needs to be decided by the Holy Synod, the supreme body of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia, according to Aba Gebremedhin.

“No, the ark is not going to be revealed. Nobody could touch it. If you do so, God will smite you.” Aba Gebremedhin said. A good, old-fashioned smiting would certainly increase everyone's faith it it being real, expecially if it took out a few members of the MSM.

It’s just a new twist on an old joke.
We’d show it to you, but then GOD would have to kill you!

I have Noah's Ark in my backyard and I am not going to show it unless he shows the ark of the covenant first.

Makes sense to me. I wouldn’t want anybody’s head to explode or face to melt.

Makes sense to me. I wouldn’t want anybody’s head to explode or face to melt. Museum souvenier stands are especially disappointed, as they had a whole line of ark-related trinkets ready to sell to the public:

Sounds like an episode of Monster Quest where the announcer breathlessly prepares us for some great discovery only to learn that the researchers had to go home because someone has a hole in their sock or someone left the lid off the peanut butter jar or someone forgot the keys to the truck or someone looked at the map up side down. Something, always something, keeps them from this great discovery.
