Most Ethiopians do. :’) According to local lore (recounted by Graham Hancock, but still...) the Ark spent time of years at Elephantine before moving further south. That move resulted from some kind of military problem, wild guess, the Assyrian conquest and retreat of the 25th Dynasty. I think Solomon wound up in Egypt, in exile. Not too sure about the “Solomon’s son” part of the tale, but a trace of the story can be found in Josephus (if memory serves, I’m at work, shame on me).

I think I’ve seen one of the documentaries (Maybe Hancock) ‘In Search Of The Ark’ that lead to Ethiopia. Thanks.
