How can something be "found" when it was never "lost"
These people have been a well known fact for a very long time

So....that second wife of Moses... The one Aaron and Miriam had a problem with, a Cushite. (the one they were cursed for their actions) Were there children from that marriage? Who knows? Any children of Moses would have been Levites? Correct?

I thought it was the Etheopians who claimed to have the Ark.

Let me guess, they’re not slaughtering or terrorizing their neighbors, or saying it’s God’s will that they should take over the earth?

Levi was a son of Jacob. The book of Genesis gives all the information on lineages. Moses doesn’t hit the scene until the book of The Exodus.

I read the linked article. I may be mistaken but I think it said this group had an artifact they called Ngoma that they claimed was the original ark.
I have seen a couple of Discovery Channel type shows about the Ethiopian Ark, I would like to see pictures of that one too, but I’m pretty sure none are available. The Ngoma is supposed to go on display this summer.

A tremendous post, Decimon. Stuff like this is why I love FR.

*** I have seen a couple of Discovery Channel type shows about the Ethiopian Ark *** Yeah that's where I learned about it too. Extremely interesting. I saw it either on the National Geo or History International Channel (Premium Cable channels). (1)
(1) I don't watch the Discovery Channel any longer (Basic Cable Channel). Their programming went down hill. 'Dirty Jobs' is now on, whoopee ;-)

Ummm...Moses belonged to the tribe of Levi. Doesn’t matter “when he hit the scene.” Levi had children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, etc. Moses was one of them although his name doesn’t appear until the Book of Exodus. Do you want a lineage chart? :) The PRIESTLY system, did not hit the scene until Exodus and the Tabernacle.

Depends what you mean by new...this has been known for about 8 or so years when they discovered the signature DNA of the Kohanim in these Africans. It was a front-page story in the NY Times at that time.
There are other Y-chromosome stories similar to this in that the Jewish men (like other men) often went out on their own and settled down with indigenous women. When maternal DNA from mitochondria are looked at in Jews, many of the European Jews have non-Jewish origins.

Here’s a link to a picture of the “ngoma lungundu”:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8522097.stm
“On each corner there is the remnants of a wooden ring, and obviously at one point, it was carried by inserting poles through these two rings on either side,” he said.
“Of course in the biblical account, that’s precisely how the Ark of the Covenant was carried across the wilderness.”

King Solomon's Mines revisited?
Actually this may not be so far fetched since the area of the Transvaal at the time of the Boers was still wide open, the Bantu migrations south were just beginning. It could have been an area that a fleeing tribe of Israel would find accommodating. There were only disorganized Hottentots and primitive Bushmen at the time of the Boers and later the English so who knows what the area was like 2500 years earlier. Probably just empty space.
