I think the Ethiopians have the Ark????....
and according to some on the History Channel, Ancient Aliens built King Solomon’s temple.(always cracks me up that these jackwads do not think ancient people could build with stone like that....as if there was no such thing as leverage)
I think you guys (I’m a RC) should plow flat the Dome of the Rock and rebuild a 3rd temple incorporating whatever is left of the old temples...also the place cries out for an archeological dig under that Dome.
A few months ago the Ethiopians said they were going to reveal the Ark and, of course, it fizzled out, no show because they don't have it. The Vatican has it sealed away in the bowels of Rome.
The Dome of the Rock or as the Jews call it, the Mountain of the House (Temple Mount) has been under severe PLO and Wakf (the Muslim religious authority responsible for the Mount) archaeological attack for the past 20 years.
The Palestinians have been digging underneath the mount for years desecrating and destroying any remnant of Judaism they find there. They dump massive mounds of dug up earth in certain areas full of broken treasures because it would prove to the world that the Jews were there BEFORE them thus laying a legitimate RIGHT to that Holy Site. They dig up and destroy anything proving the Jewish claims.
Israel can't bulldoze the site just yet because that would bring a global Jihad on them (not that it's not already happening) but it would be insane for them to do it at this time. No, we're waiting for the Messiah to do the job OR and Iranian missile to turn the Muslims into martyrs.
