They were slaughtered trying to stop real-life raiders of the lost ark — an artifact so powerful and holy they were forbidden from ever seeing it.

The harrowing mass-murder of at least 800 people at an Ethiopian church in Tigray highlighted the apparent whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant, one of the biggest mysteries in religion and the stuff of movie legend.

The ark — a large, gold-covered wooden chest said to hold Moses’ Ten Commandments — was held at the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem for centuries, but vanished after Jerusalem was sacked in 586 or 587 BC, according to the Old Testament.

Isn’t not ending a headline in a preposition a commandment?

That may be so, but what evidence do you have for saying that?

The actual Ark was hidden by Josiah, the king of Judah during the siege of Jerusalem by Babylon in 587 B.C. (which took nearly a year). It is most certainly not in Ethiopia.

Josiah was not king during the babalonian siege. Jeconiah was, and he was an evil king.

And they just reran the epsiodes of the “mysteries” guy who went and visited them.

So I got to see those gentle, devout people who are dead now, again.

Heartbreaking.

I'm not saying it is the real Ark, but what you say is not proof it's not. Where it was in 587 B.C. wouldn't necessarily be where it stayed.

Wouldn't it be cool if a reporter actually reported something?

Everyone knows it was misfiled in a government storage facility back during WWII.
