Ethiopia was invaded by the Italian troops during a military campaign that lasted from 1935 to 1936. After Italy declared war on the United Kingdom in 1940, British forces invaded and took Ethiopia in 1941. At the time, Ullendorff was a British army officer who was also a young scholar with extensive knowledge of Ethiopian history and languages, Parfitt told Live Science.
"He went to the Church of Mary of Zion with a couple of soldiers," Parfitt said. He spoke to the monks in the church in Amharic, a language widely spoken in Ethiopia, asking to see the ark. His requests were refused. "They said, 'You can't go in, this is holy...'" said Parfitt, recounting the story. "He said, 'Well, I'm sorry, but I want to go in,'" and "he did go in with his soldiers behind him. They couldn't do anything to stop him," Parfitt said.
According to Parfitt, the army officer then walked over to the place where the ark was said to reside. "What he saw was what you find in any Ethiopian church, which is a model of the Ark of the Covenant," Parfitt said. Apparently, Ullendorff said that "it didn't differ in any way from many arks he had seen in other churches in Ethiopia," Parfitt said. "It wasn't ancient and certainly wasn't the original ark."
..."It would have been absolutely impossible for him to function in Ethiopia if he had said that your ark is not the genuine ark," Parfitt explained. In his interview with the Los Angeles Times in 1992, Ullendorff said that the model he saw was of "middle-to late-medieval construction, when these were fabricated ad hoc."

Correct.
It is fair to say that the Ark of the Covenant was most likely destroyed.
By whom, when, and where, is lost to history.
"Good thing I didn't look
for it there, then!"
An American officer at the time was “Chip” Bohlen, whose relatives were the Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach family of the Ruhr.
The crate, or something very like it, appears in “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” in a hidden storage area along with three alien “monoliths”.
So, we’re back to Oak Island.
Now now. Let’s think this through. American-Germans are smarter than German-Germans because they chose to move!
Second sentence in the article
I believe Ron Wyatt found it and his account is truthful. Buried in a cave directly under the spot where Christ was crucified. It’s the only scenario that does follow the biblical accounts. I recommend all of you research it online.
Glad someone else remembers Brisco County Jr.
Somewhere in the North Atlantic near the coast of Nova Scotia is an island...
Indiana Jones never said the ark of the covenant was in an Ethiopian church.
Thanks fidelis.

A Yeti had already forcibly taken it from the Ethiopians at the request of a leprechaun. The Yeti put it in a sled tied to a team of eight white unicorns. They flew off, their reins guided by the leprechaun, to the end of one particular rainbow.
That is where the Ark now sits waiting for the Apocalypse.
Indiana Jones never said snything, Indiana Jones was a cat. :^)
Yeah this makes no sense. Indiana Jones said the Ark was in Tanis.
Instead, you should research Ron Wyatt's fraudulent / delusional behavior.
Apparently that's still going on, I watched some official History Channel [sic] clips of recent episodes. This could be it, this is a signifcant find, yes, that object we thought was colonial-era Spanish silver turned out to be an old paperclip, but...
According to Indiana Jones the Ark of Covenant is in Federal Government warehouse. I saw it on TV and everyone knows what is seen on TV is the God’s Honest Truth / sarcasm
The amount of money they've spent on their homes in Michigan, plus the amount they've blown on their searches, makes me wonder where all of it comes from.
