Thanks nickcarraway. It's very unlikely to be the Ark of the Covenant, more likely a Late Kingdom Egyptian coffin, or an outright fake.

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.

I immediately thought of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) when they broke away from Ethiopia in the 1990's. It looks like the Prime Minister of Ethiopia doesn't want it to happen again.

You’re right... a preposition is not something you end a sentence with
How do you know that? You seem pretty sure of yourself.
And there are top people looking at it.
TOP PEOPLE!
who has seen God? How many people have died for Him?
I am fascinated by Ethiopians. Reading about Ethiopia is like reading Tolkien mixed with Medieval.
Rebel troops.

Isn’t not ending a headline in a preposition a commandment?
They aren’t maniacs.
It’s there
Read the Sign and the Seal and educate yourself
The LAST reference to the Ark was before the reign of Manasseh. He profaned the Holy of Holies with pagan idols.
The Ark was removed from the Temple by Levites to protect it.
There was a Jewish settlement dated to the time of Manasseh at Elephantine in Egypt. The Ark was taken there.
From there it went to an Island in Lake Tana in Ethiopia.
From there it went to Axum, the capital of the Axumite Empire and placed eventually in the Church of St. Mary of Zion after Ethiopia was Christianized.
There are Black Jews living in Ethiopia who practice a form of Judaism arrested in the Time of the First Temple. They are called Falashas.
It’s all in “The Sign and the Seal.”
Hope those bastards didn’t get it and 800 people were not slain.
I certainly will. Thank you.
Everbody, everbody says they know where the holy land is
but they don’t.
I DO! It’s in Slater’s ravine and they’r fixin to make
a highway out of it.
