It’s the kind of discovery that sounds more Indiana Jones than archaeology lab.
Researchers digging in Israel say they may have uncovered ruins linked to the Ark of the Covenant — the gold-covered biblical chest said to have held the Ten Commandments.
The Ark is described in scripture as a sacred chest built by the Israelites after their Exodus from Egypt. It was kept in the Tabernacle, a portable sanctuary some scholars date to around 1445 BC.
According to the Bible, Moses himself placed the stone tablets inside.
And then — like a divine disappearing act — it vanishes from the biblical record before the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC.
Now, archaeologists with Associates for Biblical Research (ABR) say they may have found new clues at biblical Shiloh, an ancient site in the West Bank linked to early Israelite worship.
Shiloh is described in scripture as the place where the Tabernacle stood for more than 300 years, making it one of the most important religious centers in early biblical history.
And this season, the dig has turned up something big.
Researchers say they’ve uncovered additional walls from a massive structure that may be part of the Tabernacle complex, along with worship-related artifacts and newly identified fortifications that could help piece together the ancient city’s layout.

The nazis have it.
Yep.
CIA false flag this article is....
Was it on Oak Island?
I thought it was in Ethiopia
The take away of the Indiana Jonnes movie is; If Jones had never searched for the Ark, the outcome would have been the same.
not again
“I thought it was in Ethiopia”
The Ethiopian Orthodox Christians in Axum believe that they have it inside of their chapel.
I’d like to hear what Monty Python has to say about this.
The Ark is totally irrelevant, same as Moses’ Tabernacle, and all the rest: They were earthly shadows of the true Heavenly items. The Mosaic representations have long since moldered away.
In Revelation, we even see the True Ark in the Heavenly Temple.
Rather than such artifacts, we have Jesus, and He is all we need.
That right there is just darned funny.
It's the type of irony completely lost on Leftists.
WTF does the Holy Grail have to do with the Ark of the Covenant?
Again....................
I worked with a lady in Maryland who said that her first job out of college was with NSA at a site near Fort Meade. Her job was to help inventory a warehouse that looked similar to that picture. Items dated back to WW1.
NSA had little idea what was there, because they inherited the warehouse from a number of previous entities, none of which were big on keeping good records.
