If those Coptic monks in Ethiopia aren't guarding the Ark, what the heck are they doing? They seem serious.

They might find the Ark in the ACLU headquarters, the ACLU has caused the disappearance of other copies of the Ten Commandments.

"The Bible's final mention of the Ark recounts King Josiah's order to return the chest to the temple:"

"Put the Holy Ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders." (2 Chronicles 35:3)

Uhmmmm, maybe this is not the final mention. How about this:

"And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament:....." (Revelation 11:19)

Maybe the original just ain't on this earth any more, ya think?

"What's important about the Ark is what's inside of it – the Ten Commandments, the Covenant," said Rives.

Yeah, but if you lift the top, don't those creepy ghost things come out and melt your face?

most everyone knows the Ark is in Ethopia

I am familiar with Ron Wyatt. He was quite the archaeologist with numerous 'big theories'. He claimed to have actually located the ark in the location they are searching. In fact, he has a blurry picture on his site that he said is it. The film didn't develop properly. It's an interesting read. He also has stuff about Noah's Ark and cities around the Dead Sea too. Now deceased, but he made an impact in Israel.

During the interview, Wyatt explained he found an earthquake crack directly below the place where the wood on which Jesus was crucified would have been. The cleft extends down through the rock to the resting place of the Mercy Seat representing God's throne atop the Ark of the Covenant. The blood of Christ would have flowed through that crevice after his death and after his side had been pierced by a soldier's spear.

The Bible teaches the concept of sacrifice of animals, symbolic of the actual blood sacrifice Christ would make. The act of Christ, regarded by some as the great High Priest, permitting himself to be sacrificed and placing his own blood upon the Mercy Seat was the great and final act in the process of blood sacrifice, according to Wyatt's writings.

This is the coolest part of the whole thing, IMO.

The Ark was not something to be "messed with." That is one account that the movie got right. The bible speaks of what happened to the enemies of God who captured it. It wasn't pretty.

On a lighter sidenote, I had to laugh at this:

"Hopefully we will extract the contents live on the Internet and on television

An international team has just completed what it calls its first stage of exploration, spending two weeks beneath Mount Moriah outside the walls of ancient Jerusalem.

Not a good sign. Mount Moriah is the location of the Temple, i.e. where the Dome of the Rock mosque now stands, well inside the ancient boundaries of Jerusalem.

The spot where Jesus was supposedly crucified, Golgotha or Mount Calvary, is outside the boundaries on the northwest side, and the exact spot is unknown ... the traditional spot seems to have been picked out, probably by Saint Helen, no earlier than five centuries after the event.

The Ark of the Covenant is in the church of St. Mary of Axum in Ethiopia. It is guarded by a single monk who is chosen by his predecessor as a child and who never leaves the compound.

Outside the church is guarded by armed Ethiopians.

Over and above all of that, it would take a brave person (or a very foolish one) to fool around with God's radio. The older passages of the Bible reveal the Ark as a object of terrible power.
