'Ark of the Covenant' about to be unveiled?
World Net Daily ^ | June 24, 2009

Posted on 06/29/2009 12:06:30 PM PDT by Pope Pius XII

The patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia says he will announce to the world Friday the unveiling of the Ark of the Covenant, perhaps the world's most prized archaeological and spiritual artifact, which he says has been hidden away in a church in his country for millennia, according to the Italian news agency Adnkronos.

Abuna Pauolos, in Italy for a meeting with Pope Benedict XVI this week, told the news agency, "Soon the world will be able to admire the Ark of the Covenant described in the Bible as the container of the tablets of the law that God delivered to Moses and the center of searches and studies for centuries."

The announcement is expected to be made at 2 p.m. Italian time from the Hotel Aldrovandi in Rome. Pauolos will reportedly be accompanied by Prince Aklile Berhan Makonnen Haile Sellassie and Duke Amedeo D'Acosta.

If you look at the WND article date, this event was to have taken place this past Friday. Didn’t happen.

Yeah, well when the guys that were preparing the run-thru all melted into boiling piles of wax they decided to put it back in storage for a while.

“According to Pauolos, the actual Ark has been kept in one church, but to defend the treasure, a copy was placed in every single church in Ethiopia.”

Hmmm......how convenient that they have probably hundreds of copies.

A few days ago it was reported that an Ethiopian Patriarch was considering revealing the secret of the Lost Ark, and the Ark itself, and how his church has been holding it for thousands of years, and would likely do so on Friday in Italy. Turns out he preferred keeping the secret (or had nothing to show) and said nothing on Friday. He had not even scheduled a press conference. World Net Daily has the whole story. Nobody knows what is true and what is not, but it is definitely a fascinating story.... The agency had reported an announcement would...
