I still think it's in Ethiopia as referenced in 2 Chronicles 35, and Isaiah 18. It's at "Lake Tana". There's some dudes there that claim to have it, and guard it.
Please read Isaiah 18, then Acts 8 (Story of the Ethiopian).
It's believed these two passages are related. The idea is that the Ethiopian people believe they are to return a great treasure on "The day of the Lord". They have heard the Messiah was in Israel so they sent their treasurer to check things out. When he gets there, he finds out that Christ has been crucified. So, he is on his way back home, reading the scroll of Isaiah and the passage we now refer to as Chapter 53 (the Suffering Messiah), scratching his head and tying to figure things out.
Then, along comes Philip ...
