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.....
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

Who knows! Obama is surely making the way of a Left wing, godless, worshiped “world leader.” If he is not “the one”, he is surely softening up Europe and the US for “the one.”
It was much funnier on an Ark of the Covenant thread.
Timing is everything. Yours committed the twin sins of being impeccable, and being something I didn’t think of first.

I wonder the same thing.
Relatively short, even by Ethiopian standards.

Wars are not won in the air. With one exception, it takes boots on the ground to break an enemy's will. Even in that one exception, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, air power only provided a hard shove in the direction that thinking Japanese realized was inevitable: the utter defeat of the home islands under the full might of the American Navy and Marines.
By the end of the war most major Japanese cities had received enough high explosives and incendiaries from on high that photos taken of them are hardly distinguishable from those of the Atomic Bomb targets. In large part this only hardened their resolve.
Germany failed to break Britain's will with the Blitz. The Allies failed to break Germany's will with Dresden, etc.
That being said, there is no reason the first plane in the attack can't be carrying The Ark...
Anyone of faith. God promised certain victory, after all...
What is taken for granted? That he’s dead?
