Bible buzz begins as hunters wait to view Ten Commandments box

Ark hunters and Bible enthusiasts are buzzing about a report that the Ark of the Covenant, the ancient container that holds the Ten Commandments, is expected to be unveiled in Rome today.

As WND reported, the patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia says he will announce to the world the unveiling of the Ark, 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."

According to the Italian news agency, the announcement is expected to be made at 2 p.m. Italian time (8 a.m. Eastern) from the Hotel Aldrovandi in Rome. Pauolos will reportedly be accompanied by Prince Aklile Berhan Makonnen Haile Sellassie and Duke Amedeo D'Acosta.

"The Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia for many centuries," said Pauolos. "As a patriarch I have seen it with my own eyes and only few highly qualified persons could do the same, until now."

Bob Cornuke, biblical investigator, international explorer and best-selling author, has participated in more than 27 expeditions around the world searching for lost locations described in the Bible. A man some consider a real-life Indiana Jones, he has written a book titled "Relic Quest" about the Ark of the Covenant and participated in History Channel production called "Digging for Truth."

I don’t recall a single reference to anyone getting hemorrhoids from carrying the Ark as instructed.

Hernias maybe but definitely no hemorrhoids.....

To my understanding, the Ark was taken from the earth by God. So how could it be found?

Maybe he didn't have any room left in his closet so he sent it back?

Could be. But I’ll wait and see. I’m sure the answer will be available, eventually.

Maybe the opener is having a long conversation with God.

Seems like there is some kind of dispute about showing it to the world ...

Push the old “guard” by the door out of the way and go in for crying out loud!

The old guard by the door mught be a pushover but it's my understanding that outside the door, and gate, and town there are guards with automatic weapons that have vowed to give their lives that the Arc might not be desecrated.

Oh, yeah, that’s not worth it. I am very much aware of the sacred nature, but I really want to know if it is there for real or just what they think is it.

Ya know? On my ping page, your post shows up as “Wontsubmit to Monkey Face.”

And while we’re on the subject, where exactly IS Hotel Aldrovandi?
