Some problems with the underlying assumptions here.

(1) The story about the prophet Jeremiah is just that, a story. It seems unlikely that Jeremiah would be able to secrete the ark anywhere since he was under arrest in the royal palace until the Babylonians overran Jerusalem.

(2) According to Jewish tradition the Temple Mount is Mount Moriah, not Calvary. A bare assertion that Mount Moriah and Calvary are one and the same is leaping to an unwarranted conclusion.

These guys are not serious researchers.

In reading this, I was under the impression (perhaps incorrectly) that because the Palastinians were in control of the Temple Mount, that they have prohibited all archeology explorations, and in fact, have descecrated many of the sites aready explored.

While this would be a wonderful find, I doubt the veracity.

anyway, what about the alternate history of the Ark being taken to Ethiopia by the son of the Queen of Sheba and Solomon?

Could it be that the Ark, if found under the Temple Mount, may be a reproduction?

Anyway......

"It seems unlikely that Jeremiah would be able to secrete the ark..."

That sounds painful.
