Yep, the tradition is that the ark was housed temporarily on Elephant Island and then to Axum where it is said to be.

They have several “replica” Arks, and have a procession with one of them each year.

I do not believe the Queen of Sheba tale and the tradition surrounding that.

In God’s due time the Ark will be available if needed. In my opinion it will not be needed then.

time to rebuild the Temple.

By all means it is time to rebuilt the temple.

He circumnavigated Antarctica, you know.

I've done that myself!! Of course I was pretty close to the Equator at the time and doesn't that count as circumnavigating the North Pole at the same time? ;)

the ark itself, as described, is a fascinating item, performing deeds that were magic to the bronze-age writers who described them, but in some cases describing technologies or scientific properties that make an awful lot more sense today. the entire issue of its creation (the radioactivity quarantine around mt sinai) is intriguing as well. It reminds me a lot of reading a Hal Clement novel (maybe like Mission of Gravity) in reverse perspective.

As far as the place in ethiopia that keeps getting these single persons saying they saw it, , how do you even begin to respond to such uncorroborated claims? It is like the claims of having relics of various saints in the dark and middle ages - how do you disprove where the bone (where at least you might be able to see a bone or something) came from? Here the public cannot even see the alleged device in question.

If he saw it, how did he survive the experience.

The Ark of the Covenant destroys the impure who get near it.

[RegulatorCountry]

I suppose it does, lol.

[Textide]

No one would believe it if they read it just once. That’s the ticket....

We have a family originally from Axum in our Orthodox parish. Had dinner with them a couple of Saturdays back and the Ark was one of the main topics of conversation.

I call BS.

[Genoa]

yeah, I’d guess the story is what I’d consider legit

I was jesting. I say it's a legitimately Russian story.

The Orthodox deacon part is pretty impressive.

The rest of it can be done by just about anyone.
