I'm about to celebrate my fourteenth anniversary on FR. In that time, I'll wager there have been eight to ten 'definitive' announcements that the Ark of the Covenant was about to be shown.

And you'd win. I myself remember the last one:
The Ark is not going to be revealed, says Gebremedhin [Orthodox leader: I never promised to show it]
Ark of the Covenant Story was Bad Translating, Hype
'Ark' revelation: Can they dig it? (Ark of the Covenant announcement 8 AM eastern)
'Ark of the Covenant' about to be unveiled (Friday June 26th at 2p.m Italian time)
'Ark of the Covenant' about to be unveiled?
'Ark of the Covenant' about to be unveiled?

And the Ark was also found on a Greek island. I know because it was on FR just last month:
