The blood was poured over that Mercy seat to make atonement..to make me at/one/ment with God...

Are you suggesting that it is Mary that that despenses mercy and judgement? Are you suggesting that Mary held the sold place in the Holy of Holies? That the High Priest had to go to HER for the sins of the Jews?

Nope. I'd suggest that the Ark in this sense acted as a type of altar, so I would expect it, in this sense, to be a type for some kind of superior altar in the New Testament.

But the Ark acted primarily as a chest containing Aaron's staff, the manna and the stone tablets, each a type for Christ. Therefore, in the sense that the Ark was a chest or container for things foreshadowing Christ, I would look for a superior chest or container for Christ in the New Testament. Mary's womb is the only "container" for Christ that comes to mind. Moreover, as a sinless woman, she would be superior in holiness to the Ark which foreshadowed her.

If it was nothing more than a chest to carry things why was it behind the curtain..with only the High Priest allowed in? Why was the blood poured on it once a year ?Why when Jesus died was that veil rent..giving all men access to the Holy of Holies directly?No more intermediary needed..are you saying the access given was to mary?

Ps can you prove she was sinless ? Because that is not what the bible says and not what she says

How are the staff and tablets a type of Christ?

I know the RC's think she is sinless but... oh nevermind.
