"BASE" (aka Bob Cornuke) has made multiple false claims, including about the Ark, the location of Mount Sinai, Noah's Ark.... He is not credible. Period....this story is absolute **P*R*O*O*F** of something - although what that might be could be that FOX News is trying to capture the "I only read it while I'm standing in line at the supermarket" demographic.
It is also said to contain other biblical items such as Aaron’s rod, which is thought to have magical powers.

Ark of the Covenant may be hidden in Africa, biblical scholars believe
Bible scholars believe the legendary Ark of the Covenant may have landed in Africa after it was taken out of Israel.
The Ark is said to be a gold-covered wooden chest containing two stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments – which Moses brought down from Mount Sinai – are written.
It is also said to contain other biblical items such as Aaron’s rod, which is thought to have magical powers.
Since it vanished there have been several theories as to where the Ark is now, including Mount Nebo in Israel, southern Africa, Ethiopia, Egypt and even several locations in Europe.
While the idea that the Ark was taken to Ethiopia is not new, there has been renewed interest after evidence was unearthed by the Bible Archaeology, Search & Exploration Institute (BASE).
COMMENT:-
Aside from the fact that the "evidence" comes from an unnamed source of unknown reliability and unknown connection with anyone known, and aside from the fact that BASE's actual response to the question "Have you really found it?" translates out to "Maybe we have, maybe we haven't, we don't know, all of the evidence isn't in yet, we're going to investigate, and maybe you'll hear from us about the results of the investigation (or maybe you won't)." this story is absolute **P*R*O*O*F** of something - although what that might be could be that FOX News is trying to capture the "I only read it while I'm standing in line at the supermarket" demographic.[/SUP]

I don't understand this obsession with finding it... can somebody explain this?
Isn't the Ark of the Covenant just a gigantic ancient capacitor?
That's the modern myth.

Religious reasons aside, finding physical artifacts that support or refute claims made in ancient documents is ALWAYS going to be a goal of archeologists and historians.
Until someone applies some current to those two golden angels, I guess we won't know.
