In Search of the Lost Ark of the Covenant (In Search Of, 3)

The search for the Ark of the Covenant has been dramatized in movies and researched in documentaries over the years, capturing the imaginations of archaeologists and Christians the world over. Although the final resting place of the Ark is controversial and clouded with confusion, explorer Bob Cornuke believes that the Ark of the Covenant was transported from ancient Israel and is in Ethiopia today. As unusual as this may sound, Cornuke has uncovered compelling evidence that the Ark may well have been spirited up the Nile River to an eventual resting place in the remote highlands of ancient Kush—modern Ethiopia. Cornuke travels to Axum, where today he believes the Ark is kept in absolute isolation at St. Mary’s of Zion Church by a man referred to as "The Guardian of the Ark of the Covenant."
