panafrica said:Specifically, the Ark of the Covenant is in the Ethiopian nation of Axum.
Orisons said:I went to Ethiopia in August 1992 specifically to be near the Ark which is in Axum in Tigray province, which used to be a major City in the region.
The Ark is in a small building [I have pictures of the building] next to Axum Cathedral, however no one is allowed to see it, apart from the Priest who guards it.
The Crown Jewels of Ethiopia including Haille Selassie's crown [which they do allow you to see] are also stored in the same building behind a shutter which is padlocked.
