The patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia says he will announce to the world Friday the unveiling of the Ark of the Covenant, perhaps the world's most prized archaeological and spiritual artifact, which he says has been hidden away in a church in his country for millennia, according to the Italian news agency Adnkronos.

Post by: efranks on June 25, 2009, 04:08 PM: I watched a show on Discovery or History channel about artifacts like the Ark and they were talking about ti being in a church in Ethiopia. I don't buy it. Unless, of course, Tupac is going to be the host of the unveiling, then it's totally gonna happen.

Today the exact same story was posted on Weekly World News, along with their space alien and bigfoot coverage. I can't tell if WND was fooled and picked up the WWN story, or if WWN is jumping on the bandwagon since this is something of a "supernatural" story.

I did find that the Ethiopian priest did visit the Pope this week, Adnkronos is a real news agency, and they posted this story (http://www.adnkronos.com/IGN/News/Cronaca/?id=3.0.3445266776). But I don't know Italian...

Post by: speedermike on July 15, 2009, 11:12 PM: You know, there's an idea for Indy 5. Let's say there's some artifact that has been apparently missing for 1000 years, only to find out that some religeous group has it. Not only that, but they have 100's of replicas in churches all over...but somehow the real one ended up in a church, swapped out with a replica..but which one?
