Ethiopia: Home of the Ark of the Covenant

The U.S. Government didn't have to send Indiana Jones through snake-infested tombs and temples to find the Ark of the Covenant in the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

Ethiopians believe the original ark handed down by Moses lies in a small chapel in St. Mary of Zion Church in Aksum, a town in the northernmost part of the country. A monk who is supposedly the only person who has seen it, never leaves the compound and doesn't like to be photographed guards it.
