I seen several docs on those. They are incredible.
All mention the possible presence of the Ark.
There is no proof one way or the other, and the evidence I have seen says that the Templars possibly hid it there when they were being persecuted by a false pope or something or other.
Now that we have another false pope, I do find the timing interestin
Israel was sacked repeatedly by foreign powers over the history of the New Testament. My guess is that the Ark was carried off and dismantled for the gold coating. Probably tossed the ten commandments in a ditch somewhere.

Israel didn't exist then.

More likely that it never existed in the first place, but if it did this sounds most plausible. One of the first things an occupying force does is destroy the sacred signs of their subjects to assert the dominance and superiority of the conquering culture.

Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Macedonia, Selucid, Ptolemy, and Rome all sacked Jerusalem at least once (some more than once) prior to the birth of Christ. The book of Maccabees details one such sacking at the hands of Selucia, and how many temple treasures were lost.
The archaeology proves that much of the post-pentatech Old Testament is at least accurate with respect to geography. There are ruins of cities and fortifications exactly where the Bible says there should be. Many foreign kings are mentioned by name who can easily be verified by the records from their own countries, and the timelines of those dynasties always match the archaeology. Much of the Bible from the conquest of Canaan through the death of Christ appears to describe a lot of actual verifiable events.
If the Bible says there was an ark, I have no doubt that there was some object meeting that description which existed at some point. For how long, and where it went before being lost and/or destroyed is a mystery. The Ethiopian story is plausible to me, but fantastic claims require fantastic proof.

So, you believe it IS in Ethiopia.
