The Ethopian people claim that Queen Sheeba had a son with King Solmon. The son carted away the ark to ethopia. The old testment mentions the Ark 100 of times before Solomon but hardly mentions it after Solomon. (ie as it no longer existed in Juresulem)

Because the monks that guard it won't let anyone see it. The only one allowed to see it is the head monk.

The Ten Commandments tablet was destroyed by Moses, and it is a different thing from the Ark of the Covenant. Which has been investigated. The keepers of whatever it is won't allow access.

It has been investigated numerous times. They will not allow access to the church where they claim it is. They're not the only ones who claim they have them.
It's all just a myth anyway. It's a story borrowed from the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the names were changed.
Who's to say it really IS the Ten Commandments there. I want to see a certificate of authenticity...HA HA HA HA HA HA

It is claimed by the Coptic church that they have possessed the Ark for over 2000 years, but there is no way to confirm or deny it. Besides they claim only one preist is ever permitted in it's presence, and he goes blind as soon as he has seen it.

I ask my husband this same question recently. He said the church won't allow it.
