Does anyone know where these are? I honestly do think both exist. I have heard so many times, that if someone touched the Arc of the Covenant, that they would die.

The Arc of the Covenant is rumored to be on a little island, in the middle of a lake, in Ethiopia. It is cared for Jewish priest. No one was allowed to go into the hut, except the most Holy of the Priest.
As for the Holy Grail, Some believe that is Jesus's lineage. That Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had children with her. She was suppose to have escaped to England and their lineage lives on in current descendants.

Jeremy, I don't think the Holy Grail has ever been found. Isn't that what King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table were looking for?
The Ark of the Covenant (along with the Ten Commandments allegedly stored within) are supposed to be somewhere in some small African country. An elite 'priesthood' supposedly guards the entrance to that cave to this very day. I am not certain that those priests are affiliated with the Vatican. They may be of the Eastern Orthodox religions (who answer to many Patriarchs, not just the Pope).
I am sorry that I don't remember more. I heard this at a sensitivity training workshop where diverse nationalities were represented and individuals got up to say something interesting or unique about their country. Someone asked the one young lady from that particular nation if it was true that the Ark of the Covenant was located in her homeland. I paraphrased her answer above as best as I can remember. I was already half-asleep and can only remember that her nation was somewhere in Africa.

Oom (post above entered while I typed), thanks! The young lady was from Ethiopia. You jarred my memory.
Also, the priesthood may have been... Jewish? I'm not sure now.

The holy grail is suppose to have been found, and lost again. And the Ark has also been found But a certain group of people hold title to it so to speak so it can't be moved. It is amazing how history was change to fit the needs of those that have great power. I wonder how many people knows their history well enough to know that without the Vatican approval WW-II may not have never happen. And why do you think the Vatican let Mussolini loose on Ethiopia. Because they too were looking for the Ark of the Covenant. And its last know location just happen to be Ethiopia. Now I consider that to be a very interesting piece of history. Like how did something That was created in what we now call Israel wind up in the hands of the most darkest people on this earth. And why is That?. How is it possible that, that group are they the only group of Black Africans that are labeled as Caucasians. I wonder what white Americans would say if they even payed the slightest attention to that piece of history. Also why was that piece of history never taught in the grade schools, but it is taught in almost all university and colleges in the known world...Now what is really going on in this world. It really make me wonder how about you. Another fact that Hallie Selassie ( the longest lived ruler of Ethiopia) have told the world that he was a descended of Salomon you know that great king of Israel. And that the true Ark sat under his throne. Come on Ladies and Gentlemen Knowing these facts maybe mind boggeling but true never the less.......... Why? are we still taught to hate people of color when these fact exist....Why? Also if any of you think that I am being un-true I would love to hear from you and be able to show you the fact that I have at my very finger tips of what I have just stated to you .................................................. Have a good Day...

The ark of the covenant is rumoured to be in Ethopia - BUT there is another suggestion that the ark of the covenant is below the Temple Mount underneath the Dome of the Rock in the vaults of Solomon - the Muslims got pissy the last time the Jews tried to dig their way in underneath.
As to the Holy grail its one of those things that may have been blown out of proportion or is overly venerated - quite simply I'd far rather find the ark of the covenant then the holy grail

Ethiopia is also what I heard where the Ark of the Covenant is supposed to be guarded by one man appointed by the Priesthood who were placed in charge to prevent any others from seeing it. in regards to the Holy Grail there are many who believe different stories but personally believe it is the quest which is important as the Holy Grail itself is of little use.so say the Knights

If I knew where they were I wouldn't be here now!
The grail is thought to relate to the blood of Christ and there may be some direct(ish) descendants still living today who would be very powerful.

There are some very convincing arguments and facts in Graham Hancock's "The sign and the seal" that say that the ark is in Ethiopia

The first real question is do they exist.
If they did then they would have been found by now. There have been too many people searching for those items for them not to have been found.
If they haven't been found by now then I would say they do not exist.

Apparently so. Because no one can find the arc, everyone who knew about it must have died.
