Ethiopian Christians treasure Ark of the Covenant

"Like the vast majority of Ethiopian Orthodox Christians, nearly everyone in this dusty, windswept town believes the ark is tucked neatly away in a stone chapel on the grounds of Axum's biggest church, safeguarding Ethiopia as it has for nearly 3,000 years. "
Ethiopia has been Christian for thousands of years, even though it was completely separated from every other Christian country in the world and completely unknown to Europe until very recently. It also traces back it's monarchy in a single dynasty to biblical times.
