Some have suggested the Ark of the Covenant is inside the Church of Our Lady of Zion in Aksum, Ethiopia. However, Live Science has learned that accounts told by Edward Ullendorff, who saw the supposed ark during World War II, reveal that what is inside the church is a replica of the ark. Religious traditionNobody knows where the actual Ark of the Covenant is hiding, or whether it really exists. "What he saw was what you find in any Ethiopian church, which is a model of the Ark of the Covenant," Parfitt said. "It would have been absolutely impossible for him to function in Ethiopia if he had said that your ark is not the genuine ark," Parfitt explained.
