    There are those that claim that the Ark kept in Axxum, is thegenuine
Ark.  This artifact is paraded once a year...but covered.
No one has seen it, or allowed to see it, but a few monks.  Is it
THE ark?  A copy?  Who knows?

    The only reference that comes to mind, and there may well be
others,is in 4Q504 (Words of the Luminaries) but the text does not refer
to
the Ark as a contemorary, existing artifact but reflects on it's
placement
in Jerusalem at the time of David.
