The location of a chest Christians believe holds the Ten Commandments could have been under our noses this entire time.

At least, that’s what these CIA documents claim.

The Ark of the Covenant (no, not the Indiana Jones movie) was built by Israelites around the 13th century BC, according to the Bible.

It’s believed that Moses then put the stone tablets which have the Ten Commandments on them inside of the chest.

But newly resurfaced CIA documents from the 1980s seem to point to Ethiopia as the area where the lost Ark is.

In the eighties, the CIA did experiments with people who said they could tell information about objects, people and events from far away.

One of these people reportedly gave coordinates of an object matching the description of the lost Covenant in the Middle East, claiming people around it were ‘speaking Arabic’.

”The target is a container. This container has another container inside of it,’ the document states. ‘The target is fashioned of wood, gold and silver…. and it is decorated with [a six-winged angel],’ the person told the CIA.

Now, this should be taken with a grain of salt. But, it’s still fascinating.

The Ark has been ‘missing’ since 586 BC when it’s believed to have vanished during the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem.

It could very well still be in the ‘Holy Land’, but some rumours have placed the Ark as far away as Ethiopia.

The psychic person who claimed to know where the Ark was also went on to describe buildings which resembled domes of mosques, along with people ‘clothed in all white’ with ‘black hair and dark eyes’.

‘The target is hidden — underground, dark and wet were all aspects of the location of the target,’ they said. ‘The purpose of the target is to bring people together. It has something to do with ceremony, memory, homage, the resurrection. 

‘There is an aspect of spirituality, information, lessons and historical knowledge far beyond what we now know.’

Eerily, the psychic claimed that anyone who attempted to open the container by ‘prying or striking’ it would be ‘destroyed by the container’s protectors through the use of a power unknown to us.’ 

In 2018, a group of American Christians claimed to have found the real Ark in a remote African church where it’s guarded by monks.

Bible Archaeology Search and Exploration Institute (BASE) claimed to have spoken to some locals including the monk who is the ‘Guardian of the Ark’ at the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in the city of Axum in Ethiopia.

However many other researchers were quick to dismiss the claim.
