#2 That theory has been around since the 1980's that I can remember. It's not exactly new.

#4 There is some huge historical evidence to back this up. Graham Hancock covered it in his fantastic and well researched book, "The Sign and the Seal".

During Timkat (January 19th or thereabouts) the heavily shrouded Ark is taken out. Then there is Elephantine and Tana Kirko Island at the headwaters of the Nile (lake Tana).

The priest monks of Tana Kirkos still live on the island where the Ark of the covenant was kept for about 800 years. Levitical age blood sacrifices were performed until 338 A.D., the year the nation of Ethiopia converted to Christianity.

#11 Actually Jeremiah took the Ark out of Jerusalem during one of the Babylonian sieges and took it to Egypt.

So some of this matches.

The Ethiopians have claimed for many years that they have the Ark.

There are the ruins of a Jewish TEMPLE on an island in the Nile. That is significant as the building could not be called a temple unless it housed the Ark.

Lots of interesting discussion
