A wooden object which some people claimed to be a replica of the Ark of the Covenant was found in Zimbabwe. This replica of the Ark of the Covenant belongs to the Lemba people, black Africans who believe they are descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel.

According to a news report published by the BBC News, the replica of the Ark of the Covenant was built almost 700 years ago from the remains of the original Ark.

You have to read the story to believe it.

I have to confess: I have lost count of how many Arks of the Covenant have been found in the last decade.
