In Reply to: I propose we get to the bottom of this Axum "Ark of the Covenant" mystery... posted by Abner on July 27, 1999 at 10:03:23:
: We should get together a small but heavily armed group of commandos and storm the supposed resting place of the Ark and if it's there, get it out of Ethiopia to be studied. I was thinking of using Humvees with .50 cal machine guns but actually helicopters might be better. We fly in off a ship and surprise them, then get out before they know what hit them. What do you think?

Hey. Good Lord, man, you could've had a high-paying job with the
Reagan Administration with that kind of thinking. I don't think the
international community would stand for that kind of operation.
Besides, the Ethiopians would put up one hell of a fight, I'm sure.
Just my two (bleeding heart liberal) cents.
