Jane, I don't believe the Ethiopian legend/tradition has anything to do with the Templars. I believe the story is that the Ark was spirited out to the Jewish settlement at Elephantine in Egypt, and from there eventually found its way down to Ethiopia and into the care of the Coptic Church.

I'm a little skeptical of the legend, but I'd give it more credence than the story that the Templars got the Ark. After all, as I recollect there is no mention of the Ark in any writings leading up to Jesus' time. Nothing in the NT, nothing in the apocrypha, nothing in the later OT writings (am I wrong?). That makes it unlikely it was still in the holy land when Jesus was born.

I know this stuff really has little to do with my salvation, but I loved obscure historical mysteries even before I became a Christian, and I still love them now.

Your sibling in Christ, Ken.
