Hey Bob, On the subject of the Ark being in Ethiopia, did you ever read that book "The Sign and the Seal" by Graham Hancock? I thought it was quite nicely written and researched until he started bringing out a whole raft of Atlantis-was-here-type books soon afterwards. Of course then you have to start worrying that he was just talking bollocks all along :-( And anyway, everyone knows that the Ark is hidden in a bloody big government warehouse somewhere in the USA :-) Chris
