I have been reading the Da Vinci Code. Interesting book. Not done quite yet. But what of other religious symbols? Most of us know the story of the Ark of The Covenant. But did you know that it most probably resides in a small temple in Ethiopia? Here is some interesting information for you (also, to tick of the unreligious Left by discussing religion)
I shan’t tell you the story of the Ark: if you do not know it, go read a Bible. But, a man named Graham Hancock spent time tracking down the supposed movements of the Ark, which led him to a small town in Ethiopia by the name of Axum, which is the most holy of cities in that country. Inside this small chapel the Ark is supposed to reside 
No one other then the Guardian may enter. When the Guardian dies, someone else will take over. Imagine, inside this small building, the vessel containing the remains of 2 tablets that God Himself inscribed may rest. Something to ponder.
I remember watching this on Discover or TLC or some channel. Fascinating. They showed spots where the Ark may have rested. You can find more on the story here.
