There are numerous theories surrounding the origin and current whereabouts of the biblical Ark of the Covenant. One of the latest is that it still exists and is kept in a church in Ethiopia, under strict guard.

In the late 1980s amateur archaeologist William R. McGlone came upon a series of fascinating and unusual petroglyphs in Colorado. Building on the work of McGlone author Gary Vey, who has no training in ancient scripts, later discovered that writing at the site of the palace of the Queen of Sheba in the Republic of Yemen closely resembled that on the Colorado petroglyphs. Using a computer programme he had developed Vey apparently managed to translate the petroglyphs. They were written in an unknown ancient language and speak about a catastrophe on earth. Using the same computer program Vey also translated the writing at the palace of the Queen of Sheba from looking at photographs taken at the site and discovered that it told the incredible story of the Ark of the Covenant, where it is now located, and predicted the same disaster that was prophesied in the Colorado texts.
