4Chapel of the Ark of the Covenant, Ethiopia

It’s said that, sometime before Christ, the Ark of the Covenant disappeared from Jerusalem and ended up in Ethiopia. The Ark is significant in Christian belief since it holds the tablets of the Ten Commandments, and it’s now thought be kept in a special chapel in Aksum.

Throughout time, the Ark has reportedly been guarded by a series of monks, so you won’t be able to visit the sacred relic. However, you can still explore the streets of the ancient town it lives in.
