The Ark of the Covenant is described in the Hebrew Bible as a gold-plated wooden chest that contained the Ten Commandments, for which God provided clear instructions as to who could handle the Ark, and in what manner.<\/p>\n
The Ark of the Covenant cannot be touched by anyone, and can only be transported by the Levites, the priestly class of the Israelites. Touching the Ark results in instant death from God, who provided specific instructions on how to transport the Ark, which involved poles place through rings on the sides of the Ark. <\/strong><\/p>\n On one occasion, a Levite priest was instantly killed when he touched the Ark for a moment. Today the whereabout of the Ark is unknown, although some believe it is stored in a church in Ethiopia, where many of the priests go mysteriously blind, perhaps due to exposure to an ancient radioactive technology.<\/p>\n
