Ark of the Covenant

Its a box that some guy in ethiopia is supposed to watch over. Does he actually have the thing? Who knows.

This is manifestly lest interesting than the saga of the Kusanagi (Japanese Excalibur). Without which, a new Emperor cannot be seated. Problem is, the damn thing sank in a ship a few hundred years ago.

Luckily, a monk found where the sword had FLOATED up onto the shore and he put it in a box. Now only he, and his successor is allowed to look at it.

The box is still present at ceremonies, but no one gets to look inside.

We at the Illuminati would prefer that you NOT discuss it.

As in the Indiana Jones movies?

It's only controversial because everyone has a different idea of what exactly it is. Some believe it's a scroll, some the cup Jesus drank wine from, others, a cup that caught some of His blood as it dripped from His body on the cross.. and then there are those that believe Indiana Jones won't disclose what it really is and he's keeping it to get rich on some day.
