Cornuke travels to Axum, where today he believes the Ark is kept in absolute isolation at Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion by a man referred to as "The Guardian of the Ark of the Covenant".
According to tradition, the Ark came to Ethiopia with Menelik I after he visited his father King Solomon.
The Ethiopian Church believes that the Ark is indeed held today in the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion, but as opposed to the book, they believe that it was brought to Ethiopia by Menelik I, stolen from Solomon's Temple during the reign of King Solomon himself, some 200 years earlier than the events proposed by the book.
