The Ark is in Ethiopia.

Thou it did no get there as generaly asusmed. The Ethiopian Jews (Who would have had it first) actually don't think much of the Menelek story, that legend was mostly propaganda for the Axumite kings to give themselves a line of descent to brag about.

The best book on the Ark being in Ethiopia is Graham Hancock's The Sign and The Seal. However it's NOT from a Christian POV and that gives a few detail sin how it's argument is presented that I don't like. For a Christian viewpoint try these links.
