Is this the same "Ark" as in the original Indiana Jones.......
I dont think we are suppose to open it....... 
I'm not sure how it's supposed to be handled but I'm sure the Ethiopians know the do's and don'ts of how to look after it when unveiled.
I'm wondering why they choose this date of all dates on the calendar to reveal it to the world |

What if it's just a really nice box and doesn't do anything special?
Will you all be disappointed?
Few will listen,
Of the few who listen, fewer still will understand,
Understanding does not mean believe,
Of the handful who believe, most may not know what to do,
Those who even know, how many will actually do ?
And the rare ones who have done it.......
Need not listen to you anymore.

To the best of my knowlege, there is nothing regarding the "opening" of the Ark of the Covenant that would make anything happen. and it aint pandora's box.
Touching the (real and genuine) Ark (like with a hand) would result in instant death, hence only certain people could interact with it.. Levites (priest class) iirc.
I *really* want to get my hands on it.

The Ark of the Covenant is one of the most fascinating of all Temple-related subjects. There are many theories about what happened to the Ark of the Covenant, and speculation abounds as to its actual location. Some people think it was taken to the Vatican, together with other Temple vessels, such as those depicted on the Roman monument, the Arch of Titus. There are many authentic, ancient historical chronicles, and even more popular legends, that attest to many sacred vessels having been taken away to Rome. However, this does not apply to the most holy feature of the First Temple, the Ark.
While some claim to have evidence that the ark is in Ethiopia, and of course, moviegoers were treated to a fanciful version of the story in "Raiders of the Lost Ark," in reality, the expression "lost" ark is not an accurate description for the Jewish peopleÕs point of view - because we have always known exactly where it is. So the Ark is "Hidden," and hidden quite well, but it is not lost.
Tradition records that even as King Solomon built the First Temple, he already knew, through Divine inspiration, that eventually it would be destroyed. Thus Solomon, the wisest of all men, oversaw the construction of a vast system of labyrinths, mazes, chambers and corridors underneath the Temple Mount complex. He commanded that a special place be built in the bowels of the earth, where the sacred vessels of the Temple could be hidden in case of approaching danger. Midrashic tradition teaches that King Josiah of Israel, who lived about forty years before the destruction of the First Temple, commanded the Levites to hide the Ark, together with the original menorah and several other items*, in this secret hiding place which Solomon had prepared.
This location is recorded in our sources, and today, there are those who know exactly where this chamber is. And we know that the ark is still there, undisturbed, and waiting for the day when it will be revealed. An attempt was made some few years ago to excavate towards the direction of this chamber. This resulted in widespread Moslem unrest and rioting. They stand a great deal to lose if the Ark is revealed - for it will prove to the whole world that there really was a Holy Temple, and thus, that the Jews really do have a claim to the Temple Mount. (The official position of the Islamic Wakf, the body that governs over the Temple Mount, is that there never was a Holy Temple, and that the Jews have no rights whatsoever to the place).
* such as the staff of Aaron that brought forth almond blossoms during the controversy involving Korach (Numbers 16); the jar of manna that had been placed in the Holy of Holies as a testimony; and the jar of anointing oil. |

I won't be until I find the age of this box from a scientific point of view from samples taken from it. If it's really really old then we might have an idea that it's the real deal. then again if it dates just less then it should be, then it will remain an interesting piece of antiquity that was copied from the one that was made in the desert by Moses tribe. |

DON'T TOUCH THE ARK!
2 Samuel 6
Peril in Moving the Ark
1(A)Now David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2And David arose and went with all the people who were with him to Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God which is called by the Name, the very name of the LORD of hosts who is enthroned above the cherubim.
3They placed the ark of God on a new cart that they might bring it from the house of Abinadab which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were leading the new cart.
4So they brought it with the ark of God from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Ahio was walking ahead of the ark.
5Meanwhile, David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of fir wood, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets and cymbals.
6But when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen nearly upset it.
7And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down there for his irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God.
From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17 |

After the incident with Uzzah, David said 'oops' , gulped, and did it right the next time:
1 Chronicles 15
Plans to Move the Ark to Jerusalem
1Now David built houses for himself in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God and (A)pitched a tent for it.
2Then David said, "No one is to carry the ark of God but the Levites; for the LORD chose them to carry the ark of God and to minister to Him forever."
3And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place which he had prepared for it.
13"Because you did not carry it at the first, the LORD our God made an outburst on us, for we did not seek Him according to the ordinance."
14So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel. 15The sons of the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles thereon, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.
Because God was helping the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams. 27Now David was clothed with a robe of fine linen with all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the singing with the singers. David also wore an ephod of linen.
28Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the horn, with trumpets, with loud-sounding cymbals, with harps and lyres.

this could be a false ark, but using high technology to fool the masses. Then the man of sin, son of perdition aka the anti Christ, will take control of the one world order, one world system. He will led many ppl astray, and many will worship him. He will sit in Gods temple and proclaim himself God.
They ( Illuminati )have been setting up his system and passing draconian laws. Communism will be the system, not just socialism
