Forbidden Places in the World That You Aren’t Allowed to Visit



Chapel of the Ark of the Covenant, Ethiopia

Legend has it that the Ark of the Covenant – which supposedly holds the written Ten Commandments – lies inside of an Ethiopian church called The Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion. Unfortunately none of us laypeople are allowed into the chapel – not even historians or researchers – so no one knows whether this is true or not. That privilege is reserved for the “guardian” of the ark.
