Elephantine Island (right) in the middle of the Nile River today, near Egypt´s Aswan dam. This was allegedly the departing point for the Ark of the Covenant on its journey to Ethiopia.

The mean of transportation used to move the Ark from Egypt is not known today, because most accounts, if not all, are based on speculative theories and legendary tales. It could have been transported by different means, tentatively by boat, camel or simply by foot.
According to modern scholar Graham Hancock, who enlarged a previous rejected theory of Guidi, suggesting the Jews might have been involved in the plot to transport the Ark from the temple on Elephantine Island in Egypt, around 470 BC., he proposed that the Ark was taken south along the banks of the Nile to what is now Khartoum, Sudan, and from there up the Blue Nile River to Lake Tana, Ethiopia, and installed at Tana Qirgos island.
