Ark of the Covenant

Historical accuracy

 * In the Bible, it is implied that whosoever even touches it directly will die on the spot. Two Nazis opened the Ark, which would have been two crimes against God; opening and looking inside the Ark, so if the movie were folowing historical facts, all of them would hav died instantly as the ark was opened. Everyone watching the broadcast, if it ever made it off the island, would have died, also.
 * The Ark is supposed to have the second set of the Ten Commandments written on it, which are whole, not the first broken pair.
 * The Ark's actual resting place still remains uncertain, although the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion (Orthodox) in Axum, Ethiopia claims to have the true Ark safely kept in the Chapel of the Tablet. The Ark's guardian, and only he, is allowed inside to see it.
