It is well known that there are three symbols of ancient Israel, i.e. the Ark of the Covenant, the original Menorah of Tabernacle, and the tablets of stone from Sinai where the Ten Commandments were supposedly written. All of these three symbols were lost since the Shlomo's First Temple was destructed by the Babylonian army. See http://www.torah.org/features/holydays/templemenorah.html. And perhaps the first Menorah was lost even since the Israeli crossed the Jordan river.

But considering a report by Bob Cornuke (History channel) that the Ark of the Covenant is probably located in the Church of Mary from Sion, in Ethiopia, then it seems quite possible to also find a clue on the present location of the ancient Menorah. Some years ago, I even read a fiction book suggesting that the original Menorah, made of a single block of gold, is located somewhere in an underground cave in an old city in Egypt.

I think the original Menorah is one of the most iconic symbols of archaeology, so if anyone knows possible locations of that piece of ancient Israel please kindly share here.
