A genuine question.
Is there any ancient statue/carvings or what not that has the 10 commandments on them?

In the ark of the covenant. (Though in truth they may be fragments, but I'm sure the british museum could piece them back together).

The Arc of the Covanent has never been found. If it did exist, it was probably stolen from the Jews, and sold for the gold and gems on it.

The ark of the covenent supposably is housed in an Ethiopoian Orthodox Church (I don't get it either).

Nope the ark of the covent dispeared somewhere inbetween the baylonia exile of the jews and the invasion by the syrians, i dunno 300-160ish bc (probally wrong about the dates mind you) we know it was well and truely gone by 70ad as when the romans sacked the temple it was allready gone im sure they would have loved to get their hands on it. Theirs not 100% evidence it ever really existed in the first place really just jewish scripture, no 2nd source i know of that mentions it, im just AS level biblical studies mind you. After all their is an indiana jones movie about it after all.
