To the Membership of the Cultural Exchange Treaty Organisation:
Approximately three weeks ago a group of Achkaerinese archaeologists led by Melanie Bell discovered the resting place of a long lost relic important to several other faiths - the Ark of the Covenant
[1]. The Ark was discovered in Phuebra following an extensive investigation stretching from Abydos to Vanora, Tamora, Royal Seleucid and eventually Phuebra. With the approval of the Phuebran Government the Ark was handed over to the archaeologists for examination and authentication, this having been done it can now be said that it is the genuine article. As such I now in accordance with article three of the CETO charter seek the approval of the panel of scholars to return to the nation of origin this artefact if that nation wants it.
