It is a replica because I don't think you could even be in the same room with the real ark. I think the priests wore bells on their robes so others would know he was still alive. No bells meant he died. I think that was the Ark, but I might be thinking of something else.
Is it really a replica? lol
I guess you could do the touch test.
No thanks. I'll let someone else go first. lol

Was when they entered the holy of holies. They put a rope around their ankle so if they entered with sin and died, they could get pulled out.
