Here is a possible tie in that could appeal to the followers of all  
of the Abrahamic religions:

According to the Old Testament, The Queen of Sheba was born in Askum,  
but traveled to Israel to meet King Solomon. They had a son named  
Menelik, who later became the first emperor of Ethiopia. "Menelik  
brought the original Arc of the Covenant back to Ethiopia from  
Israel," according to Daniel Tesfaye, an Ethiopian travel guide.

I recall a documentary on the Arc of the Covenant in which Menelik,  
knowing it was his last days, climbed Kilmanjaro and was never seen  
again. The implication was that he remains frozen there. I think this  
was on Discovery, maybe five years ago. Don't see anything on Google  
or with a search of the Discovery.com site right off.
