In another topic we were wondering if the Exodus story had been partly inspired by the Hyksos being expelled from Egypt and ending up in Canaan. In the story, the Ark was built by people who'd left Egypt. Take away all the supernatural stuff from the Ark stories and there's just a fancy box which could be carried on poles.

Here's some Egyptian winged figures. Stele of the Hight Priest of Ptah, Shedsunefertem, 945-924 BC

If the Ark ever did turn up, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it looked like something from ancient Egypt.
