Scene from Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark
It seems that Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark wasn’t as fictional of a movie as we once thought. World Net Daily, a fundamentalist Christian “news” site is claiming that the object of the Spielberg/Lucas film, The Ark of the Covenant, has been found.
According to their sources, the magic box which held the original Ten Commandment stone tablets and burnt of the Nazis in the first Indiana Jones film has been hiding in a Church in Ethiopia for nearly 3000 years. They claim that a special guardian is trained to watch over the Ark until he dies and is replaced with a new guardian (just like in the third Indiana Jones film dealing with the Holy Grail).
So while the Ark of the Covenant has been hidden for over 3000 years, for some reason the Ark’s Guardian has revealed its existence to the world today. Why now? Because as Indiana Jones put it at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, “It belongs in a museum.” That’s right, the super holy man in charge, Abuna Pauolos who is the head of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia, believes that the Ark should be shared with the masses after 3000 years of hiding to be on display as a tourist attraction in… where else, Ethiopia. He is currently meeting with Pope Palpatine to discuss the Ark and its contents.
Yup, the story gets better. There are contents. While it is unclear whether the “original” stone tablets of the Ten Commandments actually carved by the hand of God himself are still in the Ark, the Ark is said to contain Manna. Manna is the magic food which sustained the Jews for 40 years as they were alleged to have wandered the desert with the Ark. So far respected archeologists have found no evidence that there ever was an exodus from Egypt to the “Promised Land.” Biblical Archaeologist Hector Avalos is skeptical of the exodus stating that, “one to two million people are going to leave an awful lot of garbage.” Some of the things which they might have left behind are pots, pans, shelters, excrement, etc. The fact is that none of those things have even been found and people have certainly spent a great deal of money searching for such evidence.
While it is doubtful that the Ark of the Covenant will burn people’s faces off, there is some debate about what the Ark’s re-emergence might mean. Some Christians believe that the Ark is in Heaven because of a passage in the Book of Revelations. So the Ark’s re-emergence might call into question the validity of that book which has become the cornerstone of many End of Days ministries. Many Muslims believe that the Ark can only be found shortly before the End of Days.
