Oh wherefore art thou? Ark of the Covenant

"The moment I saw it, I felt there was something weird about it," said Parfitt, a professor of modern Jewish studies at the University of London's School of African and Oriental Studies. "I wasn't simply in the presence of a neutral object."

Parfitt believes he has found the Ark of the Covenant, the legendary vessel that once housed the Ten Commandments. Or at least something like it.

His 20-year hunt ended last year in Zimbabwe, at the Harare Museum of Human Science, where he found his treasure in a dusty storeroom.

According to the Book of Exodus, the Ark of the Covenant - a gold-covered container carried on poles, topped with two golden cherubim facing each other - was crafted on orders from God given to Moses at Mount Sinai.

The Ark of the Covenant, the tablets that God's finger wrote the law, or ten commandments upon, has been the research of many a poor boy. There are 12 replicas and the Ark depending on who you listen to is anywhere from japan, ethiopia Nova Scotia, the American south west, England Wales and any european country along the way, china, and even New Zealand....So where is the Ark?? Is there really an ark? and if So, why would the roman Catholic church stop the world from
viewing it??

Abuna Pauolos, patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia said
"The Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia for many centuries," "As a patriarch I have seen it with my own eyes and only few highly qualified persons could do the same, until now."

According to Pauolos, the actual Ark has been kept in one church, but to defend the treasure, a copy was placed in every single church in Ethiopia.

He said a museum is being built in Axum, Ethiopia, where the Ark will be displayed.

The Ark of the Covenant is the sacred container of the Ten Commandments as well as Aaron's rod and a sample of manna, the mysterious food that kept the Israelites alive while wandering in the wilderness during their journey to the promised land.

The Bible says the Ark was built to the specifications of God as He spoke to Moses. It was carried in advance of the people and their army by priests. It was also carried in a seven-day procession around the walled city of Jericho.

The idea that the Ark is presently in Ethiopia is a well-documented, albeit disputed, tradition dating back to at least 642 B.C. The tradition says it was moved to Elephantine Island in Egypt, then to Tana Kirkos Island in Ethiopia and finally to its present site at St. Mary's of Zion Church in Axum.

Ethiopians believe it is destined to be delivered to the Messiah when He reigns on Mount Zion - the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 3:16 points to a time when the Ark will vanish not only physically, but from the minds of the people: "And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more."

The Book of Revelation says the Ark is in the temple of God in heaven (Rev. 11:19). Muslim scholars say it will be found near the end of times by the Mahdi - a messianic figure in Islam.

with Pope Benedict XVI this week, said, "Soon the world will be able to admire the Ark of the Covenant described in the Bible as the container of the tablets of the law that God delivered to Moses and the center of searches and studies for centuries."

He had suggested the possibility the artifact might be viewable in a planned museum.

"I repeat (the Ark of the Covenant) is in Ethiopia and nobody … knows for how much time. Only God knows," he said in the Andkronos report available online.

The newest research suggests that the 'ark of the covenant' is actually more than one piece, and that the 'ark' described in the Bible, is actually one of the compoments in a complex planetary wide system. What exactly that system can do and is for? The research has many theories; none of which really explain much. The 'ark' in ethopia is actually another reproduction, and has little actual bearing to any of the 'real' arks. (BTW Japan claims to have an Ark also and performs a ritual similar to the church at ethopia - neither church moves their phony arks on atonement day -the only day you are supposed to move the ark)
What is a real ark? whatever Ron Wyatt found, has something to do with (one of) the real arks. I think an ark is much like a crystal skull, very very rare in actual ancient form, and generally used for some ancient purpose we don't understand yet. A theory suggests that the ark of the covenant is actually a misnomer, a metaphor. Much of the research says that 'Noah' built the first ark. And that the ark of the covenant and Noah's Ark are one in the same...how? - Let's explain something first...what is Noah?

Noah isn't a single person, in ancient times, many peoples were named after their leaders, or had a common name; Noah or No'h wasn't a person at all, but an entire civilization - like Atlantis or Rome. So when the Bible says 'Noah built an ark" and continues with the myth of placing all the animals on a single 'boat' it's totally metaphorical. What's most interesting is that the newest research suggests that arks are real, and there are 5 of them, and they are clearly visable from space to this day. The research says, that at the center of each continent there is a 120 degree arc on a raised plataeu. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64oOtXitw4A shows clearly where these arcs are.

So now you should be really confused, but it does make some innate sense - some researchers believe Noah's ark and the ark of the covenant were related to each other. The coincidence was too great and too obvious for something not to be there. But it wasn't until this newest research cropped up that some solid evidence on ancient arc technology that a pairing of the data could be finally made. (interestingly enough - to this day a group of Japanese called 'Noh' or 'Onoh do a ceremony to Buddha every year and have been doing this ceremony for over 1000 years)
Now - the ark Ron Wyatt found was probably the ark of Moses, the last real ark to be built. While much isn't known about the ark, a couple things are known, one being that it made anyone that came near it, very sick until death. Ron Wyatt died actually in the matter the bible stated if in contact with the ark. Ron's death and reason for death are confirmed facts, and it's nothing you can die from very easily unless you worked at a radiation facility (nuclear plant - nuclear medical facility). But if Ron is right, the research also says, more than one ark was built. The one in Ethopia and Japan are copies of real arks, but which real ark, and when? The ark of Solomon and David are probably in the Americas, and that like Noah, Solomon and David weren't just kings; but an entire peoples/civilization. And that Solomon and David were trying to restore the glory of earth before the time of the Noah by rebuilding these ark plataues. A certain theory states that the ark of the convenant may not be one thing, but part of a complex system, with the 'mercy seat' as the ark is technically called, being the centerpiece that is most tangible and observable to viewers, even if they die a few months upon viewing
.
The Mercy Seat, is probably like Ron described, but it IS NOT THE ARK!...it is merely PART of the ark, the centerpiece yes, but worthless without the whole 'temple' complex being online also. The real ark, is the mercy seat probably in the basement of a pyramid, with music going on outside the pyramid, this combination is probably how the whole thing worked. The beating of drums caused ultra low frequency responses, you would sit in the mercy seat, and be able to 'see the world or the solar system' as if you were floating in space and time...because you probably were able to with this set up. While this feature was a part of the system, priests in later centuries were more concerned with the 'talking to the dead' ability. Which would also give them prophecy. The research at Maes' Howe believes this scenerio is highly likely...


Much research on the Ark in Ethopia, revealed the Templars left messages as to where the real ark is as well as wrote the kirkwall scroll, which is an account of a voyage that Sinclair (st. Clair) took before Columbus arrived (It also explains Oak Island, Nova Scotia, artifacts - Eco Umberto's research says a templar ship landed there before Columbus).

The Kirkwall Scroll is a panel map...and already laid out..you are supposed to fold it a special way and the map is revealed.-has anyone figured this simple templar trick out? I'm sure they have but aren't telling!)

seems to be a map of a voyage in which the end lies in a great valley of some sort where pyramids numbering in the dozens are nestled, encompassing a small pyramid where the ark is supposed to rest. The funny thing about the Kirkwall scroll is that it resembles an existing yet barely known pyramid complex in Peru called muribecca (http://www.rickrichards.com/ac/ac_2.htm) and neighboring ancient cities like this one...http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/Ugha.html
I highly suspect that the pyramid shapes in the Kirkwall scroll are in fact, pyramids (not mountains as the so called experts claim) and the only place such pyramid complexes exist is in the new world. (the mexican city of Teotihuacan for example). (Giza is not a completed complex as David never finished his 'temple')

Despite the tale of time, there is still more than enough evidence in that area to suggest Egyptian culture and contact had been established...There is a lot of evidence to suggest that the pre incan cultures had intimate contact with the north/western african kingdoms of times from 3500 BC- 800/300 BC?. Another clue comes from Tut's DNA sample which says that the boy king had traces of cocaine in his system; something that could only be obtained from a trade route to the Peruvian areas. No other place grew coca in ancient times nor was it possible to grow anywhere else, and to this day South America is still just about the only place you can grow good steady crops of coca Pharaohs were found with Cocain in their systems
an American crop, also they were embalmed with tobacco products and leaves from south America.....

The Ark of the Covenant, a prized possession or a curse? The Ark will be revealed when all of the world has completely subverted the
true law, then God will reveal the ark, and men will bow down to it, because the rule of man over man will be over......
