A man thinks he knows the location of the biblical ark. 3000 years ago in the holy city of Jerusalem King Solomon ordered the construction of a magnificent temple. It's purpose was to house one of the holiest objects of the old testament faith. A golden chest known as the ark of the covenant and the stones upon which the 10 commandments were reportedly engraved. According to the Bible these stones had unimaginable supernatural powers. For centuries the stones lay safe inside Solomon's temple, but then the chest and the stone tablets disappear from history. What happened to the chest and the stones is one of the greatest mysteries of the bible. Now one man thinks he knows where the stones are, this is his story.



Don't get me wrong, I love stuff like this,,,but Raiders of the faux ark: Biblical archeology is too important to leave to crackpots and ideologues. It's time to fight back.
Then there is Michael Sanders, who has made a habit of using NASA satellite photographs to search for biblical locations and objects. From 1998 to 2001, Sanders announced that he had not only located the lost cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, but also the Garden of Eden, the Ark of the Covenant, and the Tower of Babel.

Sanders describes himself on his website as a "Biblical Scholar of Archaeology, Egyptology and Assyriology," but according to the Los Angeles Times, he "concedes that he has no formal archeological training." Other newspaper accounts describe him as a "self-made scholar" who did research in parapsychology at Duke University.

" In short, the amateur arena is full of deeply flawed junk science. Important issues are cloaked in legitimate-sounding terminology, little attention is paid to the investigative process, and contrary evidence is ignored.
