Is it buried somewhere? 12 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,600 Was it looted? Was it stolen? 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,620 There are those who believe that if the Ark is ever found, it will provide 14 00:00:50,620 --> 00:00:57,420 undeniable proof of extraterrestrial visitation. The Ark of the Covenant is 15 00:00:57,420 --> 00:00:59,680 ultimate alien artifact. 16 00:01:03,210 --> 00:01:06,110 There is a doorway in the universe. 17 00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:10,610 Beyond it is the promise of truth. 18 00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:16,390 It demands we question everything we have ever been taught. 19 00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:19,990 The evidence is all around us. 20 00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:24,110 The future is right before our eyes. 21 00:01:24,470 --> 00:01:26,870 We are not alone. 22 00:01:27,210 --> 00:01:30,070 We have never been alone. 23 00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:44,260 Jerusalem, January 28, 2011. 24 00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:51,720 It is a quiet winter night inside the Al -Aqsa Mosque compound, which sits on 25 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:57,160 the Temple Mount, a site considered hallowed ground by Muslims, Christians, 26 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,160 Jews. 27 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,000 But at roughly 1 a .m., in the sky above the Dome of the Rock, an extraordinary 28 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,540 scene unfolds that is captured on video. 29 00:02:08,490 --> 00:02:13,290 This pulsating light, which was witnessed from multiple different 30 00:02:13,630 --> 00:02:15,390 descends down. 31 00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:21,190 Right on top of the Temple Mount. 32 00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:24,250 And all of a sudden, a flash. 33 00:02:25,710 --> 00:02:28,250 And then it disappears up into heaven. 34 00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:33,830 If this is genuine, it's of extreme significance. 35 00:02:34,050 --> 00:02:37,270 It's a sight of immense significance. 36 00:02:38,330 --> 00:02:41,770 to all three of the world's main religions. 37 00:02:42,190 --> 00:02:46,550 They have all, for thousands of years, worshipped there. 38 00:02:46,870 --> 00:02:53,390 It is a site where they believe there are things of great power, maybe still 39 00:02:53,390 --> 00:02:54,390 hidden. 40 00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:57,450 What happened? What was that? 41 00:02:58,010 --> 00:03:02,290 There are those who interpret and understand this to have been something 42 00:03:02,290 --> 00:03:05,970 technological, possibly turning on. 43 00:03:07,850 --> 00:03:09,950 activating something buried beneath. 44 00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:16,810 There are many who believe that this pulsating light was connecting with the 45 00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:17,810 of the Covenant. 46 00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:21,070 The Ark of the Covenant? 47 00:03:21,510 --> 00:03:24,850 The golden chest built to house the Ten Commandments? 48 00:03:25,970 --> 00:03:31,350 Could this incredible UFO event have been connected to one of the most 49 00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:36,990 and most mysterious religious artifacts of all time? Is it possible? 50 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,080 that the Ark of the Covenant is still with us to this day. 51 00:03:42,540 --> 00:03:43,540 It's possible. 52 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,060 We don't know. 53 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,340 According to the stories of the Hebrew Bible, the Ark of the Covenant did at 54 00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:53,520 time reside in this very spot. 55 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,880 And there are those who believe it is still hidden somewhere on the site. 56 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:04,020 But this holy relic went missing more than 2 ,500 years ago, and people have 57 00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:05,720 been searching for it ever since. 58 00:04:07,390 --> 00:04:11,230 considered the most sacred and mysterious artifact in ancient Israel. 59 00:04:11,450 --> 00:04:16,510 The Ark of the Covenant was revered by the Hebrew people as the embodiment of 60 00:04:16,510 --> 00:04:17,950 God's presence on earth. 61 00:04:18,850 --> 00:04:24,510 What was so special about the Ark was that it housed the history of the 62 00:04:24,510 --> 00:04:25,970 Israelites once they left Egypt. 63 00:04:26,770 --> 00:04:33,370 It reminded a people who had been slaves in Egypt for millennia that they were 64 00:04:33,370 --> 00:04:34,370 not alone. 65 00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:36,930 that this God was constantly with them. 66 00:04:37,650 --> 00:04:41,770 The story of the Ark begins in the 15th century B .C. 67 00:04:43,330 --> 00:04:48,170 According to the Bible's book of Exodus, after the Israelites were released from 68 00:04:48,170 --> 00:04:53,390 Egypt, God summoned Moses to the peak of Mount Sinai and gave him two stone 69 00:04:53,390 --> 00:04:56,270 tablets carved with the Ten Commandments. 70 00:04:57,150 --> 00:05:01,890 He also gave him specific instructions for building the Ark of the Covenant. 71 00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:06,430 Moses was given very specific measurements. It was to be two and a 72 00:05:06,430 --> 00:05:09,590 long, one and a half cubits wide, one and a half cubits deep. 73 00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:13,550 So we're looking at a container that was a little over four feet long and about 74 00:05:13,550 --> 00:05:17,490 two feet wide and two feet deep. The container must be made of acacia wood, 75 00:05:17,490 --> 00:05:18,730 it must be covered with gold. 76 00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:26,110 The top of the ark was to be surmounted by angels, two cherubim with large 77 00:05:26,110 --> 00:05:30,350 wings that would face each other, and their wings would cover the top of the 78 00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:31,350 ark. 79 00:05:32,780 --> 00:05:38,700 The Ark was designed to be carried by poles, inserted into four gold rings, 80 00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:40,240 on each side of the container. 81 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,220 It was very important that no one touch the Ark. It was too powerful, too holy, 82 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,500 and a person would die if they touched it. 83 00:05:48,780 --> 00:05:53,720 It was also covered in a very elaborate way so that passers -by wouldn't look at 84 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,440 it. Such was the power of the Ark of the Covenant that it would be dangerous 85 00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,540 even to look at it. 86 00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:04,860 The lid of the ark was called the mercy seat, and there were said to be two 87 00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:09,880 cherubims on top, with their wings pointing to each other, with a gap 88 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,160 them. This is actually the gap where Yahweh, or God, was supposed to have 89 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,160 spoken. 90 00:06:15,820 --> 00:06:22,600 In Exodus 25, 22, God tells Moses, when you build this, I will meet 91 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,720 you between the cherubim, and I will give you command. 92 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,380 Ancient accounts of the Ark portray it as possessing mysterious powers that 93 00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:37,460 aided the Israelites during their journey to the Promised Land. 94 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,420 Parting rivers, leveling mountains, and destroying armies. 95 00:06:44,980 --> 00:06:48,600 But it was also incredibly dangerous to handle. 96 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,720 Whatever the Ark of the Covenant was, the object was definitely very, very 97 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,840 dangerous. In the second day... 98 00:06:56,170 --> 00:07:00,270 book of the king, you can read that several accidents happened. 99 00:07:01,350 --> 00:07:07,570 A priest with the name of Uzzah touched the ark and like an electrical shock, he 100 00:07:07,570 --> 00:07:09,350 just fell on the ground and he was dead. 101 00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:16,090 In the Bible, we have multiple stories of people not only dying when they came 102 00:07:16,090 --> 00:07:21,910 in contact with the ark, but some didn't die, but only died a week or two later. 103 00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:28,370 How did they die? Because they had boils on their skin and their hair started to 104 00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:34,310 fall out. Well, that is a sign of radioactive poisoning or radioactive 105 00:07:35,150 --> 00:07:41,090 The most important thing about trying to understand how the Ark of the Covenant 106 00:07:41,090 --> 00:07:47,610 functions is the fact that specific instructions were given by God to Moses 107 00:07:47,610 --> 00:07:50,990 about how it was to be manufactured. 108 00:07:52,030 --> 00:07:57,090 the exact size, how it's to be raised off the ground, how it's to be carried. 109 00:07:57,350 --> 00:08:02,950 So there were specifics here that had to be carried out. And this tells us 110 00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:08,330 almost certainly that we are dealing with technology, a technology that was 111 00:08:08,330 --> 00:08:15,330 given either by God or by some kind of entity or being of 112 00:08:15,330 --> 00:08:17,190 non -terrestrial origin. 113 00:08:18,550 --> 00:08:19,650 Is it possible? 114 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,800 As ancient astronaut theorists suggest, that the baffling powers ascribed to the 115 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,340 Ark provide evidence that it contained highly advanced and perhaps 116 00:08:29,340 --> 00:08:31,360 extraterrestrial technology. 117 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:39,120 In 957 BC, construction was completed on King Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, 118 00:08:39,539 --> 00:08:44,800 built on the same site where the Dome of the Rock stands today, and designed 119 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,320 with the primary purpose of housing the Ark of the Covenant. 120 00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:54,320 The Ark would remain here for 350 years and then disappear from the historical 121 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,360 record forever. 122 00:08:56,580 --> 00:09:03,360 In 586 BC, the Babylonians, under King Nebuchadnezzar, 123 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,920 sacked and destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple of Solomon. 124 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,520 It was said that they carried away to Babylon all of the treasures of the 125 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,500 Israelites, the treasures of the Temple. 126 00:09:17,050 --> 00:09:22,590 However, there is no mention in any account that they took away the Ark of 127 00:09:22,590 --> 00:09:26,090 Covenant. So what happened to the Ark of the Covenant? 128 00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:33,470 The first theory is that Jeremiah or King Josiah took the Ark and hid it away 129 00:09:33,470 --> 00:09:34,149 a cave. 130 00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:39,010 There's another piece of speculation is that the Babylonians just took it and 131 00:09:39,010 --> 00:09:43,370 they desecrated it. But if they had done that, people would have known about it. 132 00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:48,820 The voice of God was heard through the Ark. And for those people that believe 133 00:09:48,820 --> 00:09:54,100 the voice of God was extraterrestrial, well, the Ark of the Covenant is the 134 00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:55,920 ultimate alien artifact. 135 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,540 Ancient astronaut theorists believe that finding the Ark will result in 136 00:10:02,540 --> 00:10:06,380 incredible revelations about humanity's extraterrestrial past. 137 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,740 and could also facilitate direct communication with otherworldly entities 138 00:10:12,740 --> 00:10:14,200 watching over Earth today. 139 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,660 But does the Ark still lie hidden at Temple Mount? 140 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,960 Many claim the most compelling evidence points to the Ark leaving Jerusalem 141 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,780 centuries ago, spirited away by a band of warrior monks. 142 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,650 July. 1099 A .D. 143 00:10:39,510 --> 00:10:43,950 Muslim -controlled Jerusalem is captured by medieval Christian forces. 144 00:10:44,430 --> 00:10:49,190 The bloody siege leaves the city ransacked by the victorious crusaders. 145 00:10:51,010 --> 00:10:56,110 But spared from destruction are two mosques that have stood on Temple Mount 146 00:10:56,110 --> 00:10:57,230 400 years. 147 00:10:57,930 --> 00:11:01,930 These holy sites were saved to serve another purpose. 148 00:11:02,530 --> 00:11:06,250 The Dome of the Rock is converted into a Catholic church. 149 00:11:07,820 --> 00:11:13,320 and the Al -Aqsa Mosque is given to a newly formed monastic fighting force, 150 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,720 Order of Solomon's Temple, also known as the Knights Templar. 151 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,500 This was a holy order of knights who were interested in the safety of 152 00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:31,060 going from Europe to Jerusalem to the temple. And they would guard them, and 153 00:11:31,060 --> 00:11:32,300 they would protect their wealth. 154 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,880 They essentially invented banking as a way to protect travelers from high 155 00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:43,500 But protecting pilgrims was not the Templars' only directive while stationed 156 00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:44,500 Temple Mount. 157 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,260 They were also charged with searching for treasure and religious artifacts. 158 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:56,220 The Knights Templars got a commission from the Pope to actually do excavations 159 00:11:56,220 --> 00:11:57,220 at Solomon's Temple. 160 00:11:57,540 --> 00:12:02,220 And the Templars, that is largely what they did while they were... In 161 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:08,240 the story there goes that the Templars actually discovered a secret chamber 162 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,220 beneath the temple. 163 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:17,260 They claim to have found all sorts of holy relics. And we know they found 164 00:12:17,260 --> 00:12:23,420 certain things because they became very rich very quickly. But legend said that 165 00:12:23,420 --> 00:12:28,580 amongst all these things they found was the Ark of the Covenant. 166 00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:38,650 On July 4, 1187, the Knights Templar were forced to leave Jerusalem when 167 00:12:38,650 --> 00:12:40,470 armies retook the Holy City. 168 00:12:43,250 --> 00:12:48,170 The Templars set sail for Europe, and it was rumored that they carried with them 169 00:12:48,170 --> 00:12:53,790 the holy relics they had recovered at Temple Mount, including the Ark of the 170 00:12:53,790 --> 00:12:54,790 Covenant. 171 00:12:55,010 --> 00:13:00,050 By the end of the 13th century, the Knights Templar had established a new 172 00:13:00,050 --> 00:13:01,650 of operations in France. 173 00:13:02,170 --> 00:13:08,630 I do believe that the Templars did find the Ark and successfully transported it 174 00:13:08,630 --> 00:13:15,170 to Paris, where they were hailed as heroes. For some reason, overnight, 175 00:13:15,170 --> 00:13:19,450 were trying to join the orders, and the King of France was promoting them. I 176 00:13:19,450 --> 00:13:23,390 believe the reason for that is because they succeeded in their mission to find 177 00:13:23,390 --> 00:13:26,010 the Ark, which is why they were there in the first place. 178 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,700 The Templars used their vast wealth to finance the construction of Chartres 179 00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:36,700 Cathedral, one of the finest examples of Gothic -style architecture in the 180 00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:37,700 world. 181 00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:43,120 And it was rumored that the cathedral had a direct connection to the Ark of 182 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,120 Covenant. 183 00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:51,600 In 1966, in a book called The Mysteries of Chartres Cathedral, Louis 184 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:58,010 Charpentier... claimed that the Templars had indeed found this holy object and 185 00:13:58,010 --> 00:14:04,530 had brought it back to France and that this had someway inspired the design 186 00:14:04,530 --> 00:14:11,330 of Chartres Cathedral which embodied many principles of sacred geometry 187 00:14:11,330 --> 00:14:18,110 mathematical ideas that had been brought over from the Sufi and Islamic 188 00:14:18,110 --> 00:14:19,790 peoples of the Holy Land 189 00:14:20,970 --> 00:14:27,810 Sufism included a lot of ideas relating to sacred architecture. This was 190 00:14:27,810 --> 00:14:31,630 how to design the perfect house of God. 191 00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:36,770 Some believe that the Knights Templar actually built this breathtaking 192 00:14:36,770 --> 00:14:38,810 to house the Ark of the Covenant. 193 00:14:39,230 --> 00:14:44,350 And they point to one very credible source that claims the Ark was deposited 194 00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:46,750 here, the cathedral itself. 195 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,920 Carvings on the North Portico depict the Templars recovering the Ark of the 196 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:58,520 Covenant, then carrying it off, led by an angel, with God hidden overhead in a 197 00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,520 cloud. 198 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:04,740 Inscribed in Latin text are the words, Here is hidden the Ark of the Covenant. 199 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,120 There are many legends in France about where the Ark was kept during the time 200 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,980 period the Templars were the guardians. 201 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,560 Some say it was in the crypt of Chartres Cathedral. 202 00:15:14,140 --> 00:15:18,380 It's likely that the Ark of the Covenant was moved around to different locations 203 00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:22,100 in France to protect it and to keep it from being discovered. 204 00:15:22,780 --> 00:15:27,120 All who have attempted to find the Ark of the Covenant at Chartres Cathedral 205 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,340 have come up empty -handed. 206 00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:35,340 But if the Templars truly were in possession of the Ark, there is good 207 00:15:35,340 --> 00:15:40,480 believe they would have moved it at least once more to keep its otherworldly 208 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,020 powers from the hands of a dangerous enemy. 209 00:15:43,530 --> 00:15:45,910 the king of France, Philip IV. 210 00:15:46,630 --> 00:15:51,910 The Templars were incredibly rich, and King Philip was engaged in a series of 211 00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:54,130 wars that were depleting his coffers. 212 00:15:54,330 --> 00:15:57,990 He tried to become their grandmaster, and they said no. 213 00:15:58,190 --> 00:15:59,590 They refused him. 214 00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:03,170 So he decided to take what they had by force instead. 215 00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:06,070 But they did know he was coming. 216 00:16:06,490 --> 00:16:09,490 It was obviously time to get the Ark out of Paris. 217 00:16:10,730 --> 00:16:17,700 On Friday, October 13th, 1307, King Philip of France, with the backing of 218 00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:22,240 Pope Clement V, ordered the arrest of every Templar in France. 219 00:16:25,060 --> 00:16:31,060 King Philip accused the Templars of heresy, immorality, and worship of a 220 00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:32,060 idol. 221 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:37,820 But ancient astronaut theorists suggest that based on accounts of the idol, this 222 00:16:37,820 --> 00:16:39,460 may be a case of misunderstood. 223 00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:46,410 There were rumors that the Templars were in possession of this horrible -looking 224 00:16:46,410 --> 00:16:53,090 idol with one glowing red eye and another eye that's barely blinking. Of 225 00:16:53,150 --> 00:16:59,950 a technologically primitive person would not recognize that that is a 226 00:16:59,950 --> 00:17:00,950 type of a machine. 227 00:17:01,190 --> 00:17:04,010 But I think this was an extraterrestrial device. 228 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,579 It was said that they spoke to this demon, that this demon would speak back 229 00:17:09,579 --> 00:17:10,619 them and give them instructions. 230 00:17:10,980 --> 00:17:16,500 We know from scripture, we know from the Bible itself, that the Ark was built as 231 00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:17,540 a communication device. 232 00:17:19,140 --> 00:17:24,839 For some researchers, the description of a demonic idol with glowing red eyes 233 00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:27,560 that gave instructions to the Knights Templar. 234 00:17:27,770 --> 00:17:32,310 brings to mind the biblical accounts of how the Israelite priests communicated 235 00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:34,670 with God through the Ark of the Covenant. 236 00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:41,150 The high priest was required by biblical law to wear a special type of a 237 00:17:41,150 --> 00:17:46,250 breastplate, which had special types of gemstones on it. The high priest could 238 00:17:46,250 --> 00:17:50,910 oscillate his voice to create specific types of sounds. 239 00:17:51,470 --> 00:17:55,530 It would cause these stones to come alive. 240 00:17:58,130 --> 00:18:03,350 the stones on the breastplate would light up. They would begin to emit 241 00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:04,350 colors. 242 00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:09,950 You have light flashing off of this high priest as he's firing up the Ark of the 243 00:18:09,950 --> 00:18:14,270 Covenant. And then the Ark had rainbow light coming off of it. 244 00:18:16,450 --> 00:18:22,090 To this day, many researchers believe that the idol the Templars were accused 245 00:18:22,090 --> 00:18:24,250 worshipping was the Ark of the Covenant. 246 00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:26,130 But if so... 247 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,680 What became of it? 248 00:18:28,420 --> 00:18:34,940 Some suggest the world's most sacred religious relic ultimately ended up 249 00:18:34,940 --> 00:18:38,680 hidden in a mysterious chapel in Scotland. 250 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,440 Paris, France. 251 00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:47,700 March 18, 1314. 252 00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:53,800 Jean de Molay, the 23rd and final Grand Master of the Knights Templar. 253 00:18:54,270 --> 00:18:57,150 is executed by order of King Philip IV. 254 00:18:58,370 --> 00:19:03,510 But according to historical accounts, he already had a plan in place for the 255 00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:06,930 surviving Templars to make their escape in the event of his capture. 256 00:19:08,190 --> 00:19:13,050 Jacques de Molay had an enormous responsibility to protect the legacy of 257 00:19:13,050 --> 00:19:15,330 Templars were and what they stood for. 258 00:19:15,570 --> 00:19:21,150 And part of this legacy was their guardianship of these holy relics, and 259 00:19:21,150 --> 00:19:23,010 specifically the Ark of the Covenant. 260 00:19:24,250 --> 00:19:29,450 King Philip set out to capture a fleet of 18 Templar ships that were said to be 261 00:19:29,450 --> 00:19:32,990 docked at the port of La Rochelle on the Atlantic coast of France. 262 00:19:33,570 --> 00:19:38,030 But when the king's forces arrived, there was not a ship in sight. 263 00:19:39,110 --> 00:19:44,970 The Knights Templar disappeared, as well as many of the holy relics that they 264 00:19:44,970 --> 00:19:47,890 unquestionably held in their possession. 265 00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:53,780 Vatican records suggest... The fleet of ships carried the escaping Templars and 266 00:19:53,780 --> 00:19:58,080 their mysterious treasure to Scotland, where they were welcomed by King Robert 267 00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,080 the Bruce. 268 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:04,040 Like the Knights Templar, Robert the Bruce had been excommunicated by the 269 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,620 He was also embroiled in a bitter war of independence against Edward II of 270 00:20:09,620 --> 00:20:14,760 England. And according to the story, the Templars joined his forces on the 271 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:15,760 battlefield. 272 00:20:17,020 --> 00:20:20,220 There's a wonderful legend of knights. 273 00:20:20,670 --> 00:20:25,790 in white at the Battle of Donnockburn, defeating, decimating the English army. 274 00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:31,190 The Templar knights had to have been at that battle. 275 00:20:32,030 --> 00:20:37,410 The Templars were revered as great warriors, but some question whether they 276 00:20:37,410 --> 00:20:41,910 aided by a powerful weapon they may have been carrying with them, the Ark of the 277 00:20:41,910 --> 00:20:42,910 Covenant. 278 00:20:43,990 --> 00:20:48,370 People have asked, could this actually be used as a weapon? Of course it could 279 00:20:48,370 --> 00:20:51,630 be. I mean, can you imagine having that kind of technology? 280 00:20:52,190 --> 00:20:56,110 There's no question that the Ark of the Covenant radiated a power that could be 281 00:20:56,110 --> 00:20:57,530 used for military advantage. 282 00:20:57,870 --> 00:21:03,430 When the Israelites carried it into battle, it assisted them in assuring 283 00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:04,430 victory. 284 00:21:06,050 --> 00:21:09,970 If the Ark was carried before an army, that army would become invincible. 285 00:21:10,630 --> 00:21:13,290 There are stories of the Ark killing scorpions and serpents. 286 00:21:13,490 --> 00:21:17,350 The Ark in many ways was protective. It was protective of the Israelites on 287 00:21:17,350 --> 00:21:18,350 their journey. 288 00:21:19,370 --> 00:21:24,770 The Ark of the Covenant would march before the children of Israel as they 289 00:21:24,770 --> 00:21:29,830 through the desert, clearing out anything that was a danger to them. 290 00:21:30,290 --> 00:21:34,150 When you're in the wilderness, you have wild animals, you have poisonous 291 00:21:34,150 --> 00:21:40,010 surface. The Ark would prepare the way. How it did this, we still do not know. 292 00:21:40,730 --> 00:21:47,590 No one had actual visual awareness or contact with what was happening. 293 00:21:48,170 --> 00:21:53,170 All we have is the mystery of knowing that it did march miles before the 294 00:21:53,170 --> 00:21:54,870 preparing the way for them. 295 00:21:56,730 --> 00:22:03,570 In my opinion, the Ark of the Covenant functioned as a capacitor, drawing in 296 00:22:03,570 --> 00:22:10,270 electrostatic energies from the environment into its interior. 297 00:22:10,890 --> 00:22:16,130 but that something was then triggering it to radiate out some kind of 298 00:22:16,130 --> 00:22:21,910 electromagnetic field, one that was so strong that it would strike people down 299 00:22:21,910 --> 00:22:23,590 who came too close. 300 00:22:24,170 --> 00:22:27,750 And I would say that it contained something radioactive. 301 00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:34,450 Is it possible that the Ark of the Covenant was a radioactive device that 302 00:22:34,450 --> 00:22:36,470 be used as a devastating weapon? 303 00:22:37,130 --> 00:22:41,610 And could knowledge of the Ark's awesome powers be a reason that the Knights 304 00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:46,350 Templar kept this dangerous object hidden and away from the hands of their 305 00:22:46,350 --> 00:22:52,170 enemies? Some researchers say that Templar allies, the powerful Sinclair 306 00:22:52,450 --> 00:22:57,350 understood the importance of protecting the Ark and built an elaborate hiding 307 00:22:57,350 --> 00:23:00,830 place for the dangerous object, Roslyn Chapel. 308 00:23:01,170 --> 00:23:04,490 Roslyn Chapel is one of the most mysterious... 309 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:12,180 holy places in the whole of scotland many people have likened its design its 310 00:23:12,180 --> 00:23:19,020 cruciform design to the layout of king solomon's temple and this has raised 311 00:23:19,020 --> 00:23:25,620 the question of whether or not the knights templar may have brought 312 00:23:25,620 --> 00:23:31,820 the ark of the covenant to scotland and the roslyn chapel could have been 313 00:23:31,820 --> 00:23:32,820 constructed 314 00:23:33,580 --> 00:23:35,220 as its new resting place. 315 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:42,680 That chapel contains a crypt deep beneath it, and many historians believe 316 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,460 the Ark of the Covenant was kept there for a while. 317 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,860 Rosslyn Chapel is full of Templar symbolism, including carvings of Templar 318 00:23:50,860 --> 00:23:55,360 knights and a gravestone that belonged to another Templar. 319 00:23:55,770 --> 00:23:58,650 The Templars are inextricable with the legends of Rosslyn Chapel. 320 00:23:58,990 --> 00:24:03,030 Rosslyn Chapel is really the symbol of Templar presence in Scotland. 321 00:24:04,130 --> 00:24:08,650 While millions of people are convinced that the Knights Templar recovered the 322 00:24:08,650 --> 00:24:13,410 Ark of the Covenant at Temple Mount and hid it somewhere along their journeys, 323 00:24:13,610 --> 00:24:19,750 likely in France or Scotland, there are just as many who believe that it was 324 00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:23,770 taken out of Jerusalem long before the Templars even existed. 325 00:24:24,250 --> 00:24:29,950 And some profess to have seen the Ark and witnessed its ethereal powers with 326 00:24:29,950 --> 00:24:34,390 their own eyes in a most unlikely place, Ethiopia. 327 00:24:41,390 --> 00:24:44,590 Aksum, Ethiopia, November 2020. 328 00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:50,930 Pro -government troops stormed the ancient sacred city, searching out 329 00:24:50,930 --> 00:24:53,210 aligned with the region's former ruling party. 330 00:24:53,710 --> 00:24:59,930 the TPLF. It is one episode in a conflict that has been raging for weeks. 331 00:24:59,930 --> 00:25:05,630 this time, the soldiers target Axum's holiest site, the Church of Our Lady 332 00:25:05,630 --> 00:25:06,630 of Zion. 333 00:25:07,650 --> 00:25:12,650 Incredibly, hundreds of civilians race to the defense of the church and prevent 334 00:25:12,650 --> 00:25:14,230 the soldiers from gaining access. 335 00:25:15,650 --> 00:25:19,690 A staggering 800 are reportedly killed in the process. 336 00:25:20,670 --> 00:25:24,660 But more than the church itself, They were protecting the extraordinary 337 00:25:24,660 --> 00:25:27,760 religious artifact that is said to be held inside. 338 00:25:29,140 --> 00:25:31,040 The Ark of the Covenant. 339 00:25:31,420 --> 00:25:36,700 There are many who believe that the Ark is in Axum. In fact, it's believed by 340 00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:40,760 millions of Orthodox Christians that the Ark of the Covenant is there. 341 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,220 Although many researchers believe, there is strong evidence that the ninth 342 00:25:46,220 --> 00:25:50,560 Templar recovered the Ark of the Covenant during their excavations at 343 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:51,560 Mount. 344 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,420 Others say that the Ark had been removed from Jerusalem centuries before the 345 00:25:56,420 --> 00:25:57,840 Templars even arrived. 346 00:25:58,300 --> 00:26:03,660 The main proponents of this theory are the Christians of Ethiopia, who believe 347 00:26:03,660 --> 00:26:09,840 the Ark was brought to Aksum nearly 3 ,000 years ago, where it has continued 348 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,160 exert its strange powers ever since. 349 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:19,520 One version of the fate of the Ark of the Covenant is contained within 350 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,240 an Ethiopian... 351 00:26:21,470 --> 00:26:28,330 holy book known as the Kebra Nagas. It's a story involving King Solomon, who 352 00:26:28,330 --> 00:26:33,270 had the Ark, and his meeting with the Queen of Sheba. 353 00:26:33,530 --> 00:26:39,950 And it was said that they had a liaison, and that a son was born to the Queen of 354 00:26:39,950 --> 00:26:46,550 Sheba by the name of Menilac, and that eventually Menilac travelled from 355 00:26:46,550 --> 00:26:48,390 his homeland of Ethiopia. 356 00:26:49,450 --> 00:26:52,890 to visit his father Solomon in Israel. 357 00:26:54,690 --> 00:26:59,930 According to the story, when Menelik left Israel, he and his men secretly 358 00:26:59,930 --> 00:27:00,930 the Ark with them. 359 00:27:01,610 --> 00:27:06,290 The details of their journey back to Ethiopia once again illustrate the 360 00:27:06,290 --> 00:27:08,710 otherworldly power of the Ark of the Covenant. 361 00:27:10,130 --> 00:27:15,850 They first go from Jerusalem to Gaza, and then from there they travel into 362 00:27:15,850 --> 00:27:17,090 with the Ark of the Covenant. 363 00:27:18,030 --> 00:27:24,990 And then the Ark of the Covenant is made to fly their wagon. And they then fly 364 00:27:24,990 --> 00:27:31,690 across the Red Sea to the Saudi Arabian Yemen side 365 00:27:31,690 --> 00:27:34,870 of the Red Sea. This is all detailed in the Kebra Nagas. 366 00:27:35,150 --> 00:27:39,730 This book is thousands of years old. It is clearly described that Solomon's son 367 00:27:39,730 --> 00:27:43,190 were flying with the Ark of the Covenant. 368 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,280 They were not on the ground. They were flying over Egypt. 369 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,180 Some temples were destroyed because of the noise and the crumbling. They were 370 00:27:52,180 --> 00:27:53,440 flying and came to Ethiopia. 371 00:27:54,100 --> 00:28:00,980 The Ark of the Covenant was then put in a special church, built for it in Aksum. 372 00:28:02,060 --> 00:28:08,460 One Ethiopian Coptic priest is allowed to live in 373 00:28:08,460 --> 00:28:12,640 that special church, and only he. 374 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:19,200 is allowed to view the Ark, and he is essentially, while he lives, the 375 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,200 of the Ark of the Covenant. 376 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,300 The guardian of the Ark chooses who will be a successor when he dies. 377 00:28:26,660 --> 00:28:30,460 The job is both highly coveted and highly dangerous. 378 00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:36,280 The guardians who've been there, generation after generation, protecting 379 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:41,140 have gone blind, they've had radiation poisoning, they've got cancer. 380 00:28:41,530 --> 00:28:46,430 So it seems that the Ark may have had radioactive qualities which actually 381 00:28:46,430 --> 00:28:50,690 harm to people if you're in the vicinity of it for too long. And this echoes the 382 00:28:50,690 --> 00:28:54,830 original stories, saying it was some all -powerful device. 383 00:28:55,990 --> 00:29:00,330 The same description you find in the book of the kings of the Ethiopians, the 384 00:29:00,330 --> 00:29:05,870 Kebra Negers. There they say the inside of the Ark is not from this planet. 385 00:29:06,890 --> 00:29:10,830 Some believe that the ailments suffered by those said to guard the Ark at the 386 00:29:10,830 --> 00:29:16,010 church in Aksum provide compelling evidence that they are, in fact, 387 00:29:16,010 --> 00:29:17,510 an otherworldly technology. 388 00:29:19,050 --> 00:29:24,090 But there is still another, even more audacious theory regarding what happened 389 00:29:24,090 --> 00:29:29,510 to the Ark of the Covenant and a man who claims to have found it. 390 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,160 Johannesburg, South Africa, 1985. 391 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:48,440 British scholar Tudor Parfit is giving a lecture on his academic specialty, the 392 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,140 history of ancient Jews who settled in Africa. 393 00:29:52,140 --> 00:29:56,140 During his lecture, Parfit is intrigued by a group in the audience. 394 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,120 They're dressed in traditional African garments, but wearing what look like 395 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,300 Jewish skull caps. 396 00:30:03,660 --> 00:30:09,120 They explained that they were the Lemba people and that they were Jews. 397 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,940 The story that they told me was rather compelling, and they invited me to go 398 00:30:14,940 --> 00:30:18,120 with them to their villages, which I did. 399 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,520 And I was convinced by what I saw in these little villages that there was 400 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,840 something profoundly submitting about this group. 401 00:30:29,470 --> 00:30:34,650 Although the Lemba are native to Zimbabwe, they not only observe Semitic 402 00:30:34,650 --> 00:30:40,310 laws and cultural practices, they claimed to be descendants of Jews who 403 00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:42,350 Holy Land thousands of years ago. 404 00:30:43,230 --> 00:30:47,310 Jews known in history as the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. 405 00:30:48,430 --> 00:30:53,350 And according to the Lemba, their ancestors brought a mysterious object 406 00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:55,570 Africa from the Great Temple in Jerusalem. 407 00:30:56,090 --> 00:31:01,300 In his book, The Lost Ark of the Covenant, Parvatt recounts the 408 00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:06,580 the object, called the Ngomolungungu, as a wooden drum used to store sacred 409 00:31:06,580 --> 00:31:07,580 objects. 410 00:31:08,180 --> 00:31:14,640 They would often tell me about the Ngomolungungu, the drum which 411 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,260 thunders. It's quite similar to the Ark of the Covenant. 412 00:31:20,439 --> 00:31:24,680 Like the Ark of the Covenant, there were carrying rings on each corner. 413 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,180 Like the Ark of the Covenant, it had the reputation of being a murderous weapon 414 00:31:30,180 --> 00:31:35,620 that they carried into war, and it assured victory in combat. 415 00:31:36,180 --> 00:31:41,740 So, in lots of ways, the Nagorma 416 00:31:41,740 --> 00:31:47,680 seemed to be very similar to the idea of the Ark of the Covenant. 417 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,520 Not only is there a sacred object that's lost, it's a sacred wooden object 418 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,660 that's carved, that has rings on it, that poles are put through to transport 419 00:31:57,740 --> 00:32:03,080 Let's look at the Ark of War as it's known in Deuteronomy, and let's think 420 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:09,960 this engoma, this drum that thunders, this idea that this drum speaks with 421 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:10,960 the voice of God. 422 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,180 The Ark of the Covenant is the presence of God. 423 00:32:14,540 --> 00:32:17,040 Could they in fact be one and the same? 424 00:32:18,850 --> 00:32:24,670 According to the Lemba, the Ngoma Lungundu had been kept in a cave for 425 00:32:24,670 --> 00:32:26,950 before mysteriously disappearing. 426 00:32:27,870 --> 00:32:33,190 But could the powerful object they described have really been the lost Ark 427 00:32:33,190 --> 00:32:34,190 the Covenant? 428 00:32:34,630 --> 00:32:39,090 And were the Lemba truly the descendants of the ancient Israelites? 429 00:32:41,670 --> 00:32:48,320 In 1997, thanks to advances in DNA technology, Tudor Parfit and 430 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:53,500 a group of British scientists are able to identify a specific genetic signature 431 00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:58,980 for descendants of ancient Israelite priests called Kohanim, who were 432 00:32:58,980 --> 00:33:03,140 by Moses' brother Aaron with the full knowledge of the Ark of the Covenant's 433 00:33:03,140 --> 00:33:04,140 hidden powers. 434 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:10,600 We know that it was the descendants of Aaron who were responsible for 435 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,360 and operating the Ark of the Covenant. 436 00:33:13,539 --> 00:33:17,800 Recently, geneticists have discovered that that lineage continues up until the 437 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:18,679 modern day. 438 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:23,620 Now, if the Ark of the Covenant were brought into our world today, it would 439 00:33:23,620 --> 00:33:29,600 sense that we would need the descendants of Aaron to once again operate the Ark. 440 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:36,500 To Parfit's astonishment, when members of the Lemba undergo DNA testing, they 441 00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:41,880 are found to have the genetic signature of the Kohenine, called the Kohen modal 442 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:42,880 haplotype. 443 00:33:44,940 --> 00:33:50,920 We were looking for the Coen modal haplotype among the Lemba, and we found 444 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:56,440 Lemba to be relatively rich in the Coen modal haplotype. 445 00:33:57,700 --> 00:34:04,600 Once it seemed that the priestly tribe of the Lemba was the same as the 446 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,520 priestly tribe of the Jews, then the question of the Ngum became very much 447 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,360 interesting to me. 448 00:34:12,710 --> 00:34:17,170 Parfit spent much of the next decade traveling across Africa and the Middle 449 00:34:17,170 --> 00:34:21,190 East, following every lead in search of the Ngomolungundu. 450 00:34:22,330 --> 00:34:29,130 In 2007, he was ready to give up the search, but decided to follow one last 451 00:34:29,130 --> 00:34:33,310 to a small museum in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe. 452 00:34:34,210 --> 00:34:40,050 He goes to the museum, and he goes into one of the storerooms, and it's almost 453 00:34:40,050 --> 00:34:41,050 straight out of a movie. 454 00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:46,440 I've looked around the various places where things might have been deposited, 455 00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:50,159 and to my considerable surprise, I found it. 456 00:34:51,460 --> 00:34:56,780 It's an old piece of wood, but he's amazed because one of the first things 457 00:34:56,780 --> 00:35:02,640 notices is the scorch marks. It's been burned exactly like the story that says, 458 00:35:02,740 --> 00:35:06,660 oh, at a particular point in history, there was a fire that came out of this 459 00:35:06,660 --> 00:35:10,660 that actually killed the people who were standing beside this. 460 00:35:11,340 --> 00:35:16,140 Critics complained that the crude wooden object did not resemble the biblical 461 00:35:16,140 --> 00:35:20,740 descriptions of the Ark. But Parfit points out that according to Lemba 462 00:35:20,740 --> 00:35:25,040 tradition, the original wooden box was destroyed in a fiery explosion. 463 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:30,400 And this smaller object was reconstructed from a piece of the 464 00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:37,460 One could imagine that there had been a succession of Arks which had been used, 465 00:35:37,620 --> 00:35:39,580 got worn out. 466 00:35:40,430 --> 00:35:47,130 and were rebuilt, and which finally led to the Ark, which today is to be 467 00:35:47,130 --> 00:35:50,990 found in a small museum in Harare. 468 00:35:52,170 --> 00:35:57,050 It's this amazing story, because here's Tudor Parfit, this great, respected 469 00:35:57,050 --> 00:36:01,730 academic, who has now announced that he has discovered the Ark of the Covenant. 470 00:36:01,870 --> 00:36:05,350 That makes international news, and there's great debate. 471 00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:12,680 If one is to think that... The Ark exists anywhere, why not in Africa? 472 00:36:12,940 --> 00:36:17,280 It makes a lot more sense than many other places where it has been imagined 473 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,660 be. The Lembo were very straightforward about their Ark. They said, at a certain 474 00:36:21,660 --> 00:36:23,980 point it was destroyed, we made another one. 475 00:36:25,180 --> 00:36:31,900 But what I do think is that this object is probably the closest 476 00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:38,060 thing that has ever been found to the original Ark of the Covenant. 477 00:36:39,540 --> 00:36:45,320 Is it possible that an ancient wooden object on display in a museum in 478 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,760 represents the last remnants of the Ark of the Covenant? 479 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:54,300 Some researchers believe the otherworldly technology that the 480 00:36:54,300 --> 00:36:56,960 vessel is alleged to have held still exists. 481 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:04,600 And it will soon be found, not in Africa, but back in its rightful home on 482 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:05,600 Temple Mount. 483 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,760 Mount Scopus, Israel. 484 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:20,720 Here, in northeastern Jerusalem, lie 9 ,000 tons of soil illegally excavated 485 00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:25,380 removed from Temple Mount in 1999 by the Islamic Religious Trust. 486 00:37:26,820 --> 00:37:30,420 Excavations are not permitted on the sacred space of Temple Mount. 487 00:37:30,820 --> 00:37:36,320 But because this soil has already been removed, both experts and volunteers 488 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,600 been able to sift through it. 489 00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:43,140 And incredibly, it has produced hundreds of thousands of ancient artifacts. 490 00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:48,440 Might clues pointing to the existence of the Ark of the Covenant, and perhaps 491 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,040 its location, be found in the soil from Temple Mount? 492 00:37:54,220 --> 00:38:00,760 In modern -day Israel, many have tried to go under Temple Mount, and it is well 493 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:05,440 known that there are secret catacombs and that there are passageways that have 494 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,940 been blocked off, which lead to many, many secrets. 495 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,960 To what is down there, who can say? 496 00:38:13,460 --> 00:38:19,840 The Temple Mount is a site where many people believe there are 497 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,700 things of great power, maybe still hidden. 498 00:38:24,540 --> 00:38:31,120 It's a site of immense significance to all three of the world's 499 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,140 main religions. 500 00:38:33,340 --> 00:38:36,620 The importance of Temple Mount is really interesting. 501 00:38:37,580 --> 00:38:44,560 For Jews, when Isaac is offered up for sacrifice by Abraham, this happens on 502 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:45,560 Temple Mount. 503 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,080 It then gets connected to the Christian tradition that comes later. 504 00:38:51,060 --> 00:38:55,260 For Muslims, this spot is important because this is where the prophet 505 00:38:55,260 --> 00:38:56,900 ascends up to heaven. 506 00:38:58,260 --> 00:39:02,480 There very much is this idea that there's a holiness in this spot. 507 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,860 Jews aren't even supposed to walk. 508 00:39:04,430 --> 00:39:09,450 on the area of the Temple Mount because the space is so powerful. The idea is 509 00:39:09,450 --> 00:39:11,570 that the presence of God is here. 510 00:39:12,770 --> 00:39:18,210 Interestingly, this is the actual site where in 2011 there were multiple 511 00:39:18,210 --> 00:39:22,130 of strange light seen above Jerusalem. 512 00:39:22,970 --> 00:39:29,010 If the event recorded on video over Temple Mount on January 28, 513 00:39:29,430 --> 00:39:35,510 2011 was in fact related to the Ark of the Covenant, As some ancient astronaut 514 00:39:35,510 --> 00:39:40,530 theorists suspect, could it be evidence that the Ark still resides there? 515 00:39:40,790 --> 00:39:44,990 Many people think it was fake, but we have too many witnesses and too many 516 00:39:44,990 --> 00:39:48,190 sources that can prove that this actually happened. 517 00:39:48,810 --> 00:39:55,410 It gives us to speculate that indeed the Ark was sending and 518 00:39:55,410 --> 00:40:02,250 receiving signals from some actual tangible place from which we will have 519 00:40:02,250 --> 00:40:04,420 contact. in time to come. 520 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:10,480 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, whether the Ark of the 521 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:16,260 Covenant lies beneath Temple Mount or is hidden thousands of miles away, one 522 00:40:16,260 --> 00:40:17,420 thing is certain. 523 00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:21,700 It remains the world's most important lost relic. 524 00:40:23,140 --> 00:40:27,620 I think it's very possible that the Ark of the Covenant does still exist. 525 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,220 And I feel that it's likely that at least some people actually know where it 526 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:40,600 The Ark of the Covenant is one of the greatest pieces in the ancient astronaut 527 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:47,540 theory because there was an actual physical object that had a connection 528 00:40:47,540 --> 00:40:50,240 to the so -called celestial realm. 529 00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:55,000 So, I mean, the Ark of the Covenant is one of the most enduring ancient 530 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,020 mysteries of all time. 531 00:40:58,540 --> 00:41:04,100 The Ark holds the promise that it will bring a new revelation with it. It could 532 00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,540 completely transform our civilization. 533 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,200 This is the potential power with the Ark of the Covenant. 534 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:17,600 The Ark might actually be the proof that we have been seeking throughout human 535 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:24,220 history of our forgotten past and our greater potential of 536 00:41:24,220 --> 00:41:26,980 contact with the greater universe and world. 537 00:41:27,950 --> 00:41:34,590 Indeed, if we could have the Ark and operate it and make contact, 538 00:41:34,970 --> 00:41:39,250 who would we be talking to? What would we be opening up? 539 00:41:40,690 --> 00:41:45,630 Could an otherworldly device of unfathomable power that our ancestors 540 00:41:45,630 --> 00:41:51,170 encountered thousands of years ago still exist somewhere on Earth today? 541 00:41:52,990 --> 00:41:54,870 Perhaps the Ark of the Covenant. 542 00:41:55,210 --> 00:41:58,050 will soon be revealed to humanity once again. 543 00:41:58,530 --> 00:42:04,450 And within this sacred box, we will find the undeniable proof of our celestial 544 00:42:04,450 --> 00:42:05,450 origins. 50156
