Coherent enough ?edit on 24-3-2011 by gandalphthegrey because: (no reason given)edit on 24-3-2011 by gandalphthegrey because: (no reason given)
If you take two highly conductive plates and separate them by a dielectric material, what do you get?
The answer is a capacitor. Using the instructions in the Bible, one could build the ark of the covenant to specs and it WOULD function as a very powerful capacitor.
All things mentioned on what the ark did, and how it was handled elude to a powerful capacitor.
Mythical or not, it would function as such.
Now place this object in a pyramid crowned with a gold cap (lightning rod) and you would be able to charge the capacitor to a vary high voltage.
Oh never mind, this is all just myth...

..Have them make a chest of acacia wood - two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. Overlay it with pure gold, both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it. Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. Then make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. Insert the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest to carry it. The poles are to remain in the rings of the ark; they are not to be removed.
Make an atonement cover of pure gold - two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. Make one cherub on one and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends. The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover.

"Secret Societies: NOTICE:
This forum is for the discussion and speculation of conspiracy theories, scandals, secrets, cover-ups and related historical events involving secret societies and related groups. PARTICIPANTS MUST BE AWARE THIS FORUM IS UNDER RENEWED, VERY-CLOSE STAFF SCRUTINY. Discussion topics and follow-up responses in this forum will likely tend to lean in favor of conspiracies, scandals, and cover-ups. Members who would seek to refute such theories should be mindful of AboveTopSecret.com's tradition of focusing on conspiracy theory, cover-ups, and scandals."
Sounds a bit cryptic. Why such heavy scrutiny for this particular subject?

Have you ever built your own Ark , based on these specs ? What results did you achieve ?
Well ?

True, your point is well taken... but history is also filled with liars and those who propagate the lies as well.
Truth is, there is no way to know for sure... but I don't think Moses stole the Ark of the Covenant or that it was housed in the Great Pyramid of Giza prior to being stolen or moved.
In this case, I think Occam's Razor prevails - the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.

Actually Moses did not steal the Ark for a single reason. God special ordered it. A used, generic mobile home was unacceptable. We are talking about the Creator, you must bear this concept foremost your mind. He is telling you that he us a jealous God on the very stones that are to be placed in this box. He will not tolerate any god going before Him. That in itself negates the stolen (desecrated) box.
The designation of being an Ark should generated the idea that it is a vessel for living entities that had a need for such a craft during perilous times. Noah and the Flood being called to mind.

I am sure you have heard of the riddle of the Sphinx?
In Greek mythology, the Sphinx sat outside of Thebes and asked this riddle of all travelers who passed by. If the traveler failed to solve the riddle, then the Sphinx killed him/her. And if the traveler answered the riddle correctly, then the Sphinx would destroy herself. The riddle:
What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?
Oedipus solved the riddle, and the Sphinx destroyed herself.
The solution: A MAN, who crawls on all fours as a baby, walks on two legs as an adult, and walks with a cane in old age.
Sounds like fabrication to me. I don't think the Sphinx itself can ask any question. The Pyramid of Giza is the only one with the upper chambers. It's one of a kind. I also don't think it's a riddle; but a question and is connected to a person's soul growth.
In Zachariah Sitchen's "The War of Gods and Men" there is a description of the Great Pyramid planned by Ra, built by Geb, equipped by Thoth.
"In the smooth and seemingly solid north face of the pyramid, a swivel stone swung open to reveal the entranceway, protected by the massive diagonal stone blocks, just as the text lauding Ninharsag had described. A straight Descending Passage led to the lower service chambers where Ninurta could see a shaft dug by the defenders in search for subterranean water. But his interest focused on the upper passages and chambers; there, the magical "stones' were arrayed-minerals and crystals, some earthly, some heavenly, some the likes of which he had never seen. From them there were emitted the beamed pulsations for the guidance of the astronauts and radiations for the defense of the structure." [From the inscribed texts on tablets of the epic poem Lugal-e.] Ninurta had it all destroyed after Enki holed up in the great pyramid. There were 27 pairs of evenly-spaced crystal stones along the whole length of each side of the gallery. These glowing stones were placed in cavaties that were precisely cut into the ramps that ran the length of the gallery on both sides of it's floor. Each crystal stone emitted a radiance, giving the place it's rainbow effect.
All this Ninurta announced, he was doing not only for his sake, but for future generations too; "Let the fear of thee"-the Great Pyramid-"be removed from my descendants; let their peace be ordained." This was after the second pyramid war. There is a cylinder seal, showing Ninurta's Divine Bird within a victory wreath, soaring in triumph above the two great pyramids. And the Great Pyramid itself, bare and void and without its apex stone, has been left standing as a mute witness to the defeat of it's defenders.
