Archaeologists to break ground at biblical site where Ark of the Covenant stood
Times of Israel ^ | February 8, 2017 | ILAN BEN ZION

Israeli and French researchers to excavate ancient site of Kiryat Ye’arim, outside Jerusalem, one of the few unstudied biblical tels

One of the few remaining unstudied major biblical sites, where according to the Bible the Ark of the Covenant was kept for two decades, will be excavated by archaeologists this summer for the first time.

Organizers hope the anticipated study of Kiryat Ye’arim (also transliterated as Kiriath Jearim) will shed light on the site’s significance during the Iron Age, the period associated with the biblical account of King David.

Kiryat Ye’arim is mentioned over a dozen times in the Bible as a Judahite town situated near Jerusalem during the period of the judges and King David — the Iron Age, in archaeological terms.

That’s very interesting. I’d like to find out more about that. If it was indeed kept and stored, then that would lend more credibility to the Maccabees account of Jeremiah taking the Ark and hiding it.

This story is absurd.

The Ark was located b y Ron Wyatt more than a decade ago.

This is theater.

I’ve seen plenty of men with big bellies and man-boobs.

Go to any New Jersey beach.

All of the imagery left behind by Akhenaten’s theocratic cult emphasizes his/her/its feminine features.

I know where it is...I’m just not sure *which* exact warehouse.

Tony Hillerman took the location to the grave with him...

How many of them changed their name midstream in the context of a theocratic / cultural revolution?

Went to see it at the movies when it came out. It is a great documentary. Big fan of David Rohls.

It belongs exactly where it is, right below the spot where Yeshua was crucified.

His blood along with the water released by the Roman centurian’s sword flowed down through a crevice onto the Mercy Seat of the Ark below.

This is the subject of 1John ch 5:7-8
