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.

I would like to point out that they do not expect to find the Ark, nor are they even looking for it. They know it was kept there for several years, then moved.

They are only trying to find the environment that surrounded it.

That documentary was fascinating. It will probably take the death of a generation of Egyptologists and published “experts” before the chronology is corrected, but that’s the way academia works. And don’t get me started on the actual age of the Sphynx.

The Ark was the first capacitor built by human kind (acacia wood with gold leaf). Lugging it through the desert allowed it to accumulate charge. Only the Levites knew not to approach it without a ground strap. Anyone else attempting approach without protection, like Uzzah, got their socks blown off.

Yep.

Meanwhile the chronology opens up questions for folks whose free minds are unencumbered by the dominion of  fallible and uninspired "experts"...

To add in a wiki summary:

It is mentioned as the place the Ark of the Covenant may have been moved after being in Beth Shemesh (1 Samuel 6:21-7:2). About 60 years (2 Sam 6) afterward, the ark was moved to Jerusalem and placed in a tent outside the palace of David.

As far as the location of the Ark, I've always had a soft spot for a dumb pun angle.

That is, that it would be located in Debir (aka Kirjath-sepher or Kirjath-sannah), because debir is

"the holy of holies, the innermost room of the temple or tabernacle"

So yeah, where *else* would it be? ;-)

Few people understand the fallout from Abraham & Sarah’s disobedience. Not only did it create a race of wildmen that would seek to plunder, kill, and destroy. It would also eventually lead to a religion that did so on a more vast scale.

It’s spelled “Paleostinians”, Friend!

Notice anything missing from ~his~ anatomy?

Consider the context of Akhenaten's religious revolution - and the genocidal murder of male infants:  Was that an attempt at Royal fem-social engineering?

Thanks for the link. Just ordered the DVD!

Asps ... very dangerous. You go first.

Welcome. It’s also on Netflix. That’s where I saw it.

I haven't read the article, but there is a theory it is located underneath the crucifixion site. The blood of Christ, his body having been pierced, flowed through a crack in the earth, caused by the earthquake, anointing the Ark seat.

Then there is the Holy Grail that could have more easily been used for just such a purpose.
