I thought it was being looked at by "top men"

Some problems with the underlying assumptions here.

(1) The story about the prophet Jeremiah is just that, a story. It seems unlikely that Jeremiah would be able to secrete the ark anywhere since he was under arrest in the royal palace until the Babylonians overran Jerusalem.

(2) According to Jewish tradition the Temple Mount is Mount Moriah, not Calvary. A bare assertion that Mount Moriah and Calvary are one and the same is leaping to an unwarranted conclusion.

These guys are not serious researchers.

... spending two weeks beneath Mount Moriah outside the walls of ancient Jerusalem. ...

Mount Moriah is now known as the Temple Mount, the location anciently of Solomon's Temple and now of the Dome of the Rock. It very definitely is inside the ancient walls of Jerusalem.

This sort of elementary geography mistake is not a good omen.

They're too late. I already found the Ark - it'e on ebay.

[Buck W.]

"The group is trying to verify the claim made by relic hunter Ron Wyatt who said he actually saw the Ark there two decades ago after tunneling through a small passageway. "

Why didn't he retrieve it? Did he take a picture, at least?

They should have called on someone with experience ;-)

Something has intrigued me for quite a while, with regards to the search for the ark:

There is a researcher (Michael Sanders) who believes that the ark was taken by Shishak king of Egypt, who, according to 2 Chron 12:9, "took all". He believes it was stashed in a town south of Jerusalem now called Djaharya.

Not realized by the author, or at least not mentioned on his site, is a word play that relates to the Biblical name of that village: Debir, meaning oracle or sanctuary... IOW, the holy of holies.

So I have been left to wonder if the ark of the covenant is where it has always been - in a manner of speaking - that is, in the sanctuary (Debir). Seems like a concept which would invoke the Homeresque response of "D'oh".

It's in Ethiopia ...

Ethiopia......

I thought everybody knew - it's in Ethiopia

Hey, already posted here: Real-life raiders hunt Ark of the Covenant

[yarddog]

If I saw that, I would not get within 100 yards of it.

So, Wyatt lost not one Ark but two? Why is it these guys always forget where they found the treasure? Well, at least we can eliminate it being in Al Capone's vault.
