An ancient legend which holds that the Temple menorah is hidden away in the depths of the Vatican is coming to light again with the announcement of an upcoming exhibit jointly hosted by the Papal seat and Rome’s ancient Jewish community. Intended to showcase the growing Jewish-Vatican relationship, the theme of the exhibit actually brings this sore subject to the forefront, raising suspicions that despite a long tradition of Vatican protests, the rumors persist for good reason.
Arnold Nesselrath, a Vatican Museums official, announced the theme of the upcoming exhibit on Monday, noting that the connection between the Vatican and the menorah is graphically illustrated in an image frescoed on a wall of the Vatican’s Borgia Apartment. The apartment was built for Pope Alessandro VI, whose papacy began in 1492, the same year Spanish Jews were given the choice of forced conversion to Catholicism or expulsion.

Based on the crashing of the idols on the set of Oscars, it appears that the Arc of the Covenant is somewhere in LA. ;-)
Everyone knows it is buried on Oak Island.
LOL!
Maybe even below the haunted Roosevelt Hotel in Hollyweird?
By the Arch Of Titus, it was evidently in Rome at least once.
We used to live near the GSA warehouse where I suspected that the Ark is stored.
Well, given the fact that the Roman Army destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple, and given the fact that the Roman Empire became the Roman Catholic Church, and given (probably) that the Temple treasures could still be in the possession of the Roman government/church, yeah, I can believe that.
It may have been taken to Carthage in 455 when the Vandals sacked Rome, and then taken to Constantinople when Justinian’s forces conquered the Vandal kingdom. Then the Crusaders captured Constantinople in 1204, so it could be somewhere in France.
Maybe it’s around Flamingo Road where Titus Semple hung out?
But Christians were considered Jews until about 300 AD. At least in the eyes of official Rome.

All the Vatican needs to do is open their archives to the supreme rabbi.
This is ridiculous. We all know that if it’s not on The History Channel it’s not true.
At least, as I have read the New Testament, that’s what was supposed to happen. We became Jews through adoption, but the pagan mindset of the Greeks threatened to tear apart Christianity, so Paul relented to keep the peace.
Just to be clear, I agree the sacrificial system ended at the cross, but I’m talking about most other things about Judaism.
Must not be as powerful as the Lost Ark, or the Nazis would’ve used it to win WW2.
Isn’t Thomas Horn the guy that says the Vatican has secret alien masters or something?
Freegards
From the link:
And still, the rumors persist. In 2013, just before the newly-elected Pope Francis came to Israel for his first official visit, Rabbi Yonatan Shtencel, a resident of Jerusalem, made a sensation in the media when he wrote a letter to the Vatican requesting that the Pope take the opportunity to return the golden menorah stolen from the Temple. Shtencel turned to the new Pope as a leader with a “willingness to listen to other nations”.
“It is time for the holy vessels, stolen at the time of these difficult historical events and taken to Rome as spoils of war and remaining to this day in the hands of the Vatican authorities and under your control, to change status,” Rabbi Shtencel wrote. He stated that by doing so, the many years the Vatican had possessed the vessels would change from theft to a “trusteeship” for the Jewish People.
Archbishop Guiseppe Lazzaratto responded, saying the Vatican had given the matter “serious attention”. Though he did not admit the Temple vessels were in the Vatican, neither did he deny it. He reaffirmed the growing affinity between the Church and the Jews, noting that withholding the vessels would go against that trend.
“If you can provide me with any evidence that the sacred vessels are indeed kept in the archives or somewhere else in the Vatican, I will be very pleased to forward your request to the Prefect of the same archives and to Pope Francis himself,” he replied.
That’s why I watch “The Curse of Oak Island” every Tuesday or Thursday on channel 10!!!
LOLOL....
I’m not sure - they both came out with some book called Petrus Romanus in 2012 about that being the year of all sorts of stuff happening. To their credit they did actually predict that Pope Benedict would be replaced very soon after the writing of their book.
There is a chapter on aliens in there - don’t remember much about the context of it to be honest. I skimmed that chapter.
