Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,060
It is the most highly coveted lost relic
in the world.
2
00:00:05,340 --> 00:00:09,100
The Ark of the Covenant is without
question the most significant and
3
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:10,300
artifact in human history.
4
00:00:10,580 --> 00:00:13,360
It was a weapon of extraordinary power.
5
00:00:13,900 --> 00:00:17,920
It was said to smite the enemies of
Israel.
6
00:00:18,140 --> 00:00:20,380
It was said to bring about disease.
7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,080
It was said to bring down the walls of
Jericho.
8
00:00:26,180 --> 00:00:30,500
And it provided direct communication
with the heavens.
9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:36,080
It was the only physical manifestation
of God on Earth.
10
00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:39,440
But what happened to the Ark of the
Covenant?
11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,080
There's all sorts of stories. Is it
buried somewhere?
12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,600
Was it looted? Was it stolen?
13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,620
There are those who believe that if the
Ark is ever found, it will provide
14
00:00:50,620 --> 00:00:57,420
undeniable proof of extraterrestrial
visitation. The Ark of the Covenant is
15
00:00:57,420 --> 00:00:59,680
ultimate alien artifact.
16
00:01:03,210 --> 00:01:06,110
There is a doorway in the universe.
17
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:10,610
Beyond it is the promise of truth.
18
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:16,390
It demands we question everything we
have ever been taught.
19
00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:19,990
The evidence is all around us.
20
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:24,110
The future is right before our eyes.
21
00:01:24,470 --> 00:01:26,870
We are not alone.
22
00:01:27,210 --> 00:01:30,070
We have never been alone.
23
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:44,260
Jerusalem, January 28, 2011.
24
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:51,720
It is a quiet winter night inside the Al
-Aqsa Mosque compound, which sits on
25
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:57,160
the Temple Mount, a site considered
hallowed ground by Muslims, Christians,
26
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,160
Jews.
27
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,000
But at roughly 1 a .m., in the sky above
the Dome of the Rock, an extraordinary
28
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,540
scene unfolds that is captured on video.
29
00:02:08,490 --> 00:02:13,290
This pulsating light, which was
witnessed from multiple different
30
00:02:13,630 --> 00:02:15,390
descends down.
31
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:21,190
Right on top of the Temple Mount.
32
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:24,250
And all of a sudden, a flash.
33
00:02:25,710 --> 00:02:28,250
And then it disappears up into heaven.
34
00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:33,830
If this is genuine, it's of extreme
significance.
35
00:02:34,050 --> 00:02:37,270
It's a sight of immense significance.
36
00:02:38,330 --> 00:02:41,770
to all three of the world's main
religions.
37
00:02:42,190 --> 00:02:46,550
They have all, for thousands of years,
worshipped there.
38
00:02:46,870 --> 00:02:53,390
It is a site where they believe there
are things of great power, maybe still
39
00:02:53,390 --> 00:02:54,390
hidden.
40
00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:57,450
What happened? What was that?
41
00:02:58,010 --> 00:03:02,290
There are those who interpret and
understand this to have been something
42
00:03:02,290 --> 00:03:05,970
technological, possibly turning on.
43
00:03:07,850 --> 00:03:09,950
activating something buried beneath.
44
00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:16,810
There are many who believe that this
pulsating light was connecting with the
45
00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:17,810
of the Covenant.
46
00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:21,070
The Ark of the Covenant?
47
00:03:21,510 --> 00:03:24,850
The golden chest built to house the Ten
Commandments?
48
00:03:25,970 --> 00:03:31,350
Could this incredible UFO event have
been connected to one of the most
49
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:36,990
and most mysterious religious artifacts
of all time? Is it possible?
50
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,080
that the Ark of the Covenant is still
with us to this day.
51
00:03:42,540 --> 00:03:43,540
It's possible.
52
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,060
We don't know.
53
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,340
According to the stories of the Hebrew
Bible, the Ark of the Covenant did at
54
00:03:51,340 --> 00:03:53,520
time reside in this very spot.
55
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,880
And there are those who believe it is
still hidden somewhere on the site.
56
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:04,020
But this holy relic went missing more
than 2 ,500 years ago, and people have
57
00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:05,720
been searching for it ever since.
58
00:04:07,390 --> 00:04:11,230
considered the most sacred and
mysterious artifact in ancient Israel.
59
00:04:11,450 --> 00:04:16,510
The Ark of the Covenant was revered by
the Hebrew people as the embodiment of
60
00:04:16,510 --> 00:04:17,950
God's presence on earth.
61
00:04:18,850 --> 00:04:24,510
What was so special about the Ark was
that it housed the history of the
62
00:04:24,510 --> 00:04:25,970
Israelites once they left Egypt.
63
00:04:26,770 --> 00:04:33,370
It reminded a people who had been slaves
in Egypt for millennia that they were
64
00:04:33,370 --> 00:04:34,370
not alone.
65
00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:36,930
that this God was constantly with them.
66
00:04:37,650 --> 00:04:41,770
The story of the Ark begins in the 15th
century B .C.
67
00:04:43,330 --> 00:04:48,170
According to the Bible's book of Exodus,
after the Israelites were released from
68
00:04:48,170 --> 00:04:53,390
Egypt, God summoned Moses to the peak of
Mount Sinai and gave him two stone
69
00:04:53,390 --> 00:04:56,270
tablets carved with the Ten
Commandments.
70
00:04:57,150 --> 00:05:01,890
He also gave him specific instructions
for building the Ark of the Covenant.
71
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:06,430
Moses was given very specific
measurements. It was to be two and a
72
00:05:06,430 --> 00:05:09,590
long, one and a half cubits wide, one
and a half cubits deep.
73
00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:13,550
So we're looking at a container that was
a little over four feet long and about
74
00:05:13,550 --> 00:05:17,490
two feet wide and two feet deep. The
container must be made of acacia wood,
75
00:05:17,490 --> 00:05:18,730
it must be covered with gold.
76
00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:26,110
The top of the ark was to be surmounted
by angels, two cherubim with large
77
00:05:26,110 --> 00:05:30,350
wings that would face each other, and
their wings would cover the top of the
78
00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:31,350
ark.
79
00:05:32,780 --> 00:05:38,700
The Ark was designed to be carried by
poles, inserted into four gold rings,
80
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:40,240
on each side of the container.
81
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,220
It was very important that no one touch
the Ark. It was too powerful, too holy,
82
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,500
and a person would die if they touched
it.
83
00:05:48,780 --> 00:05:53,720
It was also covered in a very elaborate
way so that passers -by wouldn't look at
84
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,440
it. Such was the power of the Ark of the
Covenant that it would be dangerous
85
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,540
even to look at it.
86
00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:04,860
The lid of the ark was called the mercy
seat, and there were said to be two
87
00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:09,880
cherubims on top, with their wings
pointing to each other, with a gap
88
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,160
them. This is actually the gap where
Yahweh, or God, was supposed to have
89
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,160
spoken.
90
00:06:15,820 --> 00:06:22,600
In Exodus 25, 22, God tells Moses, when
you build this, I will meet
91
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,720
you between the cherubim, and I will
give you command.
92
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,380
Ancient accounts of the Ark portray it
as possessing mysterious powers that
93
00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:37,460
aided the Israelites during their
journey to the Promised Land.
94
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,420
Parting rivers, leveling mountains, and
destroying armies.
95
00:06:44,980 --> 00:06:48,600
But it was also incredibly dangerous to
handle.
96
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,720
Whatever the Ark of the Covenant was,
the object was definitely very, very
97
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,840
dangerous. In the second day...
98
00:06:56,170 --> 00:07:00,270
book of the king, you can read that
several accidents happened.
99
00:07:01,350 --> 00:07:07,570
A priest with the name of Uzzah touched
the ark and like an electrical shock, he
100
00:07:07,570 --> 00:07:09,350
just fell on the ground and he was dead.
101
00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:16,090
In the Bible, we have multiple stories
of people not only dying when they came
102
00:07:16,090 --> 00:07:21,910
in contact with the ark, but some didn't
die, but only died a week or two later.
103
00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:28,370
How did they die? Because they had boils
on their skin and their hair started to
104
00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:34,310
fall out. Well, that is a sign of
radioactive poisoning or radioactive
105
00:07:35,150 --> 00:07:41,090
The most important thing about trying to
understand how the Ark of the Covenant
106
00:07:41,090 --> 00:07:47,610
functions is the fact that specific
instructions were given by God to Moses
107
00:07:47,610 --> 00:07:50,990
about how it was to be manufactured.
108
00:07:52,030 --> 00:07:57,090
the exact size, how it's to be raised
off the ground, how it's to be carried.
109
00:07:57,350 --> 00:08:02,950
So there were specifics here that had to
be carried out. And this tells us
110
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:08,330
almost certainly that we are dealing
with technology, a technology that was
111
00:08:08,330 --> 00:08:15,330
given either by God or by some kind of
entity or being of
112
00:08:15,330 --> 00:08:17,190
non -terrestrial origin.
113
00:08:18,550 --> 00:08:19,650
Is it possible?
114
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,800
As ancient astronaut theorists suggest,
that the baffling powers ascribed to the
115
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,340
Ark provide evidence that it contained
highly advanced and perhaps
116
00:08:29,340 --> 00:08:31,360
extraterrestrial technology.
117
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:39,120
In 957 BC, construction was completed on
King Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem,
118
00:08:39,539 --> 00:08:44,800
built on the same site where the Dome of
the Rock stands today, and designed
119
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,320
with the primary purpose of housing the
Ark of the Covenant.
120
00:08:49,020 --> 00:08:54,320
The Ark would remain here for 350 years
and then disappear from the historical
121
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,360
record forever.
122
00:08:56,580 --> 00:09:03,360
In 586 BC, the Babylonians, under King
Nebuchadnezzar,
123
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,920
sacked and destroyed Jerusalem and the
Temple of Solomon.
124
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,520
It was said that they carried away to
Babylon all of the treasures of the
125
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,500
Israelites, the treasures of the Temple.
126
00:09:17,050 --> 00:09:22,590
However, there is no mention in any
account that they took away the Ark of
127
00:09:22,590 --> 00:09:26,090
Covenant. So what happened to the Ark of
the Covenant?
128
00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:33,470
The first theory is that Jeremiah or
King Josiah took the Ark and hid it away
129
00:09:33,470 --> 00:09:34,149
a cave.
130
00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:39,010
There's another piece of speculation is
that the Babylonians just took it and
131
00:09:39,010 --> 00:09:43,370
they desecrated it. But if they had done
that, people would have known about it.
132
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:48,820
The voice of God was heard through the
Ark. And for those people that believe
133
00:09:48,820 --> 00:09:54,100
the voice of God was extraterrestrial,
well, the Ark of the Covenant is the
134
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:55,920
ultimate alien artifact.
135
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,540
Ancient astronaut theorists believe that
finding the Ark will result in
136
00:10:02,540 --> 00:10:06,380
incredible revelations about humanity's
extraterrestrial past.
137
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,740
and could also facilitate direct
communication with otherworldly entities
138
00:10:12,740 --> 00:10:14,200
watching over Earth today.
139
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,660
But does the Ark still lie hidden at
Temple Mount?
140
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,960
Many claim the most compelling evidence
points to the Ark leaving Jerusalem
141
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,780
centuries ago, spirited away by a band
of warrior monks.
142
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,650
July. 1099 A .D.
143
00:10:39,510 --> 00:10:43,950
Muslim -controlled Jerusalem is captured
by medieval Christian forces.
144
00:10:44,430 --> 00:10:49,190
The bloody siege leaves the city
ransacked by the victorious crusaders.
145
00:10:51,010 --> 00:10:56,110
But spared from destruction are two
mosques that have stood on Temple Mount
146
00:10:56,110 --> 00:10:57,230
400 years.
147
00:10:57,930 --> 00:11:01,930
These holy sites were saved to serve
another purpose.
148
00:11:02,530 --> 00:11:06,250
The Dome of the Rock is converted into a
Catholic church.
149
00:11:07,820 --> 00:11:13,320
and the Al -Aqsa Mosque is given to a
newly formed monastic fighting force,
150
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,720
Order of Solomon's Temple, also known as
the Knights Templar.
151
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,500
This was a holy order of knights who
were interested in the safety of
152
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:31,060
going from Europe to Jerusalem to the
temple. And they would guard them, and
153
00:11:31,060 --> 00:11:32,300
they would protect their wealth.
154
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,880
They essentially invented banking as a
way to protect travelers from high
155
00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:43,500
But protecting pilgrims was not the
Templars' only directive while stationed
156
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:44,500
Temple Mount.
157
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,260
They were also charged with searching
for treasure and religious artifacts.
158
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:56,220
The Knights Templars got a commission
from the Pope to actually do excavations
159
00:11:56,220 --> 00:11:57,220
at Solomon's Temple.
160
00:11:57,540 --> 00:12:02,220
And the Templars, that is largely what
they did while they were... In
161
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:08,240
the story there goes that the Templars
actually discovered a secret chamber
162
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,220
beneath the temple.
163
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:17,260
They claim to have found all sorts of
holy relics. And we know they found
164
00:12:17,260 --> 00:12:23,420
certain things because they became very
rich very quickly. But legend said that
165
00:12:23,420 --> 00:12:28,580
amongst all these things they found was
the Ark of the Covenant.
166
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:38,650
On July 4, 1187, the Knights Templar
were forced to leave Jerusalem when
167
00:12:38,650 --> 00:12:40,470
armies retook the Holy City.
168
00:12:43,250 --> 00:12:48,170
The Templars set sail for Europe, and it
was rumored that they carried with them
169
00:12:48,170 --> 00:12:53,790
the holy relics they had recovered at
Temple Mount, including the Ark of the
170
00:12:53,790 --> 00:12:54,790
Covenant.
171
00:12:55,010 --> 00:13:00,050
By the end of the 13th century, the
Knights Templar had established a new
172
00:13:00,050 --> 00:13:01,650
of operations in France.
173
00:13:02,170 --> 00:13:08,630
I do believe that the Templars did find
the Ark and successfully transported it
174
00:13:08,630 --> 00:13:15,170
to Paris, where they were hailed as
heroes. For some reason, overnight,
175
00:13:15,170 --> 00:13:19,450
were trying to join the orders, and the
King of France was promoting them. I
176
00:13:19,450 --> 00:13:23,390
believe the reason for that is because
they succeeded in their mission to find
177
00:13:23,390 --> 00:13:26,010
the Ark, which is why they were there in
the first place.
178
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,700
The Templars used their vast wealth to
finance the construction of Chartres
179
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:36,700
Cathedral, one of the finest examples of
Gothic -style architecture in the
180
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:37,700
world.
181
00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:43,120
And it was rumored that the cathedral
had a direct connection to the Ark of
182
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,120
Covenant.
183
00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:51,600
In 1966, in a book called The Mysteries
of Chartres Cathedral, Louis
184
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:58,010
Charpentier... claimed that the Templars
had indeed found this holy object and
185
00:13:58,010 --> 00:14:04,530
had brought it back to France and that
this had someway inspired the design
186
00:14:04,530 --> 00:14:11,330
of Chartres Cathedral which embodied
many principles of sacred geometry
187
00:14:11,330 --> 00:14:18,110
mathematical ideas that had been brought
over from the Sufi and Islamic
188
00:14:18,110 --> 00:14:19,790
peoples of the Holy Land
189
00:14:20,970 --> 00:14:27,810
Sufism included a lot of ideas relating
to sacred architecture. This was
190
00:14:27,810 --> 00:14:31,630
how to design the perfect house of God.
191
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:36,770
Some believe that the Knights Templar
actually built this breathtaking
192
00:14:36,770 --> 00:14:38,810
to house the Ark of the Covenant.
193
00:14:39,230 --> 00:14:44,350
And they point to one very credible
source that claims the Ark was deposited
194
00:14:44,350 --> 00:14:46,750
here, the cathedral itself.
195
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,920
Carvings on the North Portico depict the
Templars recovering the Ark of the
196
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:58,520
Covenant, then carrying it off, led by
an angel, with God hidden overhead in a
197
00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,520
cloud.
198
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:04,740
Inscribed in Latin text are the words,
Here is hidden the Ark of the Covenant.
199
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,120
There are many legends in France about
where the Ark was kept during the time
200
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,980
period the Templars were the guardians.
201
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,560
Some say it was in the crypt of Chartres
Cathedral.
202
00:15:14,140 --> 00:15:18,380
It's likely that the Ark of the Covenant
was moved around to different locations
203
00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:22,100
in France to protect it and to keep it
from being discovered.
204
00:15:22,780 --> 00:15:27,120
All who have attempted to find the Ark
of the Covenant at Chartres Cathedral
205
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,340
have come up empty -handed.
206
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:35,340
But if the Templars truly were in
possession of the Ark, there is good
207
00:15:35,340 --> 00:15:40,480
believe they would have moved it at
least once more to keep its otherworldly
208
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,020
powers from the hands of a dangerous
enemy.
209
00:15:43,530 --> 00:15:45,910
the king of France, Philip IV.
210
00:15:46,630 --> 00:15:51,910
The Templars were incredibly rich, and
King Philip was engaged in a series of
211
00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:54,130
wars that were depleting his coffers.
212
00:15:54,330 --> 00:15:57,990
He tried to become their grandmaster,
and they said no.
213
00:15:58,190 --> 00:15:59,590
They refused him.
214
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:03,170
So he decided to take what they had by
force instead.
215
00:16:04,110 --> 00:16:06,070
But they did know he was coming.
216
00:16:06,490 --> 00:16:09,490
It was obviously time to get the Ark out
of Paris.
217
00:16:10,730 --> 00:16:17,700
On Friday, October 13th, 1307, King
Philip of France, with the backing of
218
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:22,240
Pope Clement V, ordered the arrest of
every Templar in France.
219
00:16:25,060 --> 00:16:31,060
King Philip accused the Templars of
heresy, immorality, and worship of a
220
00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:32,060
idol.
221
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:37,820
But ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that based on accounts of the idol, this
222
00:16:37,820 --> 00:16:39,460
may be a case of misunderstood.
223
00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:46,410
There were rumors that the Templars were
in possession of this horrible -looking
224
00:16:46,410 --> 00:16:53,090
idol with one glowing red eye and
another eye that's barely blinking. Of
225
00:16:53,150 --> 00:16:59,950
a technologically primitive person would
not recognize that that is a
226
00:16:59,950 --> 00:17:00,950
type of a machine.
227
00:17:01,190 --> 00:17:04,010
But I think this was an extraterrestrial
device.
228
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,579
It was said that they spoke to this
demon, that this demon would speak back
229
00:17:09,579 --> 00:17:10,619
them and give them instructions.
230
00:17:10,980 --> 00:17:16,500
We know from scripture, we know from the
Bible itself, that the Ark was built as
231
00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:17,540
a communication device.
232
00:17:19,140 --> 00:17:24,839
For some researchers, the description of
a demonic idol with glowing red eyes
233
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:27,560
that gave instructions to the Knights
Templar.
234
00:17:27,770 --> 00:17:32,310
brings to mind the biblical accounts of
how the Israelite priests communicated
235
00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:34,670
with God through the Ark of the
Covenant.
236
00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:41,150
The high priest was required by biblical
law to wear a special type of a
237
00:17:41,150 --> 00:17:46,250
breastplate, which had special types of
gemstones on it. The high priest could
238
00:17:46,250 --> 00:17:50,910
oscillate his voice to create specific
types of sounds.
239
00:17:51,470 --> 00:17:55,530
It would cause these stones to come
alive.
240
00:17:58,130 --> 00:18:03,350
the stones on the breastplate would
light up. They would begin to emit
241
00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:04,350
colors.
242
00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:09,950
You have light flashing off of this high
priest as he's firing up the Ark of the
243
00:18:09,950 --> 00:18:14,270
Covenant. And then the Ark had rainbow
light coming off of it.
244
00:18:16,450 --> 00:18:22,090
To this day, many researchers believe
that the idol the Templars were accused
245
00:18:22,090 --> 00:18:24,250
worshipping was the Ark of the Covenant.
246
00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:26,130
But if so...
247
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,680
What became of it?
248
00:18:28,420 --> 00:18:34,940
Some suggest the world's most sacred
religious relic ultimately ended up
249
00:18:34,940 --> 00:18:38,680
hidden in a mysterious chapel in
Scotland.
250
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,440
Paris, France.
251
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:47,700
March 18, 1314.
252
00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:53,800
Jean de Molay, the 23rd and final Grand
Master of the Knights Templar.
253
00:18:54,270 --> 00:18:57,150
is executed by order of King Philip IV.
254
00:18:58,370 --> 00:19:03,510
But according to historical accounts, he
already had a plan in place for the
255
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:06,930
surviving Templars to make their escape
in the event of his capture.
256
00:19:08,190 --> 00:19:13,050
Jacques de Molay had an enormous
responsibility to protect the legacy of
257
00:19:13,050 --> 00:19:15,330
Templars were and what they stood for.
258
00:19:15,570 --> 00:19:21,150
And part of this legacy was their
guardianship of these holy relics, and
259
00:19:21,150 --> 00:19:23,010
specifically the Ark of the Covenant.
260
00:19:24,250 --> 00:19:29,450
King Philip set out to capture a fleet
of 18 Templar ships that were said to be
261
00:19:29,450 --> 00:19:32,990
docked at the port of La Rochelle on the
Atlantic coast of France.
262
00:19:33,570 --> 00:19:38,030
But when the king's forces arrived,
there was not a ship in sight.
263
00:19:39,110 --> 00:19:44,970
The Knights Templar disappeared, as well
as many of the holy relics that they
264
00:19:44,970 --> 00:19:47,890
unquestionably held in their possession.
265
00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:53,780
Vatican records suggest... The fleet of
ships carried the escaping Templars and
266
00:19:53,780 --> 00:19:58,080
their mysterious treasure to Scotland,
where they were welcomed by King Robert
267
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,080
the Bruce.
268
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:04,040
Like the Knights Templar, Robert the
Bruce had been excommunicated by the
269
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,620
He was also embroiled in a bitter war of
independence against Edward II of
270
00:20:09,620 --> 00:20:14,760
England. And according to the story, the
Templars joined his forces on the
271
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:15,760
battlefield.
272
00:20:17,020 --> 00:20:20,220
There's a wonderful legend of knights.
273
00:20:20,670 --> 00:20:25,790
in white at the Battle of Donnockburn,
defeating, decimating the English army.
274
00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:31,190
The Templar knights had to have been at
that battle.
275
00:20:32,030 --> 00:20:37,410
The Templars were revered as great
warriors, but some question whether they
276
00:20:37,410 --> 00:20:41,910
aided by a powerful weapon they may have
been carrying with them, the Ark of the
277
00:20:41,910 --> 00:20:42,910
Covenant.
278
00:20:43,990 --> 00:20:48,370
People have asked, could this actually
be used as a weapon? Of course it could
279
00:20:48,370 --> 00:20:51,630
be. I mean, can you imagine having that
kind of technology?
280
00:20:52,190 --> 00:20:56,110
There's no question that the Ark of the
Covenant radiated a power that could be
281
00:20:56,110 --> 00:20:57,530
used for military advantage.
282
00:20:57,870 --> 00:21:03,430
When the Israelites carried it into
battle, it assisted them in assuring
283
00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:04,430
victory.
284
00:21:06,050 --> 00:21:09,970
If the Ark was carried before an army,
that army would become invincible.
285
00:21:10,630 --> 00:21:13,290
There are stories of the Ark killing
scorpions and serpents.
286
00:21:13,490 --> 00:21:17,350
The Ark in many ways was protective. It
was protective of the Israelites on
287
00:21:17,350 --> 00:21:18,350
their journey.
288
00:21:19,370 --> 00:21:24,770
The Ark of the Covenant would march
before the children of Israel as they
289
00:21:24,770 --> 00:21:29,830
through the desert, clearing out
anything that was a danger to them.
290
00:21:30,290 --> 00:21:34,150
When you're in the wilderness, you have
wild animals, you have poisonous
291
00:21:34,150 --> 00:21:40,010
surface. The Ark would prepare the way.
How it did this, we still do not know.
292
00:21:40,730 --> 00:21:47,590
No one had actual visual awareness or
contact with what was happening.
293
00:21:48,170 --> 00:21:53,170
All we have is the mystery of knowing
that it did march miles before the
294
00:21:53,170 --> 00:21:54,870
preparing the way for them.
295
00:21:56,730 --> 00:22:03,570
In my opinion, the Ark of the Covenant
functioned as a capacitor, drawing in
296
00:22:03,570 --> 00:22:10,270
electrostatic energies from the
environment into its interior.
297
00:22:10,890 --> 00:22:16,130
but that something was then triggering
it to radiate out some kind of
298
00:22:16,130 --> 00:22:21,910
electromagnetic field, one that was so
strong that it would strike people down
299
00:22:21,910 --> 00:22:23,590
who came too close.
300
00:22:24,170 --> 00:22:27,750
And I would say that it contained
something radioactive.
301
00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:34,450
Is it possible that the Ark of the
Covenant was a radioactive device that
302
00:22:34,450 --> 00:22:36,470
be used as a devastating weapon?
303
00:22:37,130 --> 00:22:41,610
And could knowledge of the Ark's awesome
powers be a reason that the Knights
304
00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:46,350
Templar kept this dangerous object
hidden and away from the hands of their
305
00:22:46,350 --> 00:22:52,170
enemies? Some researchers say that
Templar allies, the powerful Sinclair
306
00:22:52,450 --> 00:22:57,350
understood the importance of protecting
the Ark and built an elaborate hiding
307
00:22:57,350 --> 00:23:00,830
place for the dangerous object, Roslyn
Chapel.
308
00:23:01,170 --> 00:23:04,490
Roslyn Chapel is one of the most
mysterious...
309
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:12,180
holy places in the whole of scotland
many people have likened its design its
310
00:23:12,180 --> 00:23:19,020
cruciform design to the layout of king
solomon's temple and this has raised
311
00:23:19,020 --> 00:23:25,620
the question of whether or not the
knights templar may have brought
312
00:23:25,620 --> 00:23:31,820
the ark of the covenant to scotland and
the roslyn chapel could have been
313
00:23:31,820 --> 00:23:32,820
constructed
314
00:23:33,580 --> 00:23:35,220
as its new resting place.
315
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:42,680
That chapel contains a crypt deep
beneath it, and many historians believe
316
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,460
the Ark of the Covenant was kept there
for a while.
317
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,860
Rosslyn Chapel is full of Templar
symbolism, including carvings of Templar
318
00:23:50,860 --> 00:23:55,360
knights and a gravestone that belonged
to another Templar.
319
00:23:55,770 --> 00:23:58,650
The Templars are inextricable with the
legends of Rosslyn Chapel.
320
00:23:58,990 --> 00:24:03,030
Rosslyn Chapel is really the symbol of
Templar presence in Scotland.
321
00:24:04,130 --> 00:24:08,650
While millions of people are convinced
that the Knights Templar recovered the
322
00:24:08,650 --> 00:24:13,410
Ark of the Covenant at Temple Mount and
hid it somewhere along their journeys,
323
00:24:13,610 --> 00:24:19,750
likely in France or Scotland, there are
just as many who believe that it was
324
00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:23,770
taken out of Jerusalem long before the
Templars even existed.
325
00:24:24,250 --> 00:24:29,950
And some profess to have seen the Ark
and witnessed its ethereal powers with
326
00:24:29,950 --> 00:24:34,390
their own eyes in a most unlikely place,
Ethiopia.
327
00:24:41,390 --> 00:24:44,590
Aksum, Ethiopia, November 2020.
328
00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:50,930
Pro -government troops stormed the
ancient sacred city, searching out
329
00:24:50,930 --> 00:24:53,210
aligned with the region's former ruling
party.
330
00:24:53,710 --> 00:24:59,930
the TPLF. It is one episode in a
conflict that has been raging for weeks.
331
00:24:59,930 --> 00:25:05,630
this time, the soldiers target Axum's
holiest site, the Church of Our Lady
332
00:25:05,630 --> 00:25:06,630
of Zion.
333
00:25:07,650 --> 00:25:12,650
Incredibly, hundreds of civilians race
to the defense of the church and prevent
334
00:25:12,650 --> 00:25:14,230
the soldiers from gaining access.
335
00:25:15,650 --> 00:25:19,690
A staggering 800 are reportedly killed
in the process.
336
00:25:20,670 --> 00:25:24,660
But more than the church itself, They
were protecting the extraordinary
337
00:25:24,660 --> 00:25:27,760
religious artifact that is said to be
held inside.
338
00:25:29,140 --> 00:25:31,040
The Ark of the Covenant.
339
00:25:31,420 --> 00:25:36,700
There are many who believe that the Ark
is in Axum. In fact, it's believed by
340
00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:40,760
millions of Orthodox Christians that the
Ark of the Covenant is there.
341
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,220
Although many researchers believe, there
is strong evidence that the ninth
342
00:25:46,220 --> 00:25:50,560
Templar recovered the Ark of the
Covenant during their excavations at
343
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:51,560
Mount.
344
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,420
Others say that the Ark had been removed
from Jerusalem centuries before the
345
00:25:56,420 --> 00:25:57,840
Templars even arrived.
346
00:25:58,300 --> 00:26:03,660
The main proponents of this theory are
the Christians of Ethiopia, who believe
347
00:26:03,660 --> 00:26:09,840
the Ark was brought to Aksum nearly 3
,000 years ago, where it has continued
348
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,160
exert its strange powers ever since.
349
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:19,520
One version of the fate of the Ark of
the Covenant is contained within
350
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,240
an Ethiopian...
351
00:26:21,470 --> 00:26:28,330
holy book known as the Kebra Nagas. It's
a story involving King Solomon, who
352
00:26:28,330 --> 00:26:33,270
had the Ark, and his meeting with the
Queen of Sheba.
353
00:26:33,530 --> 00:26:39,950
And it was said that they had a liaison,
and that a son was born to the Queen of
354
00:26:39,950 --> 00:26:46,550
Sheba by the name of Menilac, and that
eventually Menilac travelled from
355
00:26:46,550 --> 00:26:48,390
his homeland of Ethiopia.
356
00:26:49,450 --> 00:26:52,890
to visit his father Solomon in Israel.
357
00:26:54,690 --> 00:26:59,930
According to the story, when Menelik
left Israel, he and his men secretly
358
00:26:59,930 --> 00:27:00,930
the Ark with them.
359
00:27:01,610 --> 00:27:06,290
The details of their journey back to
Ethiopia once again illustrate the
360
00:27:06,290 --> 00:27:08,710
otherworldly power of the Ark of the
Covenant.
361
00:27:10,130 --> 00:27:15,850
They first go from Jerusalem to Gaza,
and then from there they travel into
362
00:27:15,850 --> 00:27:17,090
with the Ark of the Covenant.
363
00:27:18,030 --> 00:27:24,990
And then the Ark of the Covenant is made
to fly their wagon. And they then fly
364
00:27:24,990 --> 00:27:31,690
across the Red Sea to the Saudi Arabian
Yemen side
365
00:27:31,690 --> 00:27:34,870
of the Red Sea. This is all detailed in
the Kebra Nagas.
366
00:27:35,150 --> 00:27:39,730
This book is thousands of years old. It
is clearly described that Solomon's son
367
00:27:39,730 --> 00:27:43,190
were flying with the Ark of the
Covenant.
368
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,280
They were not on the ground. They were
flying over Egypt.
369
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,180
Some temples were destroyed because of
the noise and the crumbling. They were
370
00:27:52,180 --> 00:27:53,440
flying and came to Ethiopia.
371
00:27:54,100 --> 00:28:00,980
The Ark of the Covenant was then put in
a special church, built for it in Aksum.
372
00:28:02,060 --> 00:28:08,460
One Ethiopian Coptic priest is allowed
to live in
373
00:28:08,460 --> 00:28:12,640
that special church, and only he.
374
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:19,200
is allowed to view the Ark, and he is
essentially, while he lives, the
375
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,200
of the Ark of the Covenant.
376
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,300
The guardian of the Ark chooses who will
be a successor when he dies.
377
00:28:26,660 --> 00:28:30,460
The job is both highly coveted and
highly dangerous.
378
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:36,280
The guardians who've been there,
generation after generation, protecting
379
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:41,140
have gone blind, they've had radiation
poisoning, they've got cancer.
380
00:28:41,530 --> 00:28:46,430
So it seems that the Ark may have had
radioactive qualities which actually
381
00:28:46,430 --> 00:28:50,690
harm to people if you're in the vicinity
of it for too long. And this echoes the
382
00:28:50,690 --> 00:28:54,830
original stories, saying it was some all
-powerful device.
383
00:28:55,990 --> 00:29:00,330
The same description you find in the
book of the kings of the Ethiopians, the
384
00:29:00,330 --> 00:29:05,870
Kebra Negers. There they say the inside
of the Ark is not from this planet.
385
00:29:06,890 --> 00:29:10,830
Some believe that the ailments suffered
by those said to guard the Ark at the
386
00:29:10,830 --> 00:29:16,010
church in Aksum provide compelling
evidence that they are, in fact,
387
00:29:16,010 --> 00:29:17,510
an otherworldly technology.
388
00:29:19,050 --> 00:29:24,090
But there is still another, even more
audacious theory regarding what happened
389
00:29:24,090 --> 00:29:29,510
to the Ark of the Covenant and a man who
claims to have found it.
390
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,160
Johannesburg, South Africa, 1985.
391
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:48,440
British scholar Tudor Parfit is giving a
lecture on his academic specialty, the
392
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,140
history of ancient Jews who settled in
Africa.
393
00:29:52,140 --> 00:29:56,140
During his lecture, Parfit is intrigued
by a group in the audience.
394
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,120
They're dressed in traditional African
garments, but wearing what look like
395
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,300
Jewish skull caps.
396
00:30:03,660 --> 00:30:09,120
They explained that they were the Lemba
people and that they were Jews.
397
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,940
The story that they told me was rather
compelling, and they invited me to go
398
00:30:14,940 --> 00:30:18,120
with them to their villages, which I
did.
399
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,520
And I was convinced by what I saw in
these little villages that there was
400
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,840
something profoundly submitting about
this group.
401
00:30:29,470 --> 00:30:34,650
Although the Lemba are native to
Zimbabwe, they not only observe Semitic
402
00:30:34,650 --> 00:30:40,310
laws and cultural practices, they
claimed to be descendants of Jews who
403
00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:42,350
Holy Land thousands of years ago.
404
00:30:43,230 --> 00:30:47,310
Jews known in history as the Ten Lost
Tribes of Israel.
405
00:30:48,430 --> 00:30:53,350
And according to the Lemba, their
ancestors brought a mysterious object
406
00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:55,570
Africa from the Great Temple in
Jerusalem.
407
00:30:56,090 --> 00:31:01,300
In his book, The Lost Ark of the
Covenant, Parvatt recounts the
408
00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:06,580
the object, called the Ngomolungungu, as
a wooden drum used to store sacred
409
00:31:06,580 --> 00:31:07,580
objects.
410
00:31:08,180 --> 00:31:14,640
They would often tell me about the
Ngomolungungu, the drum which
411
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,260
thunders. It's quite similar to the Ark
of the Covenant.
412
00:31:20,439 --> 00:31:24,680
Like the Ark of the Covenant, there were
carrying rings on each corner.
413
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,180
Like the Ark of the Covenant, it had the
reputation of being a murderous weapon
414
00:31:30,180 --> 00:31:35,620
that they carried into war, and it
assured victory in combat.
415
00:31:36,180 --> 00:31:41,740
So, in lots of ways, the Nagorma
416
00:31:41,740 --> 00:31:47,680
seemed to be very similar to the idea of
the Ark of the Covenant.
417
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,520
Not only is there a sacred object that's
lost, it's a sacred wooden object
418
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,660
that's carved, that has rings on it,
that poles are put through to transport
419
00:31:57,740 --> 00:32:03,080
Let's look at the Ark of War as it's
known in Deuteronomy, and let's think
420
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:09,960
this engoma, this drum that thunders,
this idea that this drum speaks with
421
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:10,960
the voice of God.
422
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,180
The Ark of the Covenant is the presence
of God.
423
00:32:14,540 --> 00:32:17,040
Could they in fact be one and the same?
424
00:32:18,850 --> 00:32:24,670
According to the Lemba, the Ngoma
Lungundu had been kept in a cave for
425
00:32:24,670 --> 00:32:26,950
before mysteriously disappearing.
426
00:32:27,870 --> 00:32:33,190
But could the powerful object they
described have really been the lost Ark
427
00:32:33,190 --> 00:32:34,190
the Covenant?
428
00:32:34,630 --> 00:32:39,090
And were the Lemba truly the descendants
of the ancient Israelites?
429
00:32:41,670 --> 00:32:48,320
In 1997, thanks to advances in DNA
technology, Tudor Parfit and
430
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:53,500
a group of British scientists are able
to identify a specific genetic signature
431
00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:58,980
for descendants of ancient Israelite
priests called Kohanim, who were
432
00:32:58,980 --> 00:33:03,140
by Moses' brother Aaron with the full
knowledge of the Ark of the Covenant's
433
00:33:03,140 --> 00:33:04,140
hidden powers.
434
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:10,600
We know that it was the descendants of
Aaron who were responsible for
435
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,360
and operating the Ark of the Covenant.
436
00:33:13,539 --> 00:33:17,800
Recently, geneticists have discovered
that that lineage continues up until the
437
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:18,679
modern day.
438
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:23,620
Now, if the Ark of the Covenant were
brought into our world today, it would
439
00:33:23,620 --> 00:33:29,600
sense that we would need the descendants
of Aaron to once again operate the Ark.
440
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:36,500
To Parfit's astonishment, when members
of the Lemba undergo DNA testing, they
441
00:33:36,500 --> 00:33:41,880
are found to have the genetic signature
of the Kohenine, called the Kohen modal
442
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:42,880
haplotype.
443
00:33:44,940 --> 00:33:50,920
We were looking for the Coen modal
haplotype among the Lemba, and we found
444
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:56,440
Lemba to be relatively rich in the Coen
modal haplotype.
445
00:33:57,700 --> 00:34:04,600
Once it seemed that the priestly tribe
of the Lemba was the same as the
446
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,520
priestly tribe of the Jews, then the
question of the Ngum became very much
447
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,360
interesting to me.
448
00:34:12,710 --> 00:34:17,170
Parfit spent much of the next decade
traveling across Africa and the Middle
449
00:34:17,170 --> 00:34:21,190
East, following every lead in search of
the Ngomolungundu.
450
00:34:22,330 --> 00:34:29,130
In 2007, he was ready to give up the
search, but decided to follow one last
451
00:34:29,130 --> 00:34:33,310
to a small museum in Harare, the capital
of Zimbabwe.
452
00:34:34,210 --> 00:34:40,050
He goes to the museum, and he goes into
one of the storerooms, and it's almost
453
00:34:40,050 --> 00:34:41,050
straight out of a movie.
454
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:46,440
I've looked around the various places
where things might have been deposited,
455
00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:50,159
and to my considerable surprise, I found
it.
456
00:34:51,460 --> 00:34:56,780
It's an old piece of wood, but he's
amazed because one of the first things
457
00:34:56,780 --> 00:35:02,640
notices is the scorch marks. It's been
burned exactly like the story that says,
458
00:35:02,740 --> 00:35:06,660
oh, at a particular point in history,
there was a fire that came out of this
459
00:35:06,660 --> 00:35:10,660
that actually killed the people who were
standing beside this.
460
00:35:11,340 --> 00:35:16,140
Critics complained that the crude wooden
object did not resemble the biblical
461
00:35:16,140 --> 00:35:20,740
descriptions of the Ark. But Parfit
points out that according to Lemba
462
00:35:20,740 --> 00:35:25,040
tradition, the original wooden box was
destroyed in a fiery explosion.
463
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:30,400
And this smaller object was
reconstructed from a piece of the
464
00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:37,460
One could imagine that there had been a
succession of Arks which had been used,
465
00:35:37,620 --> 00:35:39,580
got worn out.
466
00:35:40,430 --> 00:35:47,130
and were rebuilt, and which finally led
to the Ark, which today is to be
467
00:35:47,130 --> 00:35:50,990
found in a small museum in Harare.
468
00:35:52,170 --> 00:35:57,050
It's this amazing story, because here's
Tudor Parfit, this great, respected
469
00:35:57,050 --> 00:36:01,730
academic, who has now announced that he
has discovered the Ark of the Covenant.
470
00:36:01,870 --> 00:36:05,350
That makes international news, and
there's great debate.
471
00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:12,680
If one is to think that... The Ark
exists anywhere, why not in Africa?
472
00:36:12,940 --> 00:36:17,280
It makes a lot more sense than many
other places where it has been imagined
473
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,660
be. The Lembo were very straightforward
about their Ark. They said, at a certain
474
00:36:21,660 --> 00:36:23,980
point it was destroyed, we made another
one.
475
00:36:25,180 --> 00:36:31,900
But what I do think is that this object
is probably the closest
476
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:38,060
thing that has ever been found to the
original Ark of the Covenant.
477
00:36:39,540 --> 00:36:45,320
Is it possible that an ancient wooden
object on display in a museum in
478
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,760
represents the last remnants of the Ark
of the Covenant?
479
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:54,300
Some researchers believe the
otherworldly technology that the
480
00:36:54,300 --> 00:36:56,960
vessel is alleged to have held still
exists.
481
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:04,600
And it will soon be found, not in
Africa, but back in its rightful home on
482
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:05,600
Temple Mount.
483
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,760
Mount Scopus, Israel.
484
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:20,720
Here, in northeastern Jerusalem, lie 9
,000 tons of soil illegally excavated
485
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:25,380
removed from Temple Mount in 1999 by the
Islamic Religious Trust.
486
00:37:26,820 --> 00:37:30,420
Excavations are not permitted on the
sacred space of Temple Mount.
487
00:37:30,820 --> 00:37:36,320
But because this soil has already been
removed, both experts and volunteers
488
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,600
been able to sift through it.
489
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:43,140
And incredibly, it has produced hundreds
of thousands of ancient artifacts.
490
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:48,440
Might clues pointing to the existence of
the Ark of the Covenant, and perhaps
491
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,040
its location, be found in the soil from
Temple Mount?
492
00:37:54,220 --> 00:38:00,760
In modern -day Israel, many have tried
to go under Temple Mount, and it is well
493
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:05,440
known that there are secret catacombs
and that there are passageways that have
494
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,940
been blocked off, which lead to many,
many secrets.
495
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,960
To what is down there, who can say?
496
00:38:13,460 --> 00:38:19,840
The Temple Mount is a site where many
people believe there are
497
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,700
things of great power, maybe still
hidden.
498
00:38:24,540 --> 00:38:31,120
It's a site of immense significance to
all three of the world's
499
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,140
main religions.
500
00:38:33,340 --> 00:38:36,620
The importance of Temple Mount is really
interesting.
501
00:38:37,580 --> 00:38:44,560
For Jews, when Isaac is offered up for
sacrifice by Abraham, this happens on
502
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:45,560
Temple Mount.
503
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,080
It then gets connected to the Christian
tradition that comes later.
504
00:38:51,060 --> 00:38:55,260
For Muslims, this spot is important
because this is where the prophet
505
00:38:55,260 --> 00:38:56,900
ascends up to heaven.
506
00:38:58,260 --> 00:39:02,480
There very much is this idea that
there's a holiness in this spot.
507
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,860
Jews aren't even supposed to walk.
508
00:39:04,430 --> 00:39:09,450
on the area of the Temple Mount because
the space is so powerful. The idea is
509
00:39:09,450 --> 00:39:11,570
that the presence of God is here.
510
00:39:12,770 --> 00:39:18,210
Interestingly, this is the actual site
where in 2011 there were multiple
511
00:39:18,210 --> 00:39:22,130
of strange light seen above Jerusalem.
512
00:39:22,970 --> 00:39:29,010
If the event recorded on video over
Temple Mount on January 28,
513
00:39:29,430 --> 00:39:35,510
2011 was in fact related to the Ark of
the Covenant, As some ancient astronaut
514
00:39:35,510 --> 00:39:40,530
theorists suspect, could it be evidence
that the Ark still resides there?
515
00:39:40,790 --> 00:39:44,990
Many people think it was fake, but we
have too many witnesses and too many
516
00:39:44,990 --> 00:39:48,190
sources that can prove that this
actually happened.
517
00:39:48,810 --> 00:39:55,410
It gives us to speculate that indeed the
Ark was sending and
518
00:39:55,410 --> 00:40:02,250
receiving signals from some actual
tangible place from which we will have
519
00:40:02,250 --> 00:40:04,420
contact. in time to come.
520
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:10,480
As far as ancient astronaut theorists
are concerned, whether the Ark of the
521
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:16,260
Covenant lies beneath Temple Mount or is
hidden thousands of miles away, one
522
00:40:16,260 --> 00:40:17,420
thing is certain.
523
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:21,700
It remains the world's most important
lost relic.
524
00:40:23,140 --> 00:40:27,620
I think it's very possible that the Ark
of the Covenant does still exist.
525
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,220
And I feel that it's likely that at
least some people actually know where it
526
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:40,600
The Ark of the Covenant is one of the
greatest pieces in the ancient astronaut
527
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:47,540
theory because there was an actual
physical object that had a connection
528
00:40:47,540 --> 00:40:50,240
to the so -called celestial realm.
529
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:55,000
So, I mean, the Ark of the Covenant is
one of the most enduring ancient
530
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,020
mysteries of all time.
531
00:40:58,540 --> 00:41:04,100
The Ark holds the promise that it will
bring a new revelation with it. It could
532
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,540
completely transform our civilization.
533
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,200
This is the potential power with the Ark
of the Covenant.
534
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:17,600
The Ark might actually be the proof that
we have been seeking throughout human
535
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:24,220
history of our forgotten past and our
greater potential of
536
00:41:24,220 --> 00:41:26,980
contact with the greater universe and
world.
537
00:41:27,950 --> 00:41:34,590
Indeed, if we could have the Ark and
operate it and make contact,
538
00:41:34,970 --> 00:41:39,250
who would we be talking to? What would
we be opening up?
539
00:41:40,690 --> 00:41:45,630
Could an otherworldly device of
unfathomable power that our ancestors
540
00:41:45,630 --> 00:41:51,170
encountered thousands of years ago still
exist somewhere on Earth today?
541
00:41:52,990 --> 00:41:54,870
Perhaps the Ark of the Covenant.
542
00:41:55,210 --> 00:41:58,050
will soon be revealed to humanity once
again.
543
00:41:58,530 --> 00:42:04,450
And within this sacred box, we will find
the undeniable proof of our celestial
544
00:42:04,450 --> 00:42:05,450
origins.
