And it's a space radio!

Quote:

One famous adherent to this theory is Dr. Vendyl Jones. He is a modern-day explorer and teacher and the true inspiration for the Indiana Jones series. Startling the world, he announced last week on Israel National Radio that he actually knows the location of the Ark.
He says according to ancient documents the Ark is hidden in a secret passage that runs 18 miles south of the Temple Mount into the Judean Desert. Before dismissing his claim as a lark, it is worth noting that Jones published a book in 1959 predicting the precise outbreak of the Six Day War...

Now Jones is convinced that with the help of ancient documents found in Qumran, he has pinpointed the location of the Ark. And armed with the blessing of religious leaders, Jones hopes to reveal the location of the Ark by Aug. 14, which marks the Fast of Tisha B'Av. This holy day commemorates repeated tragedy in Jewish history including the destruction of both the First and the Second Holy Temples.

Jones' plan is simple. It is to drill a borehole into the chamber containing the Ark, drop a pin-camera in and reveal the historic treasure to a watching world.

Of course, the writer of the blog quoted also has to mention Wyatt, and give some amusing recounting of that particular tale.

The original is from Wingnut Daily, of course: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=44495

The author, Kelly Hollowell finishes with:

Quote:

Of course, whether Jones actually uncovers the Ark is not the sole issue. Equally compelling is proving once more through science that the Bible is more than just a collection of parables. Are you ready for this?

Kinda amusing actually.

"Before dismissing his claim as a lark, it is worth noting that Jones published a book in 1959 predicting the precise outbreak of the Six Day War..."

Does this sentence make any sense at all?

If that's for me, I don't waste my time with it, but some of the blogs I have on rss feed will sometimes link to stories. They give a :rolling: or a :banghead: when they are featured.
