Found: The Ark of the Covenant




Tudor Parfitt, a professor at the University of London’s prestigious School of Oriental and African Studies, said that he has found the Ark of the Covenant, rather, a replacement container for the original Ark in “a dusty bottom shelf in a museum in Harare, Zimbabwe.”

This “important” news of the discovery of the Ark (or its replacement) is being reported by TIME Magazine.

It's a fake. The real one is in a government warehouse in Washington D.C. just where Indiana Jones left it!

I tend to agree with you. Indiana Jones could never be wrong.

Scott,

The Garden of Eden is not in Zimbabwe, it is in Nigeria.

Ellen White wrote in 1901.

"The precious record of the law was placed in the ark of the tes-tament and is still there, safely hidden from the human family. But in God's appointed time He will bring forth these tables of stone to be a testimony to all the world against the disregard of His com-mandments and against the idol-atrous worship of counterfeit Sabbath. Manuscript 122, 1901, p.4
