Ark of the Covenant keyword, chrono sorted:
It’s with a lot of other crates in a warehouse at a place called Area 51
Here it is.
They basically “find” it every year or so, so History channel can make another show about it.
You know, that government warehouse was big, but it wasn’t that big. You’d think they could just start at one end and just open every box, carton, or container while working their way to the other end. They’d be bound to find it eventually.
Jeremiah 3:16
In those days, when you multiply and increase in the land,” declares the LORD, “no longer will they say, ‘The ark of the LORD’s covenant.’ It will never come to mind, and no one will remember it or miss it, NOR WILL ANOTHER ONE BE MADE.
Never understood why people think a 3500 year old wooden box (and an even older wooden boat) would still be around to be found.
It’s not on Oak Island?!
No, but I'm sure they'll find a tunnel to Israel, one of these seasons of "Curse of Oak Island".
I’d be more interested in the alleged 33 tons of gold at site 2, and feel safer leaving the ark alone where God left it.
I think I'd have noticed that. Anyway, here's the earlier topic about the same guy, same search; I like the fact that he regards the Copper Scroll as a usable document, and regards Qumran as the hiding place of the Temple items and treasures from the time of the First Temple. Anyway, he worked out locations from the text, and checked them out using metal detectors. The video linked above is less than 6 minutes long, and definitely motivates me to figure out how to watch the full episode.
I would like to like this genre of shows but the answer to the question “Has the lost blankety-blankety blank of so-and-so finally been found?” is always “no.”
100% The right answer.
The mysteries of the Copper Scroll, found in one of the Dead Sea caves, have never really been solved. The Copper Scroll seems to contain a list of treasure -- and is the kind of find that Indiana Jones could have used to track down vast amounts of gold and silver ingots. Its very substance -- fine copper -- indicates that the people who hid this text were wealthy. But not a single piece of treasure from the Copper Scroll has ever been located...
The Copper Scroll was discovered in the cave explorations done jointly by the American Schools of Oriental Research (ASOR), the Palestine Archaeological Museum, and the Ecole Biblique et Archeologique Franuzs in March 1952. It was found by a team headed by French archaeologist Henri de Contenson in a cave about 1 mile north of the site of Qumran, in the northwestern region of the Dead Sea. Known as 3Q (the third cave found with manuscripts in it, close to the site of Qumran [Q]), this cave otherwise contained fragments of parchment and papyrus manuscripts, textiles, more than 30 broken cylindrical jars, more than 20 lids, two jugs, and a lamp.
However, it is the Copper Scroll that is the most extraordinary find. It was actually not one intact scroll, but two rolls, which were found one on top of the other at the back of the cave's front chamber. This is because one of the three parts of the scroll had broken off when it was rolled; it was supposed to be whole. In 1955-1956, it was cut into 23 pieces in the Manchester Institute of Technology, by Henry Wright Baker, through the agency of Dead Sea Scroll scholar John Marco Allegro. Finally, it could be read. And it was immediately sensational -- in that it appears to be a list of buried treasure.

(as some of you know, my view is that the stash was made ahead of the Babylonian despoiling of Jerusalem and the Babylonian Captivity. This piece from the BAR posits a date of the 1st Roman War, which is much too late, IMHO)
Please add me to your ping list - I’m always interested in your posts. Thank you.
The contents and the location are in one place? Amazing.

It’s not on Oak Island?!
It’s under Oak Island but they don’t know where. /s
