That should prove interesting, whatever is revealed.

If someone touches the Ark and bursts into flame, is it a case of Arkancide?

If you can understand any Italian, here is more on this story:

I hope he has arranged for excellent security.

Is this a first-time-ever type of announcement I wonder??

I got chills reading it.

We had a bad case of that in 1992. Lasted all the way 'till 2000.

A museum? I hope that’s a mistranslation.

Doubtful. The Ethiopian Govt. has woken up and noticed (finally) just how much $$$$ places like Rome and Jerusalem (not to mention lesser sites like Lourdes) rake in from religious pilgrims. And they're looking to get in on the action.

Obama’s birth certificate?? LOL There is no such animal.

[MEGoody]

Uh huh. I’ll believe it when it’s proven. I want to see the tablets of the law, the manna and Aaron’s budding staff.

You’re thinking of the Kaaba stone. That’s in Mecca.

In Jerusalem, the Dome of the Rock mosque sits over a rock from which - supposedly - Muhammad ascended into heaven. Here’s the rock: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_rock_of_the_Dome_of_the_Rock_Corrected.JPG.jpg

I don’t. Well, a little. But it IS out there, just waiting for the temple to be rebuilt.

I think there’s some “Jewish” ceremony they perform. I saw a documentary once, showing them performing it in the 1940’s.

Now wait a minute...
It is my understanding that Muslims acknowledge that Muhamed rotted in the ground after his death.

i saw a History channel 2 hour special where this guy was all over the place and finally found the Ark in a small museum.

It was shaped like a half round basket and made of reeds.

Thank you so much!
I got the gist of some of it, but I see that that website has an English version, so I’ll try to find that too!

That’s right. He returned from Heaven - on his winged horse Buraq - after checking some things with Allah.

Islam is for Retards.

comments at freerepublic will be the true test.

Stay tuned,SC—something for your GGG collection.

I believe Vlad was referring to the Mi'raj

[MrB]

Pardon my ignorance, but I’d like to get this right.

You’re saying that the mythology states that Mo ascended bodily to heaven, while alive, then returned on Barry the horse, and then died and was buried.
