Just when you think you've finally figured out where the line between fact and fiction is, along comes someone to blurry it up again:
An unnamed Kabbalist has granted blessing to famed archeologist Dr. Vendyl Jones to uncover the Holy Ark of the Covenant. Jones plans to excavate the Lost Ark by the Tisha B’Av Fast this summer.
The famed archaeologist, the inspiration for the “Indiana Jones” movie series, has spent most of his life searching for the Ark of the Covenant. The ark was the resting place of the Ten Commandments, given to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai, and was hidden just before the destruction of the First Temple.
The Talmud says the Ark is hidden in a secret passage under the Temple Mount. Jones says that the tunnel actually continues 18 miles southward, and that the Ark was brought through the tunnel to its current resting place in the Judean Desert.
But when he finds it, will he have to battle Nazis and avert his eyes when they open it? Also -- just in theory -- if opening the Ark brings down the wrath of God, what would happen if you just x-rayed it? So many questions.

At least he'll know about that "cover your eyes" thingy.

Will he be disappointed when he finds a dead knight with a shield telling the location of the holy grail? I wonder....

He better not touch the Ark of the Covenant! -Krissy
