Quote:Jona, I wasn't joking.And I wasn't referring to you. I first thought I'd write that I found the jokes about Indiana Jones a but cheap, but decided to leave out the part that would have clarified my aim. You know you often make me smile, but I am aware that you can be very serious as well.
Quote:I have also heard about this alleged "original" Ark of the Covenant. It is possible that the original was NOT carried out by the Babylonians or the Romans, but hidden somewhere when it was clear they were going to take Jerusalem, separately of course.The object probably disappeared in Babylonian times. The Books of the Maccabees already describe about its disappearance in terms that I would consider to be legend.
