A priest could move wings with sticks of wood as insulation, {Thales invented (?) a small steam engine.} or perhaps some fancier arrangement of moving cherub's wings was contrived. Maybe there was a simple lever system insulated appropriately with wood, leather and bitumen--pull cherub's tail (or head) and wings would approach each other to make an arc, for example. Simple 'wooden' linkages.

Making such an electric arc in a dark place like a tent or a central Temple crypt without windows (i.e., 'Holy of Holies') would have been hard on priest's eyes {and impressive to great unwashed}. If 'stones' in Urim and Thummim were sheets of mica, common in Middle East, then The Bible's 'silver bows' in which they were mounted would have resulted in granny-style welder's glasses. These would have saved High Priest's eyesight when communicating with 'Lord'.

This sort of 'arc-spark' transmitter would have sent bursts of what we call static out into atmosphere. {And for uninitiated artists or journalistic historians they might describe it as forces such as waft and whirl in Spielberg movie.}

What about 'receiver'? Let's consider other cherub at other end of arc. It would need to be completely separated from structure of Ark by a layer of bitumen. Its wings were supposedly golden, too, and if they were balanced and supported well, an 'electroscope' results. When this cherub was engulfed in a burst of electromagnetic radiation, its wings would repel each other and flap apart. This would naturally happen whenever cherub at other end of Ark was manipulated to produce a spark-arc. If receiving cherub's wings were delicately counterbalanced, they would close again as charge on open wings dissipated.

There would be a charming and satisfying symmetry to antics of these cherubim wings--a spark made by moving transmitting cherub's wings closer together would cause receiving cherub's wings to open.

{Do you think anyone sought to identify one as male and other female and justify why men are entitled to 'spark' females who must 'open' to them'?}

But receiving cherub's wings would sometimes open when spark-cherub was not being operated. This electroscope would also respond to natural bursts of electromagnetic energy--lightning. A nearby storm would cause very definite wing movements indeed {If you can refer to entry under divining-rod you will see they may have been able to track such natural energy as Nazca lines which are over tectonic rifts deep in earth.}, while a lightning strike hundreds of miles away might cause barely a twitch of wings.

But if a one time there were a number of Arks, all made same way, receiving cherub would also respond to electromagnetic energy purpose full caused by a High Priest operating some distant Ark. If transmitting Ark was many miles distant, repelling movement of receiving cherub's wings might be very small--too minute to be detected, {There could be specified times to transmit and re-transmit back to a central area where a person was involved in king's chamber that accentuated their psychic sensitivity.} with certainty, by a priestly observer. But this problem could be easily solved. With a small light source, like a candle or an oil lamp {Or pendulums covered in Divining-rod entry with psychic.}, 'religiously' positioned at specific places near receiving cherub, even tiny wing movements could be greatly amplified by jewels on wings. The jewels would reflect light onto some surface--a wall of a Temple sanctum or dark cloth of a bedouin canopy--so that, in a dark chamber, reception could be clearly perceived.

The technology described above was well within resources and capabilities of Ancient Egyptian and Israelite artisans. The idea for it is problem {He wrote this before Mungo Man discovery.}.

More than one modern radio engineer has noted that Ark of Covenant was a primitive sort of 'spark transmitter' that could send, and receive, strong electromagnetic impulses--in fact, Ark seems quite similar to transmitter with which Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857-94) was able to demonstrate existence of 'Hertzian' (radio) waves in 1888. With his slightly more evolved spark transmitter, Guglielmo Marchese Marconi (1874-1937) first sent long-distance electromagnetic waves in 1895 {He did not invent radio and 25 years after Tesla died U. S. Patent Office awarded patent to Tesla, or at least acknowledged he discovered it. For those who know origin of Tesla's knowledge and 'vision' you will understand my suggestions about sensitive people or akashic are mild in comparison.}, and then sent them across Atlantic in 1901.

The Ark of Covenant could have been used, and at one time must have been used, to send and receive messages over long distances. If spark-arc could be generated in a sequence by manipulating wings effectively {It should also be clear codes and symbols used to send info would be important alphabet or language ingredients.}, then bursts of static would radiate into atmosphere in same purposeful sequence. In Marconi 'wireless' system, Morse code was mostly used. In Morse system, for example, three short bursts 'dot-dot-dot', {Perhaps I should add this to my support for Ogham as an original language because Ogham adapts to this as well as sign language quite well.) represent letter 'S', three longer arcs 'dash-dash-dash' represent letter 'O'. Therefore S-O-S could be sparked into air. This is international code for 'Help!'

But every letter and every number can be represented by some combination of dots and dashes {The Mayan numerical system is a combination of these.}. That's Morse code. If you have enough electricity to generate a lot of sparks, and if you have a lot of patience, {If they had chemicals in cavity of Ark such as phosphorus would this add to spooky effects as well as usefulness?} messages of any desired length and complexity can be sent. And much patience would have been required because, with a transmitter-receiver as primitive as Ark, purposeful messages would frequently have been confused or completely drowned out by static from distant electrical storms. {Clearly technology would be less useful if others were on air at same time, and need for secrecy would be immense.} Our own early 'wireless' had same problem, frustration, and inefficiency."

Pierre Berton is a highly respected Canadian author and historian who tells story with appropriate documentation of extinction of these once fun-loving and free people. It is a black mark on our collective consciousness and heritage made all worse by a lack of awareness and transparency about what really happened. The effort to keep knowledge of 'travelers' and messengers or other agents of worldwide ecumenicism continues unabated and with something close to evil intent. It is entirely possible that courts would decide white men were invaders and destroyers of a culture and people who had every legal and moral right to expect newcomers to act like white men that had come to live with them and trade previous ten thousand or more years. It is possible that we all might agree Paradise that was North America had a better form of land use and education or health or extended family management akin to Kelts; and in line with purpose God wants us to fulfill.
