"But there are other difficulties with Ark of Covenant that have to do with possibility that it could have been part of treasure of Rome brought by Visigoths to Rennes-le-Château. According to Old Testament, Exodus, Ark of Covenant was constructed soon after Israelites had escaped across Red Sea from bondage in Egypt. Modern engineers have been intrigued by specification of Ark because, if directions are followed precisely, one ends up making a fairly powerful electrical condenser. It was a box of very specific dimensions made of acacia wood (an insulator). It was covered, inside and out, with gold (an excellent conductor). If two surfaces of gold were separated from each other, then a very powerful condenser of electricity is result. In dry air of Middle East, it would accumulate a very powerful charge. (15)
But Ark was more than just a condenser, it was a 'spark transmitter' roughly tuned to a specific frequency by very precise dimensions given to Moses for basic acacia-wood box. In this matter, Ark was similar to early 'cavity tubes' in 1930s radar research where desired radar frequency was obtained by actually machining cavities of various volumes into metal blocks. {So we can see how electricity aided gold merchants who were plating silver or lead from archaeology, perhaps. We know there are other galvanic and electrical sources for such power as well.} The Ark was a 'cavity' of precise dimensions, and one in a gold-sheathed box.
The Ark also had a top, of same general construction as basic box. This lid of box had golden 'cherubim' at each end {Imagine if they were able to induce separate polar charges in 'high- spin' atomic state per writings of Gardner from 'science'; into each of these 'cherubim'.} and a 'Mercy Seat.' {Mercy might then be like 'devoted ones' or a form of capital punishment to be used in conjunction with energizing soul be ritual into tubes we hear were receptacles for souls and which may tie in with jade tubes on head of Prince of Palenque from 'science' segment.} The Bible doesn't tell" us exactly how these components were arranged, or how they were attached to Ark's top. It is well to remember that although Moses is supposed to be author of Exodus, according to Hebrew tradition, earliest known written account dates from almost one thousand years later {And there is uncertainty about who Moses was and when he was around as we have shown. But, his sister was one of most adept alchemists, I think.}. Moses might not have described everything about Ark in first place, but even if he had, it seems probable that some details would have become fuzzy in one thousand years of oral transmission before story was written down.
Without assuming any 'secret' or 'unknown' components at all, but working only with Ark as described, only two assumptions are necessary in order to construct a fairly powerful spark transmitter. One assumption is that an ancient, pliable insulating material was available so that parts of Ark could be attached in ways that both insulated them from, and conducted them to, basic box condenser-cavity-frequency- modulator in order to produce a 'circuit'. Such an insulating material was widely available to ancient Israelites and Egyptians--bitumen, tar. {For example Sodom and Gomorrah and what is now Iraq is populated with tar pits. Pitch fires of a continual nature existed in places like La Brea Tar Pits for eons and would have provided early man with fire, too.} And we don't need to assume that artisans and priests in ancient Middle East used bitumen to insulate and to seal simple electrical devices.
Wet-cell electric batteries, using acidic citrus juice as an electrolyte, were discovered in a Baghdad museum. (16) They were sealed with bitumen, and internal electrodes were insulated from each other with bitumen. These primitive batteries have been dated to about A.D. 700. But fundamental electric devices were used much earlier than that. Tiny golden beads from XVIII Dynasty Egypt (c.1550 B.C.) were found to have only a thin coating of gold over some base metal {We showed Ashkelon had a calf of Ba'al with silver plating from Phoenicians and National Geographic in 'science'. The Phocaeans had mass produced electrum plated coinage first according to Michael Grant, etc., etc.}. The beads are so small, and also without any sort of seam or hammered edge to gold layer, that gold could have been applied only by electroplating. (17) Given a citrus-juice battery like those of Baghdad {Where a printed circuit in a museum was thought to be embroidery by archaeologists until a computer expert saw it.}, electroplating of gold would not have been difficult. So we don't have to assume an electrical insulating material, and we don't have to assume basic knowledge of electricity in Middle Eastern antiquity. We know it.
The second assumption is that there were instructions, or a model, indicating what was to be insulated with bitumen, and what was to be solidly attached with ubiquitous gold. {They had superconductive knowledge according to Gardner and calcium is useful in these regards.}
Let us consider one 'cherub' at one end of Ark. These 'cherubim' seem to have been Egyptian idea of a 'griffon'--an animal with claws and long pointed wings {Important in gargoyle genre of gothic architecture and alchemy.}, a sort of cross between a lion and a hawk. Let us suppose that our cherub at one end of box had one gold claw connected to inner sheet of gold on acacia-wood box, and other claw attached to gold sheath on exterior of acacia box. Further, suppose that this separation was maintained up to long wings, which were of gold. Suppose that wings were hinged or pivoted to be able to 'flap' like a proper cherub. Maybe they were just mounted in a glob of bitumen with bars, wires, or much more flexible leather-sheathed chain-links {Or ultra strong human hair.} of gold maintaining required connections.
Assembled like this, there would be a very formidable spark between cherub's pointed gold wings each time they were pushed close together. The Ark would arc--because of electric charge that had accumulated in condenser. And it would arc according to a rough frequency dictated by dimensions of Ark's basic cavity. Touching wings at once with bare hands would have resulted in instant death or burn depending on strength of charge that had been accumulated. Operating Ark, or even touching it, would have been a potentially fatal business for anyone not thoroughly initiated into necessary procedures. The Bible mentions at least one instance in which a non-priest fell dead trying to save Ark--the man grabbed it when it was in danger of falling off a wagon. This was in early days of Israelite struggles in Canaan.
