I am not familiar with this guy being lucas and speilbergs inspiration. I've only ever heard of it being Roy Chapman Andrews.
If you are familiar with another source, I'd like to see it. I've only ever seen it as being andrews, but I suppose there might be other people
that helped inspire it too.

. Fascinating experience and very convincing.
Wyatt was a fraud. He too claimed to have found the ark of the covenant, and that he would show the 'real data' and pics at the right time. He's
been dead for years now. He didn't show it, becuase he didn't have it. He also claimed to have found Noahs Ark, but had nothing.

If the Ark is found, it belongs in the Holy of Holies which will mean that the Muslim mosques on the Temple Mount will need to be
destroyed.
Obviously thats not going ot happen, even if the ark did exist. THat'd be a piss poor excuse to bulldoze someone elses temple, especially
considering that the ark hasn't been in the holy of holies for a long time now, and even back in the day they'd take it out.
both temples were destroyed on this day.
I doubt anyone knows when the first temple was actually destroyed, certainly not down to the very day. The fact that they're both said to be
destroyed the same day more than indicates that the destruction of the first date is made up. The first temple is solomon's temple no?? Its mythic,
not historical, althought admitedly rather likely. But the date of itse destruction? How'd anyone know? THe 'babylonians' invaded and destroyed
it and took the jews into captivity, thousands of years ago, they're not going to have been able to keep accurate records of the day of the year in
that time.
If the Ark doesn't exhibit supernatural powers,
IF???

Do we assume this is real McCoy, or just a replica???
The ark is claimed to be made from wood. I suppose radiocarbon dating would work on it.
