Mysterious and Mighty Magical Weapons of the Ancients - Mysterious Universe

Here's a substantive piece that's likely to add considerably to what you knew about the Biblical Ark of the Covenant, plus legends that have accrued to that artifact down through the ages. And Brent Swancer doesn't stop there, adding to this study the Spear of Destiny, the Staff of Moses, the Indian Vajra, and the amazing Muramasa swords. Jason Colavito has noted a dip, and now an actual dearth, in one popular segment of current archaeology, asking Where Are All the Fringe History Writers This Fall? Along the way we learn of the poverty of original thought Jason discerns in Erich von Daniken's 50th anniversary edition of Chariots of the Gods and Jason's own personal "implant" story. Well, one new "Fringe History" story is that an Historian Claims a Tiny Atlantic Rock is Actually the Tip of Atlantis. Paul Seaburn sketches how a disappointing piece of real estate (given its all-inclusive name "Rockall," one would think it were far grander than it is) has been connected to that fabulous, lost, and most likely fictional ancient civilization. This latest Atlantis claim, however, has not avoided Jason Colavito's withering scrutiny, as he'd already disposed of it earlier in Dissecting This Past Weekend's Faulty Claims about Ancient History. There Colavito also seems a bit hard on some of Brent Swancer's recent articles, taking them more seriously than Brent may have intended. (WM)
