New Evidence Supports the Ark of the Covenant Being in Ethiopia - Mysterious Universe

Monty Python fan Paul Seaburn covers a Colorado investigative team's claim as to how the Biblical Ark of the Covenant got to its present reputed location in an Ethiopian church. Whether the Bible Archaeology, Search & Exploration (BASE) group has been fooled by local story-tellers is, and likely will forever be, uncertain. But one thing is sure: Pauls article has an extra zero in the date (6540 BCE) for the temple ruins on Elephantine Island in Egypt. Martin J. Clemens describes Arkaim: Russia's Stonehenge, and a Puzzle of the Ancient World. Here's an ill-known and still-enigmatic archaeoastronomical site. Greg Taylor recounts a more recent puzzler in The Arthur's Seat Coffin Doll Mystery: Who Made Them, and Why? Greg conveys the several theories--each of them possessing weaknesses--about these perplexing artifacts. There may never be a resolution to the conundrum Andrew LaSane describes in Archaeologists Baffled By Ancient Bones of Child With a Skull in its Mouth. Well, the child really isn't "ancient" as it "was either buried in the second half of the 18th century or at the turn of the 19th." But several bizarre details of the discovery remain unexplained, including that it occurred in a Polish cave whose other bones came from about 4500 YBP. Perhaps the most spectacular article of an excellent lot is Cave Paintings Reveal How Ancient Humans Understood the Stars. Independently of each other, ice age societies figured out the precession of the equinoxes, as long as 40,000 years ago. David Grossman's short and clear contribution contains some spectacular references. (WM)
