Full description for The Templars and the Ark of the Covenant

  • According to legend the Ark of the Covenant was an ornate golden chest that was both a means of communicating with God and a terrible weapon used against the enemies of the ancient Israelites. In order to use it, the high priest had to wear a breastplate containing twelve sacred gemstones called the Stones of Fire. These objects were kept in the Great Temple of Jerusalem until they vanished following the Babylonian invasion in 597BCE At the ancient ruins of Petra in southern Jordan, Graham Phillips uncovered evidence that the 13th Century Templars found the Ark and the Stones of Fire and that they brought them back to central England when they fled the persecution of the French king Philip the Fair a century later. The author followed ciphered messages left by the Templars in church paintings, inscriptions and stained glass windows to what may well be three of the Stones of Fire. When examined by Oxford university scientists, these stones were found to possess odd physical properties that interfered with electronic equipment and produced a sphere of floating light similar to ball lightning. The Bible asserts that the Ark had the power to destroy armies and bring down the walls of cities. Now Graham Phillips provides scientific evidence that these claims may be true and offers compelling documentation that the Ark may be located in the English countryside, not far from Stratford-upon-Avon.
