😃

Did an internet search to check out the above - am reading the works of Josephus, the Old World Jewish historian, but have been researching (in addition) Joseph of Arimethea, the Gnostics, and to many areas of Ancient History to name

The original author of the posting I read on this Board regarding the Ark of the Convenant did an excellent job of answering an apparent query (from whom I do not know).

At any rate - I have printed it out for reference and would like to say thanks!! Very nicely done.
