You…you…you dupe of the Secret Nazi Frogmen, you! <SLAPS Meme Chose With A Wet Trout>

I’ve long head the rumor that the eye in the floating pyramid on the back of a dollar bill belongs to a sasquatch, but never believed it, because it seems to have a well groomed eyebrow, and mostly because, even a sasquatch’s peering eye looking out of a floating pyramid would be much smaller relative to the pyramid. however I never considered that the floating pyramid was filled with other creatures besides sasquatches, which possibly explains the mysterious eye, and why it is so large. It isn’t a stretch to assume that one of those pyramid beasts Meme Chose mentioned was an enormous cyclops?
It could be a cyclops, but…
Giant eye… Giant eye… Where have I seen that before…
OMG! The pyramid contains Sauron! Why else would our coins be round? Round like a ring! The Lord of Barad-Dur runs America!
1st, JillGat’s link is goofy. Original article: What happened to the Ark of the Covenant?
Which spawned 3 followups linked by JillGat.
Yes, we definitely don’t want to get confused between Noah’s Trunk and The Boat of the Covenant.

Someone might quibble here. But typically Christians accept that premise, so carry on.

Cite that the Ark of the Covenant generated power?
Interesting proposal, assuming there was a device. Certainly it is thought that Moses got his monotheism idea from an Egyptian cult. Cite for the device being built by the Egyptians?
Cite?
Suspected by whom? Archeologists? Transcendental Meditationists? Some kooks on the internet who huff paint?
Could it be that the Ark was really used to carry pixie dust mined from deep in the mines of Mordor?
“Somewhere on the internet” is not a proper citation. It is your claim, you provide us with links to the page/pages that support the assertions you are making.

Why? Because it is so ridiculously stupid that it can’t be true? Ever read Erich von Danniken, or Zachariah Sitchin? Ever heard of homeopathy? This is the internet. I could propose that clouds are really marshmallows that haven’t falled to Earth yet and somebody would believe me.
These types of tales aren’t new.
I caught part of a ‘documentary’ on the History Chanel the other day where ‘experts’ were claiming that the Ark of the Covenant contained a tiny nuclear reactor used to power the mana machine. Funny stuff.
They haven’t fallen yet because they’ve been confused by the Illuminati, and they now think that they can fly.
If, by the other day, you mean April 1st, then I get it!
Wasn’t there one acouple of years ago about the Earth actually being flat?
mlees, which comment was that in response to? I mean, I only said “Cite?” four times in that post (plus a couple others with other words included).
Doesn’t matter. I’m aware these kinds of claims have been made before - I referred to two proponents in my own post. The point wasn’t to see that some nutjob somewhere actually said those things, the point was to *evaluate the merits *of the source. Wiki pages on discredited notions does not do much to support the statements made here.
Sorry. You are correct in that my links do not support the claims made by Jim Simpson.
For some reason, my attention and focus narrowed down to this statement (and only this statement) by you:
There are several authors who suggest the posibilty of old cultures possessed various “knowledge” from even more ancient cultures. For example, the ability of the megalith builders to move blocks of stone a hundred tons or more (something that would still be a challenge today).
My personal favorite is a geologist who claims that there appears to be weathering patterns on the Great Sphynx that suggests it may have been carved in a much older time period than is generally accepted today. (See “Water Erosion Debate” on the wiki entry for the Sphynx.)
My purpose in providing links was not to furnish unchallengable proof of any kind, but to suggest potential parrallels to the uncited suggestions made my Jim Simpson. In other words, it’s non-mainstream authors like Graham Hancock or Erich von Daniken that could be potential sources of the [his] assertions.
I apologise for “butting in” on your discussion with Jim Simpson.
Further explaination:
Folks who believe that the Ark of the Covenant may have had some (non-divine) power source within it usually are attracted to the type of material I was referring to in my post above.

Yes, I am aware that there are numerous sources for these various ideas. My point was that Jim Simpson is making a claim, it is not for me to assume his source, it is for him to show me his source. I can’t evaluate the evidence for his claim if I don’t know which evidence he is using.
