The Ark of the Covenant and the Search for the Lost Tribes of Israel in America

11/12/2016

20 Comments

 
​I’ve been on a bit of an Ark of the Covenant kick the last couple of days, and I became interested in where people got the idea that the Ark is hidden here in North America. The modern version of the story seems to be a pretty clear-cut version of kitchen-sinking, where fringe writers have simply tossed every possible ancient mystery into the bottomless maw of bad ideas in the hope of glorifying America and reinforcing at least part of what used to be called WASP culture. 
​In looking into this, it didn’t surprise me, for example, that in 2007 former U.S. Nazi party leader Frank Joseph speculated that the Ark could be found here in America. He simply equated the Ark with the Holy Grail and attributed to anonymous “questors” the claim that the Knights Templar brought the magic box here. But I was intrigued that Joseph was drawing on much older speculation and marrying it to the conspiracy theory that Graham Hancock had introduced in 1992’s The Sign and the Seal.
 
This older material pops up in a number of fringe books written in the 1990s and early 2000s, in the wake of the Indiana Jones movies. I am increasingly convinced that the fringe’s interest in the Ark emerged from a conflation of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) and thus with a renewed effort to seek out Biblical mysteries. It can’t be a coincidence that so many of those looking for the Ark describe themselves as a real-life Indiana Jones. Anyway, in some of these books, like Almon Fackrell’s Jesus Christ Visited Ancient America (2013), we find reference to a 1903 book by J. Fitzgerald Lee called The Greater Exodus, in which the author tried to prove that the “Semitic” archaeology of Mexico and Peru proved that humanity was created by God in the Americas, and that the future Jews walked from there to the Middle East. Thus, for him, the Exodus is actually a mistaken abridgement of the true story of walking from America to Asia. In so doing, the author cited a bunch of early reports about Native Americans having an imitation Ark.
 
In turn, we can trace this idea back still farther. Ethan Smith, a clergyman whose work is often said to have inspired Joseph Smith in writing the Book of Mormon, wrote of the Ark in America in his 1823 (second ed., 1825) book View of the Hebrews; or, the Tribes of Israel in America. The book argued that Native Americans were actually descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel, a view that goes back all the way to the early colonizers of the New World. See, for example, Iewes in America by Thomas Thorowgood from 1650, and the Spanish writers before him. Citing a Spanish writer, Thorowgood writes of how the Mexicans preserved stories of the Tabernacle and the Ark. Thus, Smith, who knew of such arguments, produces a section on the Ark of the Covenant, which he claimed inspired imitations in many Native American tribes. “Who can doubt the origin of this Indian custom?” he wrote “And who can resist the evidence that here are the tribes of Israel!”
 
His claims, in turn, derive from still earlier writers from the colonial era, among them James Adair in the History of the American Indians in 1775, and the Continental Congressman and lawyer Elias Boudinot in the 1815 book Star in the West; or, A Humble Attempt to Discover the Long Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. Boudinot, however, was citing Adair, who appears to have originated the claim, and unnamed hearsay from a man who recalled events of 1756 (after Adair’s book was published) to the author in 1815.
 
Here is Adair on the subject:
​The Indians have their prophets, and high priests, the same as the Jews had, not hastily selected, but chosen with caution from the most wise and discreet, and they ordain their high priests by anointing, and have a most holy place in their sanctuaries like the Holy of Holies in the temple. The Archimagus or high priest wears, in resemblance to the ancient breastplate, a white conch shell, ornamented so as to resemble the precious stones in the Urim, and instead of the golden plate worn by the Levite on his forehead, the Indian binds his brow with a wreath of swans feathers, and wears a tuft of white feathers which he calls Yatira. The Indians have their Ark, which they invariably carry to battle with them, well guarded. It is also worthy of notice that they never place the Ark on the ground,—on hilly ground, where large stones are plenty, they rest it thereon, but on level prairies, on short logs, on which they also seat themselves.
​Adair was prone to finding biblical echoes among Native Americans, and was similarly oblivious to the impact that exposure to Europeans and their missionaries had on the populations he discussed, or the power of the biblical bias of Euro-American observers in understanding what was encountered. This was hardly different from many scholars of his era, and it was one of the reasons that Thomas Jefferson excavated a Native American mound in Virginia, in the hopes of providing proof that Native Americans were not actually Lost Tribes. Indeed, Jefferson argued in Notes on the State of Virginia that “the resemblance between the Indians of America and the Eastern inhabitants of Asia, would induce us to conjecture, that the former are the descendants of the latter.” In this, he was soundly ignored by most prominent thinkers of the day, who didn’t like that answer, at least not to the question of who build the Mounds. As long as the Indians were only viewed as recent interlopers, they could live with it.
 
The Mormons (but of course) were excited by the references to the Ark in America, and attempted to find similar accounts that would back up the idea of an American Ark. In a typical article from 1850, Elder William Gibson cited Stephen Harriman Long, who traveled among the Omaha nation in 1819 or so and encountered a large shell that was enveloped in deer skin and treated as a sacred object. It wasn’t a box, Long never claimed it as an Ark, and the rest of the details are unimportant. The point is that the Mormons were happy to imagine that any container or object that was carried and considered holy must be an imitation Ark.
 
In this era, I wasn’t able to find anyone who thought the actual Ark was in America, but the claims, based as they were on the centuries-old fantasy that Native Americans were the Lost Tribes of Israel, seem to have laid the groundwork for modern claims that Biblical treasures can be found here in America. The difference, though, is that the older versions wanted to bring Native Americans into a Biblical framework, while modern versions simply imagine that glorious white adventurers claimed title to America by making it sacred through the introduction of Biblical treasures.

I suspect much of these alleged claims that date back to before the Mormons justifying Joseph Smith and his mysterious gold tablets, and before Indiana Jones and his fictional films, were added ex post facto, and that even this lost tribe of Indians is nothing more than a misrepresented missionary group that like the Spanish who converted the native Americans, were Jews who converted native Americans also, in colonial times.

The dates before 1800 or so are probably up for interpretation.

Also it was probably some kind of way to knock Semites and the natives by making them seem like no they couldn't have come up with similar ideas. They had to have been given them by mysterious others.

Backwardly it is the same mantra as the unlearned who think that because they don't understand something, it must be aliens, because no way could it just be someone else thought of it too.

The ark in America is directly related to Indiana Jones by way of 1930s comic strip serials decades before that, from which Indy is based.

The golden tablet this is directly related to the Mormons. It is not something a lost tribe of Israel would have had.

The Ethiopian colony (Lamba)? that is apparently a lost tribe of Israel is sometimes debunked, when they actually are, while other fringe people think that somehow the native Americans are too. They are only because of missionaries.

Let's see, the Mi’kmaq worshipped Henry Sinclair and the Ojibwa practiced Masonic rites. The Romans were wandering all over Oak Island and the Knights Templar were running mines in Mexico.

The Ark in America? Sure, why not.

Now all someone needs to do is buy some Oreos™ at the closest Exxon, follow the clues, and the Ark can be recovered.

Ah . . . another "GPR survey that conclusively shows what we want to be there but we don't understand the data or even have access to it."

From that website:

"In the summer of 2016, a professional GPR firm conducted a second, more extensive scan of the site. The result and report from this scan is still pending. The analysis is complicated due to a number of factors that has to do with GPR settings for best possible data collection. I also have instructions from the Nova Scotia Communities, Culture and Heritage to keep results confidential until a decision has been taken on how the province will react on a report showing interesting results. The 2016 scan was financed by Paul Lappin and Knut Skofteland. I’m very grateful for their contribution to this project."

The best-case scenario for Biblical artifacts in medieval America would probably stem from such artifacts (and treasure, too), having been dug up from under the Temple Mount hundreds of years after its final destruction.

Leaving aside post-Templar speculations (Sinclair, etc.), it might be considered that Knights Templar may have been the conduit for bringing treasures to America during the time of faraway land explorations and speculations involving Norway, Greenland, Iceland and of course Vinland.

For instance, Scandinavian priests representing both the Catholic Church and Templars may have been interested in mission work a few hundred years before the date of the Kensington Runestone, not unlike the later French, but with the Church interested in claiming land, too.

Though I don't agree with most of Wm Mann's lines of thought--as with Scott Wolter's, I think it is possible that treasure, representing power, may have been brought to America close to the end of the Viking Age, during the Crusades, well before the time of the KRS (1362), and most likely in conjunction with claiming land.

Just speculation here, but I think a great power may have wanted to act to secure the landscape where beginning ocean sources merge in far-inland America. This would be the area around Big Stone Lake and Lake Traverse...near the continental divide by the MN/Dakotas border. A great waterway circle is completed here, hooked together from dwindling oceanic waterways, from Hudson Bay, from the St. Lawrence and from the Gulf of Mexico up the Mississippi. I believe the location is significant enough here that they may have possibly attempted to claim it--possibly along with tokens of buried treasure.

Burying treasure (including "Biblical treasure") in America hundreds of years ago is not out of the question. I speculate that buried treasure could have been considered to help mark the geographical target of an intended New Jerusalem of sorts here in America--though not stemming from Runestone Hill, as Wolter speculates. But, I am talking about an attempt to carve up land and settle from deep in the interior rather than on a typical coastline.

Of course, increased coldness and massive deaths from disease would have severed any already precariously stretched-thin cord back to the Motherland (probably north via Hudson Bay). Any buried treasure would have been forgotten about, along with any notions of claiming land. (Well, except for maybe some potent clues left behind....)

Naw, Jim, the very real Norse Code-stone is probably just indicating the presence of something more ordinary, like maybe a medieval shield giving clues about its prior ownership.

But, if the Catholic Church was involved, and not a Norse Chieftain, for instance, there's no telling what the Fighting Monks may have buried to symbolize a land claim...in this case, a claim possibly involving the Pomme de Terre River, which stretches farthest north into the MN River watershed.

Consider the irony involved here, where 19th century land and water surveyors rather permanently marked-up the same spot. Frankly, I would not have been able to decode the situation on the ridgeline had I not also discovered the somewhat distant (25 paces) Code-stone, which as a "backup" is still showing the arrangement of certain rocks on the ridgeline, in miniature.

This sounds like fantasy, except that the rocks are still there in place--as I've adequately shown, and something is still deeply buried, exactly where both medieval encoding and modern technology are indicating such. I realize this will be a joke until something significant is found, by professional means. It's been difficult trying to get professionals involved, so I will need to be more patient and not as frustrated. At the present time, I know of no other precise spot where something of medieval Norse origination might be found...and in an area already suspected of harboring plenty of other medieval Scandinavian evidences--which are currently being purposely overlooked because of political correctness.

Maybe I should appeal to our new President-elect, an outstanding foe of PC. In the meanwhile, peace to you, Jim.

Exactly, In Cat Stevens song "Longer Boats" he of course, is referring to Viking long-ships
.The Ark of the Covenant is also referenced,, "They'll be taking the key from the door"
"Mary dropped her pants by the sand" deals with the Bloodline of Christ. And of course the last verse ties in the alien aspect.
So I think we have it mostly covered.

Jeezus effing Christ!!! In what culture do you bring treasure TO a faraway land and bury it as a land claim? It's Exploration 101 that you bring treasure FROM faraway lands. The level of retardation here is incredible.

Americanegro, it takes a level of sophistication to consider Power being represented by Treasure while seeking new lands to settle. Historically, treasure--wealth--has been overtly exhibited by the "powerful" to visually stun poor peasants, like you and me. There is no good reason why one shouldn't consider the possibility that a portion of this symbolic indication of wealth and power wouldn't possibly follow along on long-distance land-speculating adventures...especially if the Catholic Church would bear the brunt of a "minor" treasure loss.

The loss of the buried token of wealth and power (through climate change and disease and ensuing forgetfulness) would have been more significant for an individual, which leads me to think that the concept of treasure accompanying long-distance land up-taking may have appealed more to an institution than to an individual.

Americanegro, the buried treasure would have been meant to later on visually establish an identifiable connection between the land being sought and the entity who left the treasure behind...or, perhaps "only" history-treasure behind.

We could be more open-minded about mankind's propensity for being creative, such as this notion of burying wealth to represent a powerful entity might indicate. Peace to you, too.

Just a few afterthoughts. If a bishop in medieval times was an "ordained or consecrated member of the Christian clergy who is generally entrusted with a position of authority and oversight," doesn't it seem odd that a Bishop Erik from Greenland was thought to have visited remote Vinland in 1121? If this might be true, what would it be, then, for a bishop (or a priest) representing the Church, to have also traveled to INLAND America from Hudson Bay--not far from Greenland?

So, speculations about Scandinavians (including clergy) visiting the area where the "Norse Code-stone" was found may not be in vain, after all: If one area of Norse exploration (Vinland) may have been attractive to the Catholic Church, as early as AD 1121, why wouldn't another area of exploration (the strategic place of beginning oceanic waterways merging) also be attractive to the Church, but perhaps in more secrecy?

And then again, we might be seeing in the Norse Code-stone the efforts of a powerful Icelandic chieftain during a time of far-reaching land-hungriness. Who will know, unless and until a professional peek underground is made. (In one small spot, straight down!)

Hi Jason, the recent discovery of the tomb of an ancient Cacique the archaeologists found the Ark of the Covenant in in the tomb. In this video is remarkable footage of the excavation of the ancient tomb and the Ark of the Covenant. This would have to be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the world. This is the video of the Ark of the Covenant found ina tomb in Panama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yE8nddSSp8

The (above) article fails to include James Adair's observation that the Cherokee/ Native Americans also spoke ancient Hebrew. How might the tribe(s) have learned the language? French (speaking) missionaries of the 1600s? The Spanish explorer De Soto, (who spoke spanish)?

On the northeastern corner of Kentucky ancient mines were discovered, and photos of them can be found on the internet. They include at least one booby-trapped mine, thought to be Spanish, perhaps from the 1600s. Also in the general area, are ancient alters for (human) sacrifice that probably date back to a Phoenician practice of sacrifices. That is, the alters are constructed of carved stone in the same manner.

In the 1800s the acredited Smithsonian archeologists excavated an ancient mound in Tennessee, and discovered the "Bat Creek Stone", along with ancient brass arm bands, within an ancient grave. The stone was engraved in ancient Hebrew. I do not recall Adair mentioning that any tribes of his day were wearing brass arm bands. Arm bands, perhaps, but not crafted of brass.

Protected in Manchester, Kentucky is the Red Bird boulder. It contains ancient inscriptions, including the 10 Commandments in ancient Hebrew. It fell from a Cliffside along Red Bird River, on top of which, is said to be a cave, it's walls filled with ancient writings. Some daring and bi-lingual prankster must have been extremely bored if it is to be considered a hoax.

In Newark, Ohio was found the Moses Stone, in the 1800s, and in an ancient burial mound. It, too, was inscribed with the 10 Commandments in ancient Hebrew. I suppose one must wonder if the prankster of Red Bird River also planted the Moses Stone, a state away, for the sheer amusement of hoaxing the public.

Could it be that the same prankster inscribed the New Mexico boulder with the 10 Commandments - in ancient Hebrew?
No, I do not consider myself the Indiana Jones type. I do enjoy reading about history that was, seemingly, suppressed in my public schooling. And, I like learning of interesting finds, especially as they might relate to my Native American heritage.
