I don't think a movie prop is going to save their economy.

Abzzstain: They would have found it earlier, but they forgot to take back one Kadan to honor the Hebrew god whose ark this is. They were digging in the wrong place!

Used that in a headline once about a guy who got lost and died searching for treasure in the desert southwest. No takers.

/CSB

The article itself didn't sound convinced

FTA:

"According to him, some unexpected results were reported during the excavations"

They based their assertion on the fact that the guy who opened it looked like this:

It belongs in a museum!

Just make sure whoever touches it is grounded. I hear that the Ark poses a pretty serious shock risk.

Well I'll just hold my breath and wait for the followup story.

Huh. So the Ark of the Covenant is real? What's next, the cuirass of Achilles?

Patrick Nice was moderately pleased with his find.

I looked and I saw a girl with the most spectacular breasts you have ever seen

I found a quarter when I was planting flowers in my garden.

rebelyell2006: Huh. So the Ark of the Covenant is real? What's next, the cuirass of Achilles?

Or the cities of Jericho and Troy? lol!

No, they are claiming to have located Alexander the Great's tomb and for some reason think that the Ark of the Covenant is in there. Not sure what explanation they have for making that assumption, I haven't seen anything credible to outsiders to think that it might be there. Ethiopia has a much stronger case and that's not saying much.

NEWS! By some unknown amateur group in a 3rd world country, announced in some unknown Russian blog. Yeah, real credible bunch we got here.

Cewley: tf: i found the holy grail in my backyard.

No thanks, i've already got one. It's very nice.

Maybe they can use this as collateral for more debt?

Or,

Looks like the Nazis are going to get it after all.

The guys that found it were top men. Top. Men.

the_sidewinder: But when will they find the Ark of Truth?

Or the Ark Of Tangent.

You call him Dr. Jones, doll!

meat0918: Wake me when they find the Spear of Longinus

elev8meL8r: The guys that found it were top men. Top. Men.

Well, I guess it's about a 50/50 chance of getting a top in Greece.

Kraftwerk Orange: Just make sure whoever touches it is grounded. I hear that the Ark poses a pretty serious shock risk.


And now we know Erich von Daniken's Fark handle.

Some g00gling turned up

Nice try, Greece. Way to go trying to deflect your issues.

If you find all the arks and put them together you will have a cirkle.

On the next episode of Pawn Stars..... "So Mr. Papadopalopadrealous... You want 412 Trillion Euros. Before I can make you an offer, let me call a buddy of mine who knows about these things and we can find out exactly what it's worth."

Digitalstrange: It belongs in a museum!

Top... men...

They're digging in the wrong place!

I found Noah's Ark. What was left of it, anyway. All those dinosaurs wrecked it real good.

Still no +5 Cars of Flying....

Bith Set Me Up: They're digging in the wrong place!

This happens a lot in Greece, I hear.

meat0918: Wake me when they find the Spear of Longinus


there's two or three currently claimed lances;

one in the vatican(though they make no claim to its authenticity), one in vienna(which actually does have a iron rod in it that dates back to the 1st century AD as i recall hearing), and another in paris.

the viennese one has been really heavily examined, publicly, by skeptics who date the spear itself to the 7th century, but the nail set into it is consistent with 1st century origins.

the ones in the vatican and in paris may likely be parts of the same lance.

Old_Chief_Scott: I'm sure that they have top men working on this right now.

Top.

Men.

In the porn version of Raiders of the Lost Ass, do they say, "I'm sure they have bottom men working on this right now. Bottom. Men." ?

I like to think it went like this. "It would be funny to play a joke on people for the next few thousand years. They would have to be dumb though. "

Spirits: "You guys can totally look. We're all leaving now."

Lol, and metafysiko means exactly what I thought it meant: that this story is complete horseshiat invented by New Agers. Their "proof" that this is Alexander's tomb is that some crazy crystal rubbing coont dreamt it?

Is it being handled by top men?

Bad dates...

WIN!
