PALM BEACH, Florida – Has the biblical Ark of the Covenant, the golden box containing the Ten Commandments, been found?
After countless years of speculation, not to mention the 1981 blockbuster Harrison Ford film “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” resurfaced declassified documents claim the CIA located the holy relic in the Mideast with psychic and ESP help as part of an experimental, secret project called “Sun Streak” in the 1980s.
PROJECT SUN STREAK
This was the CIA’s attempt to locate the Ark of the Covenant using remote viewers in 1988. (88)
The viewer they used claimed to have found it. It’s was being guarded underground by entities in the Middle East.

The Ark of the Covenant was created in Old Testament times when God instructed Moses to create the container, which holds not only the stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were written with the finger of God, but also a jar of manna and Aaron’s rod that miraculously sprouted blossoms and almonds.
The New York Post reports: “In a remote viewing session on Dec. 5, 1988, remote viewer #32 was tasked with identifying a target that, unbeknownst to them, ended up being the storied Ark of the Covenant, according to document, which was declassified on Aug. 8, 2000, and has been circulating on social media.
“Logistically, when a remote viewer is tasked with searching for a target, the desired object is written down on a piece of paper and put into an envelope. The remote viewer does not know what is written and is guided through the process by another person, retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Joe McMoneagle explained.”

The paper continued:
“Information collected under this protocol is the only information that can be identified as remote viewing,” McMoneagle said.
McMoneagle, aka remote viewer #1, was the first to do the psychic phenomena experiments for the CIA – and he is not convinced by the exercise memorialized in the declassified document.
Remote viewer #32’s vision described a secret Middle Eastern location of the object – which they don’t know is the Ark – but they say is “protected by entities,” the document reveals.
“Target is a container. This container has another container inside of it. The target is fashioned of wood, gold and silver … similar in shape to a coffin and is decorated with seraphim,” they relayed, per the file.
“Visuals of surrounding buildings indicated the presence of Mosque domes,” they said, adding that Arabic-speaking men, dressed in all white, populated the area.
“The target is hidden – underground, dark and wet were all aspects of the location of the target,” they continued.
“The purpose of the target is to bring a people together. It has something to do with ceremony, memory, homage, the resurrection. There is an aspect of spirituality, information, lessons and the historical knowledge far beyond what we now know.”
Remote viewer #32 then expounded on the more mysterious aspects of what they saw.
“The target is protected by entities and can only be opened by those who are authorized to do so – this container will not/cannot be opened until the time is deemed correct. Once it is time to open the container – the mechanics of the lock system will be found to be fairly simple,” they said before adding a warning to potential plunderers.
“Individuals opening the container by prying or striking are destroyed by the container’s protectors through the use of a power unknown to us.”
The channeler also described what they took to be a devotional aspect of the object.
“The purpose of the target is to bring people together. It has something to do with ceremony, memory, homage, the resurrection. There is an aspect of spirituality, information, lessons and historical knowledge far beyond what we now know,” they said.
As WorldNetDaily reported in 2003, relic hunter Ron Wyatt said he actually saw the Ark in the 1980s after tunneling through a small passageway, buried below the purported site where Jesus Christ was crucified at Mount Moriah in Jerusalem.
Wyatt died of cancer in 1999 after years of searching for biblical antiquities, claiming to have found Noah’s Ark near Mount Ararat in Turkey, the remains of Pharaoh’s chariots that chased Moses through the Red Sea, and the “true” location of Mount Sinai in Arabia.
“I just want to know the truth, whatever it is,” said Richard Rives, president of Wyatt Archaeological Research in Cornersville, Tennessee, which spearheaded an effort to hunt for the Ark 22 years ago.
That search effort reignited debate over whether or not the Ark is even located there, since many theories have sprouted concerning the container’s whereabouts.
Some claim it’s currently in Ethiopia, having been brought there after a visit to Solomon’s Temple by the ancient Queen of Sheba. Others have suggested the box is hidden in Spain, Canada, Elephantine Island in Egypt, the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm and even somewhere in America near Utah.
The Bible’s final mention of the Ark recounts King Josiah’s order to return the chest to the temple: “Put the Holy Ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders.” (2 Chronicles 35:3)
Spiros Zodhiates, editor of the Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible, expounds on the Ark’s possible fate subsequent to that verse.
“It may have been carried away by [Babylonian King] Nebuchadnezzar along with the other saved articles, when he plundered the temple,” Zodhiates writes.
“Since no reference is made to the Ark by Ezra, Nehemiah or even [Roman historian] Josephus after the capitivity, it is believed that there was no Ark in the second temple and that the Holy of Holies [where the Ark was situated in the temple] stood empty.”
Biblical scholar and modern-day relic hunter Mike Sanders, who has gained notoriety with his Biblical Mysteries programs, believes the original Ark was destroyed by a different pagan king, and a replica was constructed to replace it.
“The Ark was certainly taken by the Egyptian King Shishak,” Sanders told WorldNetDaily. “There were obviously subsequent copies made as there were of all the other temple accoutrements which were also looted many times over the centuries. This has enabled the myth makers to come up with many wild and wonderful scenarios.”
Sanders believes the Ark’s contents – the stone tablets etched by God with the Ten Commandments – are located in the foundation deposit of an Egyptian temple he discovered in the Judean hills.
“Hopefully we will extract the contents live on the Internet and on television sometime early next year when the situation in Israel is somewhat safer,” he says.
Sanders is among those critical of Wyatt’s assertions about the Ark.
“When he was alive, I spent some time asking him questions and asking for evidence [regarding] his claims. None was ever forthcoming to me or anyone else,” Sanders said. “In those areas where I have done some investigations, he has proven to be a charlatan.”
Just days before his death, Wyatt granted an interview to WorldNetDaily, and addressed such criticism from his detractors.
“There’s nothing [that] can be done to prevent ridicule that I’m aware of,” Wyatt said. “I don’t think it would be appropriate to deny people the opportunity of using ridicule because I think that’s part of showing their true character.”
During the interview, Wyatt explained he found an earthquake crack directly below the place where the wood on which Jesus was crucified would have been. The cleft extends down through the rock to the resting place of the Mercy Seat representing God’s throne atop the Ark of the Covenant. The blood of Christ would have flowed through that crevice after his death and after his side had been pierced by a soldier’s spear.
The Bible teaches the concept of sacrifice of animals, symbolic of the actual blood sacrifice Christ would make. The act of Christ, regarded by some as the great High Priest, permitting himself to be sacrificed and placing his own blood upon the Mercy Seat was the great and final act in the process of blood sacrifice, according to Wyatt’s writings.
And while Wyatt believed the Ark itself would never be moved from its current location, he thought the laws of God inside it would eventually be removed and put on display as a testimony to the world.
“This last revelation is for the inhabitants of the Earth who don’t have a clue, as well as for those of us who do have a clue and have been commissioned by Christ to reach out to help bring these people who don’t have a clue into the fold,” Wyatt told WorldNetDaily.
“So these are tools that God has given the believers to strengthen their faith and to reach out with. They are tools that will be extremely effective in these the last pouring out to the entire population, all inhabitants of the Earth.”
Rives says from a biblical standpoint, it makes perfect sense the Ark would be located where Wyatt claimed and be covered with Christ’s own blood.
“What’s important about the Ark is what’s inside of it – the Ten Commandments, the Covenant,” said Rives.
While many people talk about sin in the modern world, Rives points out the Bible defines sin as breaking the law recorded on the tablets inside the Ark.
“For sin is the transgression of the law.” (1 John 3:4)
“The first four Commandments teach us who our Creator is and how he wants us to worship Him,” said Rives. “There’s an adversary, Satan. He wants to be God if he can get us to break those first four Commandments. Many aspects of religion today are in violation of the first four Commandments.”
