Laura Loomer with Ark of the Covenant replica |
Rumor has it that Trump has a replica of the Ark of the Covenant at his home in Florida. Near as I can make out, it is copy of the prop from the Harrison Ford movie Raiders of The Lost Ark. I dunno, maybe it is the original prop. Another rumor says the replica was on tour and one of the stops it made was at Mar-E-Largo.
I got onto this from a story in Modernity News about a CIA Cold War project to use 'remote viewing' to locate the the original. Criminently, 'remote viewing'? Well, I guess, if you are locked in a life or death struggle with godless commies, and you've got money to burn, sure, go ahead and try some crackpot schemes, see if anything pans out. I mean, how many valuable innovations in weapons and tactics started as a crackpot scheme?
Construction of this replica consumed 2700 hours of labor and six pounds of gold. Gold is currently around $3,000 an ounce. Figuring $100 an hour for labor, means this replica cost around $500 thousand.
I didn't not find any solid information on this, it's all just rumor.

Remote sensing. One method used ground penetrating radar. It gets better; in the early 1980s I read about satellite imaging which found a gold vein in northern Mexico. A ground team verified the find. But that was only a new application of older technology.
