Ancient Aliens Made The Ark of The Covenant - And we know where! it is. they are god.

medinat habu. is the massive mortuary temple ramasees the third left in history as the monument to his memory professor Muhammad Saleh has offered to guide Sanders around the site all what he had done had been recorded on the walls of this temple in details Barama the third was a great king he ruled Egypt for 31 years and some days we have here some scenes showing the king bringing captives from Asia the people in the middle are asking the king and God for mercy and the king is putting them under his feet all those faces are fascinating because each one has different racial characters yes the Egyptians were very good anatomists yes ramasees the third was one of the last great warrior pharaohs of ancient Egypt his reign was a constant chronicle of invasion and conflict with Egypt's neighbors these conquests would have brought colossal riches to Egypt and one particular prize seems to be recorded on the temple wall I'm here in the one of the inner chambers of the mortuary temple of Ramses the third and the most exciting for me most interesting part is this wall where there is a golden box and it's being carried on golden poles and above that golden box is a solar representation with wings and it doesn't take too much of a stretch of the imagination to see that that golden box was the Ark of the Covenant carried just as the Bible says on two golden poles and above its winged cherubim exactly like the cherubim in the Bible according to the Bible the Ark of the Covenant was crowned with two winged creatures known as cherubim and every single pillar down this corridor every one of them has this representation of two winged creatures exactly like the cherubim on top of the Ark of the Covenant Sanders acknowledges that such images are not uncommon in Egyptian antiquity but the sheer quantity of the symbols that Medinet Habu sent a special message as one here one here one over there further down extra ones this whole chamber seems to somehow be dedicated and representing where Rama sees the third obtained his treasure and obtained the ability to build probably the most magnificent temple in all of Egypt but medinat habu was built during the final years of Rama's reign the looting of Jerusalem had taken place much earlier so the holy stones are unlikely to be buried here convinced that he has evidence of who took the ark and a record of its capture Sounders now needs to identify a temple site that matches the plunder of Jerusalem once again the ancient records are scoured for fresh Clues written by his sons the so called Harris papyrus is a journal of ramasees the Third's achievements his triumphs in battle and his great works at home amid the heroic narrative one anomaly had gone almost unnoticed what stood out to me was the fact that ramasees the third had built a temple outside of Egypt which is not a normal occurrence for the Egyptian kings in a place called la keep a cannon and there was another clue the papyrus reveals that this unusual temple was built by Rama seized the third at the site where he had received a consignment of treasure or tribute from the kingdom of Judah for the Egyptian King to build a temple outside of his domain purposefully just to receive the tribute it must have been a massive tribute and according to Saunders the most likely source for this massive tribute was the greatest treasure described in the Bible the wealth of Solomon's Temple and the Ark of the Covenant with a candidate for the temple identified Sanders needed to find the modern location of the temple at Jahi Buckhannon very simply I had asked my wife to go to The Times atlas of the world look in the index and see if there was any valley vjh I anywhere in the index and she comes back to me she says well there is a the hariya that looks similar djh I will that do I said - well absolutely let's let's find out where this place is at which points amazingly my hairs the back of my head jumped up because the area on the Atlas was it exactly the spot where an Egyptian king would stop his armies if he were marching from Egypt to Jerusalem the haria was a natural place for an army to halt and regroup ahead the terrain changed dramatically from flat desert to high hill passes and narrow valleys where an invading force would be vulnerable garrisoned here it would also be the logical place for them to build a temple if Sanders hunch is right the ancient temple built by Rama seized the third and mentioned in the harris papyrus should be located in the village of the haria in modern Israel if the temple is there the foundation deposits of the temple would still be there and the stones may very well be found in the temple deposits in that village but the battles of the Holy Land do not just belong to Bible history the haria is situated on the Middle East's most active political fault line the West Bank this particular area has only recently been handed over by Israel to the Palestinian Authority satisfying biblical curiosity is not high on the Harriers priorities sanders has teamed up with israeli guide Avner Peled to negotiate the political minefield of present-day the area there's the center the hurryin look on the right this is the road the Egyptians would have taken they would have walked of this road and they come across these hills for the first time having come out of the desert shalom pocket of krishna diarrhea jamie push bellies furnish um the daria telegram i you don't know what's going to happen in the rear why is the checkpoint in sutures this is the border this is the border between us and the palestine area this bit here so the north is palestine we still have the authorities the military sir yes we take that road you can but you say that you don't know what if something can happen or not we're near israeli curves i don't feel they're safe enough Mike you are my guest here and it's quite dangerous for me as Israeli it would be better to take their bike as well Sanders is disappointed Avner has decided that it's not safe for them to travel on to the area because his car has his Rayleigh number place the security situation is volatile their very presence could provoke a riot a change of car a change of guide Sanders is back on his way to the area but this time with an Arab companion Samia Kubb from the Palestinian Ministry of Antiquities and archaeology the ministry have given permission for Sanders to carry out a preliminary survey in Tahrir but they can't guarantee his safety while he's there the children still stone cars we hope they won't stone us but in any adventure there's some danger I am one has to face that this is much too important a quest to worry about any dangers that might be though we are just in the inference of the oh yes look there's the sign no sign today we are after all this time I think we have to look for the center of the old town and you know what that is yes yes because how many people live here now about 18,000 people that's it's a bustling little town there's a good market here for the Bedouins who are coming up on the south yes everybody comes from the desert the first place they come to is that area so that hasn't changed in 3,000 years in fact a lot has changed the village of history is now a modern town development may well have smothered the foundations of a ruined temple here if Rama sees the third really was Shishak if his temple was here and if it did hide the stones from the Ark of the Covenant the proof after all these years may be buried too deep for Sanders to discover I think that's all we can't like the car here here I'm speechless as Sanders explores the area his conviction grows that waha RIA was a logical place for the Egyptians to build a temple so the Egyptian army would come from the south here though this temple and it overlooked the whole of the Hebrides as far as the Uyghurs wonderful place to pretend but there's also evidence for Sanders theory some of the building stones stand out from the others its holes look at the how nicely squared off that is there's one over there with holes here look at how nicely squared off that is there's one over there with holes there's one here with holes and then there's all this other rubbish look look at this different very nice pieces look finish the finish on here yes it's perfectly shaped perfectly straight on the edges against look at all the all this other stuff but they built ordinary fortresses with I mean this is what they use to build fortresses they they spent a lot of time and effort in cutting that stone they didn't you don't spend a lot of time and effort cutting stones for these hovels or for for fortresses this is being taken from a very very nice building there was a special building for you everywhere Saunders looks he finds the random remnants of an older and more carefully constructed building I mean this lintel for example is obviously much older was cut a lot earlier and was broken before it was actually put into place nuts yeah massive rusty yeah this is relief look somebody's carved this and this one there the unusual decorations and well-cut blocks of stones scattered amongst the ruins convinced sanders that a grander more impressive building once stood here I don't think we can get see with any of the stones or Egyptian but they're certainly older than this building when he came to the haria Sanders main worry was that there'd be nothing left of any ancient buildings now he finds he has the opposite problem with a plethora of ruins how will he ever find the foundations of one ancient Egyptian temple beneath so much rubble Jerusalem is the center for archaeological research in the Holy Land here if anywhere Sanders will find the information that might help him narrow his search for the temple in the turmoil of recent years more stones have been thrown than excavated in the area around four haria but when Sanders researched the records he found that archaeologists had once been busy there more than a hundred and sixty years ago a Victorian explorer Edward Robinson traveled through the area and described seeing the ruin of an ancient fortress like Tower Sanders hadn't seen any such ruin on his visit to the town but could Robinson have seen the remains of ramasees ancient temple the tower was described as having one distinctive feature in its lower courses was a huge well cut nine-foot stone at the Hebrew University Sanders enlists professor Benjamin cutter to narrow down the search for the temple ruins well all I can say is that the oldest photograph shows you exactly where the village was 80 years ago but what interests you of course is a view of the high part of that village which is here the likely place of the castle the ruins of which Robinson's oh and the survey mentions and I'd say that would should be looked for here in this area a map a dream and the clue of a nine-foot block of stone together tomorrow they could lead Sanders to the stones on which the Ten Commandments were inscribed Sanders has returned to the hariya aiming to locate the distinctive nine-foot stone which he believes will be the clue to finding the ancient Egyptian temple of Ramses the third finding one stone in a large town isn't easy but after asking several locals if they know of its location at last he finds someone who does perhaps he would know where that the nine-foot long stone is the big sir we want to know where the biggest stone of all the villages were this alyc we see handful mebiner haven't cut him off with academia shark a military man pulled her telemetry honey can you see me I want to transfer it now he is talking that he thinks that it will be in there Hassan has a mean means in English fortifications he says a number it's about three thousand years ago good now where is it let's cook we want to go and see it where is it he thinks that's over there and there's a side of this town he may be forming signs so I can give it this one it's quite large that's something no it's not enough speak there's a nice large cut stone here but not 9-foot ah we're not looking for the 9-footer you see this came for a different building look look at this please came from a different look look here we go so here we go yes there it is finding the nine-foot stone is an exciting discovery but for Sanders it's real significance is that it should mark the location of the ancient Egyptian temple built by ramasees the third this war is is absolutely incredible in comparison to the rest of the village everything else has been reused why because it's practical for builders to reuse small blocks of stone when you're building a house when you're building a fortress you build in normal sized blocks it's only when you build something that is dedicated to a God that has some special spiritual significance that you use something out of the ordinary and there there is a nine foot plus block of stone nobody in their right mind would spend time taking that block and putting it in their house or putting it in a fortress why bother you can by the time you've it's taken you to move that block of stone you could have built four or five courses of a fortress so it's only when you're building something absolutely special that you would use such stones and they're obviously in the original position nobody's ever moved them they were built especially for this building and this is not a fortress this is this is something special this is it now this well maybe this was put on later this is rubbish that's a all right this is where it was one of the corners of the original building the place where the small foundation tablets would be buried is accessible and the wonderful wonderful wonderful thing about this is nobody has touched it that since it was built I see nobody has removed that stone if this was built by an Egyptian there will be a foundation deposit under that I never believed that we would find this wool it was like looking for a needle in a haystack I was I mean I I tried to appear optimistic but looking around I thought this no way are we gonna find this this building but here it is it's clean its pristine it's easy we can do anything we want with it we will know it's a miracle but finding the cornerstone is only half the battle Sanders needs official permission to deed at present he can only examine the ruins without disturbing them next day Sanders has an appointment with the Minister for antiquities and archeology he's the only man who can give them the vital permission to dig under the cornerstone time is an approximate commodity in the Middle East it's a two-hour wait before Sanders learns that the minister is too busy to see him come back in two days Sanders makes use of the delay to revisit the haria with him is geophysicist Yuri Besson and the latest subsurface radar scanning technology this will enable them to look for a telltale cavity under the wall without any digging this bottom corner is where I think a foundation deposit may lie so we need your advice in your health how do we find out whether there's a cavity below that corner we have to clean a little bit especially to take the metal metal out of here because the signal is affected from metals it is even good that we have this kind of slope that this ground is sloping in this way because we want to look in an 18 angle just underneath the wall yes okay so it is perfect let's do it okay we are ready Oh a marketer Cornell are we proceed now okay we'll finish this profile let's go to the point that I think that something is found there sure yeah something you think this is the location you see the turn here curvature here I see evidence too strong anomaly which can be a cavity it's located only two point three meters from our start position which is here just keep in mind that this results our initial and we did not do any sophisticated signal processing but still we see major anomaly here the anomaly could be a cavity but its location doesn't fit Sanders theory it's a few meters away from the cornerstone where any foundation deposit should be buried maybe there be a clearer picture when Yuri goes back to the lab to process the data in greater detail confident that there is at least something to dig for Sammy and Sanders go back for their delayed meeting with the minister we have to go to the museum so we savvy knows the way yes we could go the minister has been called out on pressing business Sanders and Samy give chase to the museum where they hope to catch him but by the time they arrive the Minister has already left for his next engagement abandoning the futile pursuit of officialdom Sanders goes to see a fury has got any more detailed results from the radar scans like I think I have a little surprise for you look we found a second anomaly it looked as if it is a cavity just underneath the corner under the car under under the corner of the corneas exactly where they used to put foundation it was um this is the anomaly that we saw in the field and underneath which was underneath about 2.5 meters at a depth of about 1.5 1.6 meters but after our poses the data at the office all of a sudden this anomaly came up unless okay and the depth of the anomaly is roughly about three meters and it might be cavity is there any way of determining if there are any objects in that cavity no that's not possible because it's too deep for this frequency to receive very detailed information having discovered a cavity in exactly the right place for a foundation deposit but still with our permission to excavate Sanders sets about tracing the other corners of the ancient ruin but thousands of years of destruction and rebuilding have taken their toll the other corners of the original building have almost certainly been lost forever as his investigations continue Sanders finds he's not the only one curious about what lies beneath the ruins the rumor today of course around the village is that we're looking for gold and there are 19 thousand people in this village and if the rumor becomes more than a rumor in their own minds we may actually have the largest excavation team of all time that'll clear all this away for us without us doing anything they can look for gold we're looking for just a small plaque or a broken plaque and a couple of scarabs and maybe a cartouche and hopefully a cartouche Aramis is the third because I believe that this temple and I believe it's really and an Egyptian temple was built by ramasees the third at last sanders and sammy get to see the elusive minister how do we get out of here nonsense stupid buggers where did he find such a lot we can't do any procedures procedures no scanning no procedures we had permission and he said well it started to do with with the political establishment whatever they want who cares there's a law there's an antiquities law we need to make an application we got to have a scientific institution we're gonna have financial backing what we want to do is dig three inches to find the financial foundation deposits they want to make a big issue areas the midea the director you know that he is my he is my boss and I can't do nothing I have to accept his orders to just to continue filming and not for digging I am NOT angry with that we can't clear the rubbish but we can make lots of applications we can write lots of forms we can work with beers at University and there's nothing we can do today like so many other archaeologists working in this politically difficult area Sanders has been frustrated just as he is on the brink of a breakthrough he has found the remains of a massive and ancient structure one whose quality is quite distinct from others around it and there's a tantalizing cavity under one of the corners which points to the wall having been built by ancient Egyptians if the cavities do contain any Egyptian foundation deposits he will have proof of a new previously unknown Egyptian temple built outside Egypt a major advance in the scholarship of the region I'm absolutely convinced that if the two cavities are open we will find evidence that Rama sees the third built that temple whether the Bible's Ten Commandments lie buried here no one can say but the trail of clues unearthed by Saunders has brought him so far and revealed so much that he feels convinced that he's on the right track I can't give up with too close to what could be the most important discovery of our generation Mike Sanders is still trying to persuade the Palestinian authorities to give him permission to excavate under the cornerstone whatever is in that underground cavity is too intriguing a mystery to remain a secret forever you
