Legend has it that the Ark of the Covenant, which is said to contain the Ten Commandments, has been lost for a long time. However, a recently declassified CIA document from the year 2000 revealed that this sacred artifact was supposedly “found” as early as 1988.
According to the Bible, the Israelites constructed the Ark of the Covenant in the 13th century BC after leaving Egypt, and it was Moses who placed the Ten Commandments inside. The Ark was believed to have been kept in the “Holy of Holies” within the Jerusalem Temple, but mysteriously disappeared after the Babylonians invaded Jerusalem in 586 BC.
The CIA document originated from a classified mission in the 1980s codenamed “Project Sun Streak”, which involved remote viewers who possessed extrasensory perception in detecting distant targets. In the report, a remote viewer known as Viewer 032, without prior knowledge of the mission details, described a underground location in the Middle East containing “golden, silver, wooden containers” based on coordinates, decorated by a “six-winged angel”.
The remote viewer mentioned that the local people spoke Arabic, wore white clothes, and the surrounding buildings resembled domed mosques. In the report, it was written, “This target is related to rituals, memories, reverence, and resurrection… it holds strong spiritual and historical significance and is protected in a way that unauthorized opening of the container would meet undisclosed destructive forces.”
The report also included several sketches depicting domed structures, mummies, wheels, and six-winged creatures called “seraphim”, along with mysterious words like “death”, “taboo”, and “destruction”.
There are various versions of the Ark of the Covenant legend, one of which suggests it was taken to Ethiopia and housed in the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in Aksum. It is said that the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon’s son Menelik brought it back from Jerusalem.
According to the Daily Mail, a British scholar claimed to have seen the Ark inside the church with his own eyes, only to later confirm that it was a replica.
In a recent episode of the podcast “Ninjas are Butterflies”, host Josh Hooper revealed that he was initially skeptical about “Project Sun Streak” until he personally visited the CIA website and came across this declassified document that left him “utterly shocked”.
“I could hardly believe what I was seeing,” he said.
As of now, the actual existence of the Ark of the Covenant remains unconfirmed. However, the exposure of this CIA document has once again stirred global interest and imagination about its whereabouts.
