The ARK in America?

I am tired of politics. It is just a never ending pile of hype and none sense.

But what I do find interesting, is the upcoming show on the History Channel alleging that the Knights Templar brought the ARK of the Convenient across the seas and hid it in what is now the USA.

This might sound like a pretty far fetched idea, but there is a lot of evidence that puts the Templar's, at least some of them, here in the 1300's, which would be around the time of their expulsion from France

And for those who believe that Columbus discovered America, he didn't. Lots of folks seem to have been here long before him. From the Norse, to the Chinese, ancient America was a busy place.

Aside from all of the Europeans running around over here, there are many tales of others who came.

It also would seem that ancient Hebrew people were here as well. I know, you thought I was going to say space men.

Back in the 1800's, a rock was found in a mound in eastern Tennessee, that many think has ancient Hebrew written on it. Another large rock was found in New Mexico, also with ancient Hebrew written on it. Another oddity found in southern TN were stone coffins, resembling the stone burial boxes of the ancient Hebrews. Over time, arguments have been made both for these being the real deal, and for them being elaborate fakes. Since everything mysterious eventually finds its way into the Smithsonian black hole, we will probably never know for sure.

Another mystery is the Smithsonian itself. They have a warehouse where all the odd artifacts go. Apparently it is a one way ticket. According to them, this warehouse has serious asbestos problems. They say they have no catalog of what is in there, nor is anyone allowed in due to the asbestos. Things go in, and are never seen or mentioned again. Too bad the Stimulus Bill didn't send some money to them to clean the place up.

Another curiosity of the ancient American Southeast were the Yuchi Indians.

Long before the Cherokee moved into the Southeast, it was the land of the Yuchi. From accounts passed down, the Yuchi language was said to be very much like ancient Hebrew. Their creation story said they came form a land far to the east. Their dialect shared nothing with any of the other linguistic groups in the America's.

By the time of the Indian removal, only a handful of the Yuchi remained. When the Cherokee moved into the Southeast, they declared war on the Yuchi, and did a fine job of exterminating them. The few that remained were integrated into other groups during the removal. Today the Yuchi language is considered a dead language.

So this begs the question, did a tribe of Hebrew speaking people come to America and settle? And if they did, could they have brought the ARK with them? And if they did, is it possible that it is still hidden somewhere in America to this day?

There are many who think it is here. How it got here has as many ideas as there are stars in the night sky. There are those who believe it is in England, Scotland, the Middle East, Africa, and on and on. Many ideas share just enough possible evidence to make the theories seem valid. But, it can't be everywhere, now can it?

There is a oral legend that says the ARK was hidden in a cave in east Tennessee up until the Great Depression. The tale goes that when the Tennessee Vally Authority, under FDR, went about to build a dam, the hiding place of the ARK was moved. Where it was taking is just another mystery, to add to all the other mysteries surrounding the ARK.

Is it or was it ever in America? I don't know. But I do find it interesting that an entire race of people that spoke ancient Hebrew, and still existed during colonial times, has virtually been wiped from the history books.

I don't believe in coincidences.
