In The Ark, author N.R. Castle tells the story of prospector Jake Jagow, who traverses the globe in search of undiscovered riches, particularly gold. His search leads him to a mountain in Mexico, where he is astounded by a spectacular sight and the discovery of an artifact which leaves him speechless. He is thrilled to report this discovery to his longtime friend Dr. Bill Messenger, a retired professor of archaeology who has dedicated his retirement to studying dig sites and conducting research on other locations that have been, or are now being, excavated.
Bill is rather surprised by how much the artifact resembles The Ark of the Covenant, a holy Biblical item he has been researching for a friend. Inside is a crystal skull and a cloth which looks a lot like an aluminum foil sheet, but made of the hardest material he has ever seen. Additionally, there is a stunning headpiece covered with jewels.
Things take a sharp turn as Bill reaches out and inserts both hands into the dents on the sides of the now glowing skull. A voice thunders from within, proclaiming itself to be the repository of all divine knowledge. This terrifying incident is unlike anything Jake and Bill have ever experienced, and it marks the beginning of a plethora of knowledge that fundamentally alters the way they think about the cosmos, creation, evolution, history, and the future.
Here, readers become privy to previously unheard-of facts, such as the fact that the Bible is based on the Sumerian archives of an ancient society. Some deeply layered ideas, which will fascinate the author’s intended audience include the fallacies of the modern man, the return of the Ark of the Covenant to the world in the future, and the existence of the Atlanteans on Earth, who possessed advanced technology and equipment which is still unmatched by modern man.
The Ark is a thought-provoking work which explores fascinating ideas about creation. It changes how one views the Bible and fosters an appreciation for its history. I heartily recommend this book to anybody searching for answers to the unsolved mysteries surrounding the origins of humanity and the existence of extraterrestrial life. With such a wealth of material to mine from regarding ancient civilizations and beyond, this is a great place to start to scope out the possibilities.
