Prof. Finds Drum of the Covenant
March 6th, 2008 by Menachem Wecker
Brittani Hamm reports for RNS (via Beliefnet) about Indiana Jones-like professor Tudor Parfitt, who thinks the Ark of the Covenant is a drum, which he has found in a Zimbabwe warehouse.
Parfitt hopes “the discovery will end some of the tension between Jews and Muslims,” but Hershel Shanks, editor of the Biblical Archaeological Review, cautions, “Many scholars regard his claims with a very jaundiced eye.”
