The Ark of Gabriel: Unearthing an Ancient Secret Weapon
Pope Francis’s meeting with the Patriarch Kirill? Russian ships found docking at Arabic ports? What could possibly be so important that would bring religious entities who haven’t met in 1,000 years, together? Some believe they know the answer: to move the Ark of Gabriel from the Grand Mosque in Mecca, to a secret base in Antarctica where it could be safely kept.
What is the Ark of Gabriel?
Not to be confused with the Ark of the Covenant, which houses the two stone slabs of the Ten Commandments, the Ark of Gabriel, which is not mentioned in the Christian Bible, is a mysterious device, a secret weapon that many people are only beginning to learn about. Its legend has been perpetuated by the havoc it has wreaked over the centuries, as well as its potential to be unleashed upon the world.
This legend is said to have ties to both the Christian and Islamic faiths in that Archangel Gabriel is sacred to both — he foretold the birth of Jesus and dictated the entirety of the Koran to the Prophet Muhammed.
When the Roman Catholic Crusaders pillaged Constantinople in 1204, the Eastern Orthodox Church was able to squirrel away the contents of a manuscript from the Hagia Sophia Cathedral, titled “Gabriel’s Instructions to Muhammed.” The document details the message that the archangel gave to Muhammed in a cave near the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It tells of a box — an ark — that holds a “tremendous power” and belongs only to God. This ark was forbidden to be used until the “Resurrection Day,” and until then, buried in an altar within “the place of worship of angels before the creation of man.”
Signifying the End of the World
To the followers of Islam,“the place of worship of angels before the creation of man” could be no place other than Mecca — the holy city where all devout Muslims must attempt a hajj, a yearly five-day pilgrimage, at least once in their lifetimes. And it is here that the Ark of Gabriel was said to be buried, beneath the Grand Mosque, quietly waiting for the end of the world.
But due to the ever-growing influx of pilgrims coming to pray at the Grand Mosque, the structure has had to continually expand to keep up. During such construction efforts, a crew of laborers purportedly discovered the Ark of Gabriel that had been secreted away for over a thousand years. The consequences were severe: On Sept. 11, 2015, a crane fell, causing 107 casualties, including the 15-man crew, and injuring as many as 238.
The conspiracy alleges that, as a cover-up, the spokesman for the Presidency of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet Mosque attributed the so-called accident to “a strong sandstorm, winds and torrential rains.” Why? A report that’s claimed to belong to the Russian Ministry of Defense says it was on this day that the construction crew attempted to remove the Ark, and it states that the workers were killed by a plasma emission that spewed up from the ground with such vengeance that it knocked over the massive crane.
Twelve days later disaster struck again, this time three days into the hajj, when millions had gathered from across the world to worship in Mecca, slaughtering at least 2,400 worshippers. The cause? A stampede of people whose origins have yet to be explained. However, many people believe it was another plasma emission, made after a second attempt to unearth the Ark.
What Do the Russians, the Pope, and the Patriarch Kirill Have to Do With The Ark of Gabriel?
In December 2015, Russian naval warships were seen docking in Jeddah, a key Saudi Arabian port city, not far from Mecca.
Shortly after the second grave accident, Grand Mosque emissaries decided they wouldn’t take anymore chances. They reached out to Patriarch Kirill, knowing not only that the Church was in possession of “Gabriel’s Instructions to Muhammed,” but that the instructions likely contained information on how to safely approach the Ark.
Two months later, the heads of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church met for the first time in 962 years, where it’s thought that the Pope gave the Patriarch Kirill the vital information that had been missing from the manuscript stolen at the Hagia Sophia in 1204. Immediately after their meeting, the Patriarch Kirill voyaged to Antarctica himself, to allegedly perform a ritual, using the ancient documents.
Of course, without any hard evidence, the Ark of Gabriel, and the rumors surrounding it, can only be relegated to conjecture. That said, it is comforting to think that some of the world’s most powerful entities would set aside their differences to come together and fend off the end of the world. But if it is true, the hope is that the Ark stays undisturbed in the most desolate region of the world for millennia to come.
Upon being briefed of the cataclysmic potential of the Ark of Gabriel, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin ordered his naval ships to transport the Ark (using the Kirill’s precautions) to Antarctica, where the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church stands as the only religious structure on the continent.
Did the Philadelphia Experiment Really Happen?
The World War II-era is notorious for mysterious Nazi experiments involving weapons and strange esoteric technology. But the U.S. also conducted its fair share of tests on new and nefarious weaponry and wartime tactics. Some of the most famous minds of the time, including Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein, were even employed to execute the military complex’s will, occasionally leading to some perplexing stories.
One of the more bizarre accounts involves the supposed attempt of the Navy to develop a technology that could make an entire ship invisible to the naked eye. But these experiments had some unintended consequences that led to the project being shut down and buried until a man who claimed to have worked on the project blew the whistle on its cover-up. The stories that ensued became the inspiration for a 1980s, sci-fi movie and the Netflix series, Stranger Things, but could these stories actually have some validity to them?
The Philadelphia Teleportation Experiment
A man named Al Bielek is a central figure in these stories and his account has been ridiculed as simply being contrived nonsense, but the historical context and his detailed narrative are intriguing and possibly part of a true story, shedding light on clandestine government operations, one of which was known as the Philadelphia Experiment.
According to Bielek, in the late 1930s, the Navy was working on a project using electromagnetism to essentially develop an invisibility cloak for its warships. Around that time, Bielek said that Einstein was directing a program of degaussing ships by wrapping them in electromagnetic coils, to protect against magnetic mines planted by the Nazis. Tesla purportedly took this technology and parlayed it into the cloaking experiment, having some initial success with a small boat. After failed attempts with larger ships, Tesla gave up and the project was handed over to Dr. John von Neumann, who also worked on the Manhattan Project.
Von Neumann eventually succeeded in making the U.S.S. Eldridge, a Cannon-class destroyer escort, invisible for a short period of time on the first occasion. According to Bielek, one of Tesla’s inventions, a Zero Time Reference Generator, lent itself to this success. This device supposedly locks the Earth’s magnetic fields and acts as a cosmological reference with the electromagnetic fields at the center of the galaxy.
The USS Eldridge, involved in the Philadelphia Experiment
Bielek said that Tesla gave von Neumann a cryptic warning about a “personnel problem” that might occur in their experiment, but he continued anyway and the Navy trained a crew specifically for the operation. Then on August 12, 1943, they ran a second test. After being shrouded in a “green, ozone-laden haze” the ship purportedly disappeared for several hours, during which it traveled through time and then rematerialized. Upon its return, sailors were reported to be violently ill, some engulfed in flames, and others molecularly bonded with the ship. Bielek, however, said he and his brother, who was aboard the ship at the time, jumped off during the time warp and remained in 1983 on Montauk, Long Island at another secretive government facility also experimenting with time travel, known as the Montauk Project.
Bielek gives an intriguing explanation for how his time travel was possible, relating to Tesla’s Zero Time Generator. He said that Tesla’s device was the key for the ship to return back to its original location. According to Bielek, we live in a five-dimensional reality, with time being the fourth and fifth dimensions. He said that every human is given a set of locks that lock them in a point of time from which they came, but that the experiment ruptured those time references, upon returning to Philadelphia.
