Did you know that? The Ark of the Covenant would have been an electrical capacitor

L'Arche d'Alliance

Really? And yes!!! This is what Mr. Maurice Denis-Papin (descendant of the inventor) tells us. Moreover, for him there were not only the Tables of the Law but also the Rod of Aaron and a vase full of manna from the desert which were in a box capable of producing powerful electric discharges from 550 to 700 volts.

In the Bible, Chapter XXV of Exodus, it is written that this Ark was made by Moses. According to the instructions of the Lord, it was to be built in a precise shape, with wood of the Setin lined with gold inside and outside, the technique for making this device (two capacitors separated by an insulator) a gold crown bringing together all these elements.

This Ark was located in a dry place with a natural magnetic field of between 500 and 600 volts per vertical meter. It is assumed that it contained batteries similar to those found in the Baghdad Museum and that the gold crown would have been used to charge it or the capacitor directly.

The Ark was guarded by Levites who were the only ones allowed to touch it. Moreover, it is known to all that they placed 2 gold-plated sticks in the rings of the Ark to move it: how can we not make the link here with the fact that, on a physical level, this material created a reaction that isolated the battery or the capacitor and thus allowed a safe movement?
