A recently declassified CIA document has ignited curiosity and debate, claiming that the Ark of the Covenant, the sacred biblical chest believed to house the Ten Commandments, was located in 1988 through a mysterious technique known as remote viewing. This method, often described as a form of extrasensory perception or astral projection, was part of a secretive CIA initiative.
According to the document, the Ark was found hidden underground in the Middle East, guarded by spirits wielding a power unknown to modern science, and containing historical knowledge that could rewrite what we understand about the past.
The Remote Viewing Session
The session took place on December 5, 1988, starting at 9:15 AM. The participant, identified only as “Viewer 032,” was not told the target of the exercise. Using a methodology crafted by Ingo Swann to eliminate personal biases, the viewer began by mentally traveling to the target location. Early impressions pointed to the Middle East, where the viewer heard Arabic being spoken and saw mosque domes dotting the landscape. People dressed in white with black hair and dark eyes populated the area.
The Ark itself was described as being concealed underground in a dark, wet, and heavily fortified space. Viewer 032 noted that it was “guarded” and “watched,” though by whom remained unclear. The session notes mention a chilling detail: a wall of mummies standing near the Ark, accompanied by the question, “Watched by whom?”
The viewer provided a vivid description of the Ark, calling it a container made of wood, gold, and silver, adorned with seraphim, ancient celestial beings. Its shape was likened to a coffin, and inside it held yet another container. The Ark was tied to profound concepts like ceremony, memory, homage, and resurrection. According to the viewer, it contains “historical knowledge far beyond what we now know” and exists to “bring a people together.”
A Protected Relic
When Viewer 032 attempted to open the Ark during the session, the effort was thwarted. The container was protected by entities, described as spirits, who allowed access only to those authorized. The notes warn that the Ark “will not be opened until the time is deemed correct,” and its locking mechanism, though simple in design, remained inaccessible.
More ominously, the viewer sensed that anyone trying to force it open by prying or striking would face destruction at the hands of its protectors, through a “power unknown to us.” The session recorded dark impressions like “forbidden,” “anguish,” “horror,” “terror,” and “burned,” underscoring the Ark’s formidable defenses.
The session ended at 10:45 AM, with Viewer 032 returning to normal consciousness. The CIA assessed the session as a success, noting that the viewer had “attained excellent site contact,” suggesting confidence in the findings despite the unconventional method.
Controversy and Context
Remote viewing, once explored by the CIA under programs like Project Stargate, remains a polarizing topic. Critics question its validity, while proponents point to declassified records as evidence of its potential. The claim that it located the Ark of the Covenant, a relic of immense spiritual and historical significance, adds another layer of intrigue to an already enigmatic story.
