Secret CIA Documents Reveal Ark Of The Covenant Has Been Found

A recently resurfaced CIA document claims that the Ark of the Covenant, the sacred chest believed to house the Ten Commandments, was discovered in 1988 and is hidden somewhere in the Middle East.

The Ark, according to biblical history, was constructed by the Israelites around 1445 BC after their exodus from Egypt.

Moses is said to have placed the stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments inside the chest, which was covered in gold and housed in the Holy of Holies within the Temple of Jerusalem.

The Ark vanished when the Babylonians sacked Jerusalem in 586 BC, and its location has remained a mystery ever since.

Over the years, various theories have suggested that the Ark was either destroyed, hidden in a secret chamber beneath the Temple Mount, or smuggled to Ethiopia, where some believe it resides in the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in Aksum.

However, a declassified CIA document from the 1980s suggests the U.S. government may have known its true location for decades.

The document, part of a classified intelligence programme known as “Project Sun Streak,” details an experiment where a CIA-employed remote viewer—an individual with alleged psychic abilities—was tasked with locating the Ark using only its coordinates.

Identified as “Remote Viewer No. 032,” the psychic described a large, coffin-shaped container made of wood, gold, and silver, adorned with a six-winged angel.

The document states, “The target is a container. This container has another container inside of it. The target is fashioned of wood, gold and silver…. and it is decorated with [a six-winged angel].”

According to the remote viewer, the Ark is buried underground in a dark, wet location, and people in the area speak Arabic.

They also described nearby buildings resembling mosques, with men dressed in white robes, having dark hair and moustaches.

“This target is located somewhere in the Middle East as the language spoken by individuals present seemed to be Arabic.”

The document also includes descriptions of a religious purpose behind the Ark’s concealment:

“The purpose of the target is to bring a people together. It has something to do with ceremony, memory, homage, the resurrection. There is an aspect of spirituality, information, lessons and historical knowledge far beyond what we now know.”

The psychic further warned that the Ark is heavily guarded by unknown forces and that any unauthorised attempt to open it would be met with severe consequences.

“The target is protected by entities and can only be opened (now) by those who are authorized to do so — this container will not/cannot be opened until the time is deemed correct.”

The document goes on to describe a hidden mechanism that will allow the Ark to be accessed at the right time but warns of destruction for anyone who tries to force it open:

“The mechanics of the lock system will be found to be fairly simple,” the remote viewer wrote, but cautioned that “anyone who attempts to open the container by prying or striking will be ‘destroyed by the container’s protectors through the use of a power unknown to us.’ ”

Accompanying the report are sketches allegedly drawn by the remote viewer during the session.

These include a structure resembling a mosque with a domed top, a group of eight stick-figure-like “mummies” lined up against a wall, and a winged creature labeled “seraphim.”

Another sketch includes a set of ominous words such as “death,” “forbidden,” “protected,” “sacred,” “destroyed,” “pain,” and “anguish.”

The resurfaced document has gained attention after it was featured on the Ninjas are Butterflies podcast, where host Josh Hooper recounted his shock upon discovering the file on the CIA website.

“I was like… ‘what am I looking at?'” He said. “What he wrote was bone-chilling.”

The CIA’s interest in remote viewing was part of a broader initiative in the 1970s and 1980s, where intelligence agencies explored paranormal methods to gather information on distant locations and events.

The programme, originally classified, was later declassified in 2000, though many of its findings remain disputed.

While theories about the Ark’s location persist—ranging from the Middle East to Ethiopia—no physical evidence has yet confirmed its existence.

However, the declassified CIA document suggests that the U.S. government may have had knowledge of its whereabouts for decades, leaving the mystery of the Ark of the Covenant open for further investigation.
