'travel agent Malcolm Hutton (writing as Calumy) claimed that the Ark of the Covenant is actually the pyramidion from atop Khufu’s pyramid and that it is currently hidden inside the Kaaba in Mecca.'
I spend most of the last few years being bored and with nothing new seeming to happen and then 2020! I've really missed this sort of thing. Goodbye sober day,,, hello Milky Way!
'you can’t logically keep the Ark on the strength of the Bible while dumping its description.'
That sounds like a challenge to me. I'm pretty sure I could. It does after all have at least two different descriptions. And why assume the pyramid ended in a point and not a platform? Unlikely? Yes. But my home team beat Manchester United once and that was far less likely.
Reading on... This is going to take some research. Seems like my sort of thing too. Thanks for posting!
Edit: As someone who listens to the Skeptoid podcast and is basically a skeptical kind of guy, the tone of this article goes beyond skepticism into just mockery and dismissal. He seems pretty ignorant really. Egypt Judaism and the origins of Islam are linked, quite obviously, he doesn't seem to know the Biblical references to the Ark beyond that bit in Exodus or about the Benu stone meteoric rock which was set on a pillar in Egypt. If you are going to sneer, be sure that you really do know it all.
