There were two Americans that saw the ark on two different occasions, one I believe saw it back in World War II, and the other during the 1960s, both were in the U.S. Armed Services. And both accounts even though they were from different time periods, both accounts matched. The one man who saw it back in the 40s shortly before he died restated what he saw to a reporter, he told the reporter he was speaking the truth. It was pretty close to a death bed confession.
The bible and oral traditions are mere hearsay and can not be considered evidence or facts. Campbell, if as you say many have seen the ark why haven't these sighting been confirmed? Why is it, or pieces of it not in a museum somewhere? The fact that it isn't confirms why hearsay is valueless.

Still hearsay, freedom....Actually that is all there is to the bible, other than a few historical stories. I do like historical fiction though.

They found The Temple of Zeus!

Temple of Olympian Zeus (Athens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

"The Temple of Olympian Zeus (Greek: Ναός του Ολυμπίου Διός or Naos tou Olimpiou Dios), also known as the Olympieion, is a colossal ruined temple in the centre of the Greek capital Athens that was formerly dedicated to Zeus, king of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants, who envisaged building the greatest temple in the ancient world, but it was not completed until the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD some 650 years after the project had begun. During the Roman periods it was renowned as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues in the ancient world."

Does this mean you believe he is a real god?
