The Real Raiders of the Lost Ark: Though it probably wouldn't sell out at the box office, there are a band of real-life raiders presently seeking out the Ark of the Covenant, and guess where they're looking. If you guessed underneath the site of Jesus' crucifixion, you're a winner. Neverminding that there is some dispute over where exactly Yeshua ben Yosef was strung up, the searchers are following up on a claim by the late Ron Wyatt, who said he actually saw the Ark twenty years ago and believed it's covered in the blood of Christ (which leaked down through a crack caused by an earthqua... oh forget it).
Wyatt, who's been called a "charlatan" by other Bible scholars, also claimed to have found the other Ark (Noah's) in Turkey, what's left of Pharoah's chariots at the bottom of the Red Sea, and the "true" location of Mount Sinai -- apparently it's in Arabia, not Sinai. Thus far, the expedition hasn't unearthed the sacred artifact, but we're sure when Harrison Ford shows up great adventures and much success will ultimately ensue.
