(29 Jul 1994) A Texas Bible scholar who claims to be the model for adventure
film hero Indiana Jones said on Thursday (28/7) he had discovered
an ancient resting place of the lost Ark of the Covenant. Vendyl
Jones, who says he could dig up the ark itself if Israel would let
him, said he used space-age technology to discover stone walls of
a biblical city at Gilgal in the dusty desolation of the lowest
point on earth.
