Review # 1 was written on 2013-10-22 00:00:00 Koko Jent This book sparked a wave of mystery in me that caused me to read another book of his and start to research the reality of Jesus and mysteries of the bible. This book is good. Bottom line. The only thing that is bothersome and tends to get in the way of the information is the obvious disbelief of Jesus. As a believer of Jesus and the bible stories that is the only hurdle i faced while reading this book. I have given it 4 stars for this reason only. Laurence Gardner is intelligent and a good writer but seems to unknowingly press his opinions on the reader. Other than that, the book was enthralling and it takes a scientific look at the Ark. Fascinating is the best way I can describe my feelings during and after reading this book. I would recommend to anyone but would also remind them to keep a grip on your personal beliefs and know that the author tends to turn away from facts and slide some personal throughs of Jesus into information driven chapters.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-02-17 00:00:00 Lucas Wright This book is densely packed with content, impossible to consume at a single read. It's very difficult to separate facts from fiction in most of it. What is not hard to identify, is the science fantasy/fiction and there is plenty of this. It's somewhat biblical in the endless, "so 'n' so begets so 'n' so, who begets so 'n' so..." ad infinatum. For the reader who actually cares about this stuff I suppose it makes a good reference document. The author clearly likes the ideas stemming from zero-point energy because there is a lot of fascinating stuff (or non-stuff, if you wish ;-) in the questions that physicists have revealed. But questions about reality, and our perception of it do not negate it. And most important it does not mean that any question is valid or even relevant. Just because harmonic superspinning particles can defy our current notions of time-space reality, it does not mean that all reality is fantasy. Authors like Gardner trust the scientific methods that have revealed these things. By trusting it further, we can get to a trusted understanding of all of the implications of superconducting matter. In my mind we will not get there by trusting quacky speculations about the properties of an illusory Ark and words and more words from ancient or modern writers endlessly speculating about what the ancients were doing with this Ark. When, and only when, we uncover the Ark from its tomb on Oak Island ;-) will we be able to consider physical testing. Remember, Nullis in verba, which is approximately, "Take no one's word for it."
