ARK CODE RESEARCH: For 22 years I've studied the Bible Code to learn if it contains the site of the Ark of the Covenant. Why? Michael Drosnin’s (1997) book, THE BIBLE CODE, claimed the future of the world, including an atomic holocaust, is encoded in Torah. As a military planner with Hebrew skills, I needed to know if Drosnin's predictions were valid; and suspected that a real Code would include the location of the Ark. After 2 expeditions to Egypt, I've concluded that any idea of a general predictive Code needs to be modified in accordance with Talmudic principles and the concept of Free Will. Drosnin's atomic holocaust warnings were not statistically significant, but others I found were. The redundant maps summarized below and throughout this site are very significant. They strongly suggest an Ark Code that pinpoints where Jeremiah hid the Ark when he was forced into Egyptian exile (Jeremiah 43:7).

MARS CORRECT RESEARCH. I have formed a research group name Mars Correct. Its purpose is to present more 8 years of intense research that proves the U.S. Government is withholding the truth about Martian air pressure. The most up-to-date information about this topic and a related blog is here at MarsCorrect.com. Our report is entitled MARS CORRECT – CRITIQUE OF ALL NASA MARS WEATHER DATA. Here is our Absract:

ABSTRACT: We present evidence that NASA is seriously understating Martian air pressure. Our 10-year study critiques 2,540 Sols (~7.11 terrestrial years, 3.77 Martian years, and a full Global Dust Storm at MSL) of highly problematic MSL Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) weather data, and offers an in depth audit of over 8,311 hourly Viking 1 and 2 weather reports. We discuss analysis of technical papers, NASA documents, and personal interviews of transducer designers. We troubleshoot pressures based on radio occultation/spectroscopy, and the previously accepted small pressure ranges that could be measured by Viking 1 and 2 (18 mbar), Pathfinder and Phoenix (12 mbar), and MSL (11.5 mbar - altered to 14 mbar in 2017). For MSL there were several pressures published from August 30 to September 5, 2012 that were from 737 mbar to 747 mbar – two orders of magnitude high – only to be retracted. We challenged many pressures and NASA revised them down, however 9 years into this audit it has come to our attention that of two pressure sensors ordered by NASA for Mars Pathfinder, one of them (Tavis Dash No. 1) could in fact measure up to 1,034 mbar. Further, for the MSL according to an Abstract to the American Geophysical Union for the Fall 2012 meeting, The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) states of their MSL (and Phoenix) Vaisala transducers, “The pressure device measurement range is 0 – 1025 hPa in temperature range of -45°C – 55°C, but its calibration is optimized for the Martian pressure range of 4 – 12 hPa..” So while we originally thought that of the five landers on Mars that had meteorological suites, none of them could measure Earth-like pressures, in fact, if the higher pressure sensor Pathfinder Tavis Dash 1 (0-15 PSIA/1,034 mbar) was sent rather than Tavis Dash 2 (0-0.174 PSIA/12 mbar), three landers were actually equipped to get the job done, but the public was largely kept in the dark about it. All 19 low uv values were removed when we asked about them, although they eventually restored 12 of them. REMS always-sunny opacity reports were contradicted by Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photos. Why REMS Team data was so wrong is a matter of speculation, but we clearly demonstrate that their weather data was regularly revised after they studied critiques in working versions of this report and on our website at http://davidaroffman.com. REMS even labelled all dust storm weather as sunny, although they did list the UV values as all low.



Vikings and MSL showed consistent timing of daily pressure spikes which we link to how gas pressure in a sealed container would vary with Absolute temperature, to heating by radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs), and to dust clots at air access tubes and dust filters. Pathfinder, Phoenix and MSL wind measurement failed. Phoenix and MSL pressure transducer design problems included confusion about dust filter location, and lack of information about nearby heat sources due to International Traffic and Arms Regulations (ITAR). NASA Ames could not replicate dust devils at 10 mbar. Rapidly filled MER Spirit tracks required wind speeds of 80 mph at the assumed low pressures. These winds were never recorded on Mars. Nor could NASA explain drifting Barchan sand dunes. Based on the above and dust devils on Arsia Mons to altitudes of 17 km above areoid (Martian equivalent of sea level), spiral storms with 10 km eye-walls above Arsia Mons and similar storms above Olympus Mons (over 21 km high), dust storm opacity at MER Opportunity blacking out the sun, snow that descends 1 to 2 km in only 5 or 10 minutes, excessive aero braking, liquid water running on the surface in numerous locations at Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL) and stratus clouds 13 km above areoid, we argue for an average pressure at areoid of ~511 mbar rather than the accepted 6.1 mbar. This pressure grows to 1,050 mbar in the Hellas Basin.

The version of our report linked to above was uploaded on November 7, 2018. The easiest way to grasp what we have found is to view the PowerPoint at entitled Mars Correct? Mars is Wet! It was updated on July 17, 2018. In the past I have written that MarsCorrect.Com may form the nucleus of potential litigation against our Government with respect to disinformation about Mars (whether by design or through incompetence) unless the Government actively enlists us in the formal analysis of Martian weather data. There have been hundreds of visits to MarsCorrect.Com and its related site (DavidARoffman.com) by NASA and foreign space agencies. We record them all and have the lists ready for court action if required, however I now view that possibility as rather remote. We also note constant (daily) visits by our military or Department of Defense sites, but we view these as all positive - in fact the DoD intelligence audience is exactly who we want reading our sites. It appears that NASA has accepted our critiques and incorporated our suggested changes with respect winds, temperatures, Gale Crater, Mars sunrise-sunset times, and alteration of pressures that were off the expected curve. However, our problem is with the expected curve itself. That's based on an accepted pressure at areoid (Martian equivalent of sea level) of 6.1 mbar while we think we prove the that real value is closer to 511 mbar. The difference between their value and ours is the difference between death and life.

As for the possibility that our Government will at some point try to shut down what I have to say about Mars - at this point they appear to find my research to be more useful than a threat. However if anyone wants to take such an action, they're already too late. The cat is out of the bag. Our Mars findings are already well known to many or all foreign space agencies. The European Space Agency in particular, in conjunction with the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) was following us closely at http://davidaroffman.com/photo4_9.html before they lost the ExoMars 2016 Schiaparelli lander, and a lot closer after they lost it. Had they believed our air pressure findings before their spacecraft reached Mars they would not have thought that they were on the surface when in fact they were still 3.7 km above it.

Let me be perfectly clear. We want an end to disinformation about Mars and we want the United States of America on Mars before any other nation. We want the U.S. there with American-made rockets and American-made parts. We believe that the way to make America great again is to hold the high ground in space the way we did when we landed 12 men on the moon. No other nation has even sent one person there yet.

HOW BIBLE CODE MAPS ARE ENCODED.

The first 5 books of the Bible (Torah) contain a redundant series of maps that point to a single location for the Ark of the Covenant. Key site names are encoded in such manner as to have the angles between Jerusalem, Egyptian towns or sites, and the suspect Ark site exactly correspond to actual course headings on real world maps. The purpose of this site is to document these maps (found by myself and by Dr. Robert Haralick of the City University of New York Computer Science Graduate Studies Department), and to help facilitate actions required to investigate the site (and, of course - recover the Ark if it's there). To understand the Bible Code, you will find it well worthwhile to view Part 1 of my slide presentation. Also see Basic Terms and concepts. The search for the Ark via the Bible Code has always been an attempt to learn any of the Bible Code is real, or an illusion produced by sloppy scientific procedures. An Ark find in the specified area would constitute the required extraordinary evidence for at least a limited predictive Code because the maps would have to have been made based on prior knowledge of where the Prime Meridian (used to denote longitude) would be placed in 1884 - over 3,000 years after Torah was written.

Ten maps have been found in Torah pointing to the Ark's resting site at 31o9’ North, 33o4’ East on the Bardawil (El Zuqba) Peninsula of the Northern Sinai in Egypt. However, success in recovering the Ark will largely depend upon expedition financing and permits required from the Egyptian Government. The site is in an Egyptian military-restricted zone, generally open only to Bedouin natives. For a recent satellite photo of the site and the Egyptian military base located about 1.6 miles away, see BASE. The first Bible Code Map pointing to the Ark of the Covenant is posted above. It is explained at ELS MAP 1. For a comparison with other maps found pointing to the same site, see COMPARISON or the more interactive list in the next section below. To view a slide show explaining the maps, see Part 2 of my slide show. If you are interested in alternate theories about the Ark's location (like Jerusalem, Ethiopia, Rome, etc.) you can find quick answers to your questions at Part 4 of my slide show. There are also more in depth articles about the major suspect sites posted here (see the Table of Contents Part 1)

WHY ARE ELS MAPS SO IMPORTANT? For years, scientists have been working on the Search for Extraterrestrial Life (SETI) program. SETI uses radio telescopes to listen for narrow-bandwidth radio signals from space. Such signals are not known to occur naturally. As such, detection would suggest evidence of extraterrestrial technology. Now, imagine what would occur if SETI detected a redundant binary signal meaning 3.14159. This equates to the first six digits of Pi, a number required for development of any mathematically based civilization. If it were certified that this transmission originated in another star system, would there be any question about whether or not we had detected life elsewhere? Hardly. Likewise, on ELS Maps presented on this site, it is shown that there is such a redundant signal (presumably encoded by our Creator) in Torah: 251.565. This, in degrees True, is the course from Temple Mount in Jerusalem to the site on the El Zuqba (Bardawil) Peninsula in Egypt where the Ark appears to lay waiting. Just how redundant is this signal? It occurs on the ELS Maps shown on the table at the bottom of this page.

WHAT ELSE IS ON THIS SITE? There is an extensive current events section with a frequent focus on Barack Obama, a section about the Torah Code and in particular the Ark of the Covenant, one on Israel and religious questions, and one on UFOs and science. There is a section about the Dead Sea Scrolls. Recently I added a section about the 3.5 years of extensive research that my son and I have done about the Martian atmosphere. Although there are a few Code matrices at the end of the Mars section, my son and I have been speakers at the International Mars Society conventions. What we offer is serious scientific evidence that Mars has significantly higher pressure than advertised.

Section 1 of the Table of Contents will take you to articles related to current events and recent history back to 2009. There are several pages pertaining to the threat from Iran, a section that takes a quick look at candidates for President in 2016. There are also numerous pages that deal with natural disasters and other newsworthy stories.
