Besides Crocodile Games' (excellent) one, are there any other companies that make an Ark of the Covenant mini? Crocodiles Games' figure has kneeling falcon-headed figures on the lid, I'm looking for kneeling human-headed angels, a la "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Thanks in advance!

It might be worth reading the actual descriptions of the ark. Has to be covered in a cloth.

With a cover, you could have anything under there!

You're grasping a key point of religion.

Hahaha! Mark Twain in his skeptical years would have loved that! (Before he became besotted with Joan of Arc, God love 'em.)

I do recall in Raiders the Nazis did carry it to the altar with a cloth cover. But if we are being consistent with the mythology, I'm wondering how anyone was able to touch the Ark at all without getting fried--least of all, the Hebrew-hating Nazis. As I recall from the Old Testament, only the Levites could carry the Ark (1 Chronicles 15:2) and even a well-meaning ox-cart driver was killed by the Ark for trying to keep the thing from tipping over. ((2 Samuel 6:1-11)
