ARK CODE RESEARCH: Since 1997 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).
Above: ELS MAP 1. This site presents many maps encoded in Torah. All point to the Ark of the Covenant as resting at 31 degrees 9 minutes North, 33 degrees, 43 minutes East on a bearing of 251.565 degrees True from Jerusalem. BELOW: The second major area of my research deals with Mars. We have extensive proof that our Government is grossly understating Martian Air Pressure. This can only be due to incompetence or disinformation. We examine both possibilities in great detail.
MARCH 3, 2021: First Annual Update for our 1,231-page report entitled MARS CORRECT: CRITIQUE OF ALL NASA MARS WEATHER DATA. In 2009) my son David A. Roffman (now with a PhD in physics) began his BS in space physics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He asked me for an idea for his first technical paper. I told him that I had a hard time believing that dust devils could form so easily on Mars because the air there is almost a vacuum. It has an average pressure of 6.1 mbar which is less than a hundredth of Earth’s air pressure of 1,013.25 mbar. So I suggested that he write a 10-page report called ENIGMA OF THE MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE: HIGHER THAN ADVERTISED AIR PRESSURE. He presented a PowerPoint of the paper at the Mars Society Convention the next summer. We both continued to research this topic together for at least the next 11 years (up through today). Over that time the Report grew from 10 pages to the current length of over 1,200 pages.
During this intense 12-year audit of NASA data our doubts about air pressure were joined by data-induced reservations about winds (which we forced NASA to remove), nightly temperatures, relative humidity, ultraviolet radiation and opacity. We spent years trying to decide if major errors by NASA were due to incompetence or deliberate disinformation. After about 10 years it became clear that errors were likely politically driven. The reasons for our suspicions are not included in this report or on my son’s web site, but they are included elsewhere on this site. The Mars Society received political pressure to pull the report down. Thankfully they resisted it and agreed to publish at least one annually updated report. The first such update is the PDF here.
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 3.2 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. There is also a section about the 7.5 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. As noted above, 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 and 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.
CURRENT EVENTS.
Section 2 of the Table of Contents will take you to articles that explain how the Torah Code works, why it often focuses on the Ark of the Covenant, and what the history of the Ark is.
Sections 3A and 3B – THE SECRETS OF MARS. For over nine years now my son (who has a physics PhD and a B.S. in Space Physics) and I have conducted an in depth study of the Martian atmosphere. We have audited almost all available data. Our conclusion is that the U.S. Government has not presented an accurate portrait of Mars. In particular, we find that air pressure is far higher than the accepted average of 6.1 millibars (compared to 1,013.25 mbar on Earth). In fact, we have evidence that air pressure there may be more like what would be expected in Vail, Colorado rather than the near vacuum asserted by NASA/JPL. A PowerPoint version of our Report is found at Mars Correct? Mars is Wet! This presentation was uploaded on March 27, 2018.
The material that we maintain at MarsCorrect.com has nothing to do with the Torah Code. The last rover to land on Mars is named Curiosity. If you’re curious about what the Torah Codes has to offer about Mars, see CONTENTS 3B: MARS CODES. I was first interviewed for 90 minutes on the Curtner and Kerr radio (Mars Exposed!) show on April 30, 2013. There I discussed our findings about Mars having far higher air pressure than our Government will admit to. You can hear a recording of the show HERE. For more recent broadcasts that I have done see RADIO AND TV.
Below: UFOs are explored in the Torah Code. There have been several people who claimed to abductees who have asked me to search for them in the Code, but a great matrix doesn’t constitute proof of their claims. The history of UFOs and proposed UFO propulsion technology are both discussed too.

HEBREW IN THE THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS OFTEN DOES NOT MATCH LATER ACCEPTED TEXTS
The ELS Maps spoken about at the top of this page can be accessed via the links in the first column of the Table below. ELS Maps 12 and 16 include personal names that are only relevant because the Code is alleged to be predictive. While the presence of my name proves nothing as other names might also be found, the absence of my name would tend to indicate that the maps are not valid. This is because the discovery of the Ark via ELS Maps would be one of the most significant events that could occur. It would almost certainly be an event that would merit the name of the discoverer.
I can both express (via transliterations) and find most (but not all) names at an ELS of up to 9 letters in Torah, however I never assign an statistical significance to these names. Calculations for statistical significance are only done for a-priori terms, that is, for terms named in advance of a search for the names, and then found on the matrices around the names. Typically the names and a-priori terms are in an area of 200 to 700 letters in area.
