it's very interesting to me. doesnt the story go that there is only one man who can physically view the ark, and that he has an apprentice of sorts that will take over the job after he is done? the "apprentice" has to be completely sin free because if not viewing the ark will destroy him. this is all from memory so forgive any errors. also the church or whatever it is that holds the ark is guarded by a bunch of guys with AK's?
