Haha, is that supposed to be the Ark? The Ark definitely was not in the Temple in 70 CE.

@yadsik There is no ark in this film

[yadsik]

@Greyshark09 So what is the Ark-like object at 7:06 - 7:26 supposed to be?

[anissueofursincerity]

@yadsik

Apparently an enormous foul up on the part of the makers of this.

[anissueofursincerity]

@Greyshark09

Begin watching at 7:00

That is the ark.

@yadsik

You are absolutely right. What are they up to here? Or is this just really bad history?

Too bad, because up to now I thought I was learning some things.

[yadsik]

@anissueofursincerity I just hope that it's either an "Easter egg" or a joke for those who know history.

Though, overall, I must say I did enjoy the docudrama quite a bit.

[anissueofursincerity]

@yadsik Me too. It's probably reliable from a military history standpoint, the weapons and tactics.
