Legend of 'The Ark of the Covenant'
Legend has it that a 24 inch wide three dimensional Merkaba (Star of David) made of solid Quartz crystal was on the top of the pyramid at Giza. When the Sun shone through the quartz crystal people passing by were given mild burns.

'If you gaze upon the Ark you will be burnt' So they covered the Ark in Gold.

Was the 'Mer-Ka-Ba' a sundial to call people to pray at the Temple?

Was this symbol used by followers to show that they are believers or 'Keepers of the faith' or is this Knights Templar symbol from the MerKaBa just a large coincidence?

Mer means ' Ascending Place'

Ka means 'True Spirit'

and Ba means 'Soul' in ancient Egypt.

Mer-Ka-Ba therefore means ' Ascending Place of True Spiritual Souls' also known as 'The Ark of the Covenant' the communication device with God or 'Temple'.

If the Mer-Ka-Ba symbol was on top of the pyramids, are the pyramids the 'The Ark of the Covenant'? Moses is said to possess the Ark.

Moses had a box created to put the Ark of the Covenant in, it was decorated with gold and two winged cherubs. On the side of the box was a 'Star of David' symbol or Merkaba symbol. It is written in the bible that the Ark of the Covenant had a golden jar containing manna (Gold Powder Monatonic Mineral) Hebrews 9:4. Also the Papyrus of Ani inside the Egyptian book of the dead has a like statement. Gold Powder was used by Knights Templars Priests of the Inner Circle to aid meditation. Gold powder or Manna was also found in the Kings chamber in the Great Pyramid at Giza.
