Tudor Parfitt and the Rhythmic Artillery of the Covenant

If there’s anything I do like about religion it’s the element of mythology that comes part and parcel with it, which is why I delight in articles like this recent one in Time magazine, implying not only that the Ark of the Covenant is a real, tangible artifact, but that it had been used for centuries by African Jews as a drum filled with gun-powder.

Take that, Indiana Jones.
