July 16th 1936 – Marshall College, Connecticut
Marcus bought two Army intelligence agents to see me today. They had intercepted a communique from Cairo to Berlin believed to be sent by Abner Ravenwood. The Nazis, in their quest for occult power, are searching for my old mentor, who is the leading expert on the ancient Egyptian city of Tanis and possesses the headpiece of an artifact called the Staff of Ra.
The Nazis are searching for Tanis because it is believed to be the location of the Ark of the Covenant, the biblical chest built by the Israelites to contain the fragments of the Ten Commandments. The Nazis believe that if they acquire it, their armies will become invincible. The Staff of Ra, meanwhile, is the key to finding the Well of Souls, a secret chamber in which the Ark is buried. I was consulted because I have had past dealings with Ravenwood, and I have been asked to investigate the Nazi dig and to recover the Ark before the Nazis.
July 27 th 1936 - Nepal
I got here only to find that Ravenwood had died. Although we lost contact I will miss him. The headpiece was in the possession of his daughter, Marion, my embittered former lover.
I offered to buy the headpiece for three thousand dollars, plus two thousand more when we returned to the States but Marion refused. She always was stubborn, Marion's tavern “the Raven Bar” was suddenly raided by a group of thugs commanded by a Nazi agent named “Toht” a particularly nasty person. The tavern was burned down in the ensuing fight, during which Toht burnt his hand on the searing hot headpiece when he tried to grab it.
Marion and I managed to escape with the headpiece, with Marion declaring that she would accompany me in the search for the Ark so I can repay the debt.
July 29 th 1936 - Katmandu - Nepal
I contacted Sallah an old friend who is going to meet us in Cairo. He has information relating to the dig there.
August 1st 1936 - Cairo – Egypt
We have travelled to Cairo where we are staying with Sallah, who I can tell thinks there’s something going on with us. So what! ten years later and she still looks great, better even, Sallah was hired by the nazis because he is a skilled excavator, and has been given his own team and thus has learned that Belloq and the Nazis, led by Colonel Dietrich, are currently digging for the Well of Souls with a replica of the headpiece modeled after the scar on Toht's hand.
August 2 nd 1936 - Cairo – Egypt
Today in a local bazaar, Nazi operatives attempted to kidnap Marion. I chased them and after killing a Arab sword-master with my gun, she dies in an explosion. I could not get to her in time, I can’t even think about what Abner would do if he were still here, All I can do is get this thing finished and get the hell out of here as soon as I can. I’ve never been so grateful for good Egyptian liquor.
August 3rd 1936 - Cairo – Egypt
I have taken the headpiece to an old Iman to be translated - the front of the medallion reads
“ TEETAMAH QAMATO ”
This means that “you should fear its existence” – a warning not to disturb the Ark – but in the old tongue could also imply “SIX KADAM” – 72 inches.
But the back reads “KABEL YAHWEH VE HA MEESHKAN AMAH ARHAT NE AL KADAM” – which Translates as “take back one kadam to honor the hebrew god, whose ark this is”…
This means that the staff is 60 inches or five feet - Belloqs staff is too long!.
Sallah and I realized that the Nazis have miscalculated the length of the Staff of Ra and the location of the Well of Souls. Using this to our advantage, we infiltrate the Nazi dig and use the Staff of Ra to determine the location correctly and uncover the Well of Souls, Glad I bought this journal now.
August 4 th 1936 - Tanis – Egypt
Today I found the well of Souls which was filled with snakes. I hate Snakes, I managed to fend off the snakes and acquires the Ark, but Belloq, Dietrich and the Nazis arrived to take it. They tossed Marion into the well with me and sealed us in, but we managed to escape.
August 5 th 1936 – Cairo – Egypt
So, after discovering Marion is alive, being entombed in the Well of Souls, performing a fistfight with a giant Nazi mechanic, blowing up a Nazi flying wing on the airstrip, and chasing down a convoy of trucks, I take back the Ark before it can be shipped to Berlin. Busy day!
Sallah managed to secure transport for us.
On board a tramp steamer to England, Marion and I leave Cairo to escort the Ark.
The Captain “Katanga” has taken a shine to Marion and has “loaned” her a very stunning dress. Not sure of his intentions though. Unfortunutly the next morning, our boat was boarded by Belloq, Dietrich and the Nazis, who once again stole the Ark and kidnapped Marion. That’s twice now, I’m beginning to really hate those guys.
I somehow stowed away on their U-boat and followed them to an isolated island in the Aegean Sea. Glad they never submerged! I think Belloq plans to test the power of the Ark before presenting it to Hitler.
After following them into the hills I threatened to destroy the Ark with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, but Belloq called my bluff, knowing I could not bear to eradicate an important historical artifact like the Ark. So I reluctantly surrendered and I was eventually tied to a post with Marion above where Belloq planned the ceremony . As Belloq performed the ritual, he recited this prayer in Aramaic as he opened the Ark which to me appears to contain nothing but sand. ( I Think it was the last thing he ever said !!!!)
Translation – “Not in humans do I trust - And not on any child of God do I rely - In him (who) God is true - A whose Torah is true - In him I will trust - And to his name holy presious praise.” -
Suddenly, “spirits” or “Ghosts” resembling Old Testament Seraphim emerged from the Ark. I had a bad feeling about this and something told me to be wary of looking at the opened Ark. I warned Marion to close her eyes. And we missed most of the action thankfully, - The apparitions suddenly morphed into "Angels of death",
Not sure exactly what happened next but judging by the remains and sounds etc. I pieced this together - lightning bolts began flying out of the Ark, gruesomely killing the Nazi soldiers, while Belloqs head exploded, Dietrich and Toht melted, meeting an even more gruesome end. The fires rose into the sky, then fell back down to Earth and the Arks lid closed with a crack of thunder.With a loud thud our bonds were somehow cut and we were free, well as free as you can be on an island full of nazis. Luck was with us and we miraculously somehow managed to find a small fishing boat willing to take us and the Ark to Greece.
August 24 th 1936 – Washington DC,
After being debriefed and almost interrogated Back in Washington, D.C., the Army intelligence agents told Brody and I that the Ark "was someplace safe” to be studied by "top men". The Ark is an important archeological artifact and belongs in a museum.
1957 – Area 51 – Final notes
Found the Ark Again !!!! In reality, the Ark was sealed in a wooden crate labeled "top secret" and stored in a giant government warehouse in Area 51 filled with countless similar crates. I’ll have to make a return trip to find out what else is in there!
