"The two fools who rushed in"

This expression comes from Steven Yaskell's book "Grand Phases on the Sun" on www.amazon.com & facebook. Many historical charts in the book came from a project by my father and I. Steven recognized us as "the two fools who rushed in", because of the scary historical concept that we worked on. My father and I still find this to be funny, and we are still the same old fools.

The Ark of the Covenant

Was the "Ark of the Covenant" shown explicitly on an engraving of the Temple at Karnac, and labelled as "Item #9" in Figure 8 (a drawing by W. Wreszinski) of Immanuel Velikovsky's "Ages in Chaos I: From the Exodus to Akhnaton"? According to [Velikovsky 1952] this drawing was made as a recording of the loot taken from the Temple of Solomon during Pharoah "Shishak's" conquest of Jerusalem. The question is whether this part of the temple inscription was purposely chiseled out.
