Ezekiel's Code and the Ark of the Covenant Continued from page 44 if they, too, were muddled, this would _ of idiots who tried to recover the Ark or exnlain Parker's decision to ahandan — other treasnres and succeeded but forever if they, too, were muddled, this would explain Parker's decision to abandon Juvelius's decodings and try to go it alone. Juvelius died from throat cancer on Christmas Day 1922, at the age of fifty- seven. The Hebrew Bible that had served as the basis of his decipherment was buried with him. It was around the time of Juvelius's death that Millen published his book; it would guarantee the survival of the Juvelius "myth". To make sure that he remained the centre of attention, Millen said that when he wrote his book he was pressured into leaving out certain details. If true, it could merely have been some well-meant advice not to include outlandish claims; but what was implied was that there was more about the story than what could or should be publicly revealed. Furthermore, he supposedly placed his personal papers in a safe deposit box, bequeathing them to the Swedish Theosophical Society. When the box was opened following his death, it was found to be totally empty. The account of Juvelius has the hallmark of a group of idiots who tried to recover the Ark and failed miserably—and of a group of idiots who tried to recover the Ark or other treasures and succeeded, but forever after had to deny everything. Both possibilities remain, though the latter is on balance extremely unlikely. We know very little of the riots, and we don't even know whether the keeper checked first as to what was occurring beneath him before running into the streets, causing people to beat themselves into a frenzy. Perhaps the riots did need a legitimate cause, such as the theft of a discovered precious artefact, or perhaps not. Just like Indiana Jones and his quest for the Ark, in the final outcome, if they ever did uncover something, it could only befall the same fate as the Ark does in that movie. Of quests that are illegally born, no legitimate offspring can ever be conceived. To keep the light of intrigue burning, Millen claimed that Juvelius's material was stolen after 1911. Others reported that it was merely "lost". Tf Parker found the Ark of the Covenant, it seems it did not change his lifestyle—but then, would anyone who discovered such a treasure give its existence away so easily? And if Parker did find it, Juvelius would more than likely not have been privy to this. Juvelius returned to a normal life. From 1918 to 1922 he worked in the public library at Viipuri (Vyborg, Sweden), as its director. According to Finnish researcher Voitto Viro, Juvelius made new maps of the Jerusalem underground network during the period 1919 to 1922 to replace the stolen (or lost) originals. The maps remained in the possession of the Juvelius family, and researchers who have consulted and investigated these documents claim they are muddled and in places contradictory. In short, they are useless. Of course, this may Say little about the original maps—but About the Author: Philip Coppens has previously contributed six articles to NEXUS, the most recent being "Burrows Cave: African Gold in Illinois" (see 13/05).
