Force has sealed off the

investigations are possible at this time.
    Rioting broke out in Jerusalem within
minutes of the explosions, with Muslims accusing Jews of attempting
to blow up the Dome of the Rock – one of Islam’s holiest sites. The
gold-domed mosque is built above the ruins of the Temple of Solomon
and the later Temple of Herod.
     
    2) Treasury of the
Church of Saint Mary of Zion, Axum, Ethiopia
    Axum is Ethiopia’s
holiest city, and the Church of Saint Mary of Zion its holiest
church. The Treasury , a separate building located just behind the church, was said
to house the Ark of the Covenant, supposedly brought there by
Menelik I, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. (Menelik
means ‘son of the wise man’, and the ancient kingdom of Sheba is
believed to have incorporated Ethiopia.) A monk known as the Keeper
of the Ark protected the Ark at all times. He was shot dead during
the raid. The Ethiopian authorities did not allow investigators to
enter The Treasury . They refused to confirm that the object they claimed was the Ark of
the Covenant was taken.
     
    3) Chalice Well,
Glastonbury, England
    Legend says that
Joseph of Arimathea was imprisoned after Jesus’ death. When he was
released, he fled from the Holy Land and took the Holy Grail to the
safe haven of Glastonbury in England. He hid the Grail at the
bottom of Chalice Well at the foot of Glastonbury Tor, a sacred
mound overlooking the town of Glastonbury. The well’s water is
allegedly tinged red and reputed to have healing powers. The April
24 raiders climbed into the well and removed a section of the
well’s wall, revealing a small, rust-free iron chamber, previously
unknown. There is no indication of what, if anything, they
discovered.
     
    4) Schatzkammer
(Imperial Treasury), Hofburg Palace, Vienna, Austria
    The Schatzkammer houses the Imperial
Regalia of the Holy Roman Empire: the European empire created by
Charlemagne and dissolved centuries later by Napoleon Bonaparte. The only item stolen from the collection of treasures was the
so-called Spear of Destiny. All alarm systems and CCTV cameras at
the Hofburg Palace were disabled during the raid. A top-secret
tranquillising gas knocked out security guards. Only U.S. and U.K. Special Forces are known to have access to this gas.
     
    5) Oak Island, Nova
Scotia, Canada
    A small, remote island
off the east coast of Canada, practically uninhabited, and reputed
to be the site of a vast, inaccessible buried treasure located at
the bottom of a booby-trapped, intricately constructed
200-feet-deep vertical shaft known as the Money Pit . Originally, pirates were
thought to have buried the treasure; Captain Kidd and Blackbeard
being the most likely candidates. However, some experts have said
pirates lacked the engineering skills to construct such a complex
structure. Leonardo Da Vinci has been mentioned as a possible
designer of the pit. Other theories claim that Freemasons or the
Knights Templar created it. Following the forcible arrest of the
Knights Templar in 1307, those leaders of the Order who managed to
evade capture gave instructions for their treasure to be hidden
from their enemies. It was removed by the ships of the Templar
Fleet and vanished from history. Some accounts say it included the
Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant. Several experts believe the
Templars discovered the Americas before Columbus, and that the
Templar Fleet possibly went to North America to bury the
treasure.
    The raiders at Oak Island appeared to
know exactly how to access the Money Pit. A previously unknown
route through the booby-traps was cleared, leading to a large
subterranean, waterproofed chamber, the walls of which were carved
with swastikas, many hundreds of years old. A couple of Roman coins
were discovered near the mouth of the pit. The coins were from
ancient Judea, with one side showing the head of the Emperor
Tiberius and the reverse
