HOW ELS MAP 1 WAS FOUND.
I chose to see if there was anything encoded about the site of the Ark of the Covenant. On searching for the term (ARON BRIT in Hebrew), I found its lowest ELS (considered most significan> in Hebrew), I found its lowest ELS (considered most significant) at skip -306 crossed EGYPTIANS WERE BURYING. The intersection was at Numbers 33:4. Chapter and verse reminded me of a longitude (33 degrees 4 minute East) near Israel. The word for LONGITUDE at skip 2 touched both EGYPTIANS WERE BURYING and ARK OF THE COVENANT. But a longitude without a latitude is almost worthless.
One of the six open text Torah mentions of the Ark of the Covenant by that name was at a chapter and verse that corresponded to a latitude near or through Israel - Deuteronomy 31:9, corresponding to 31 degrees 9 minutes North. The intersection of these lines was at a place called the Zuqba peninsula, surrounded by Lake Bardawil in the Sinai of peninsula, surrounded by Lake Bardawil in the Sinai of Northern Egypt. ZUQBA at skip -1 intersects with and shares the letter bet in ARON BRIT. BARDAWIL at skip -303 starts its encoding at the same letter bet.
When I pointed this out to Dr. Eliyahu Rips of Hebrew University, he objected, claiming that by rabbinic tradition the Ark remains buried under Temple Mount in Jerusalem. I then sought JERUSALEM on the same plot. Like BARDAWIL, it was also there at a skip of 303 letters. I soon learned that by Global Positioning Satellite (GPS), the course from Jerusalem to my coordinates at 31-9 North, 33-4 East is 252 degrees True, +/1 a degree of error. On the matrix, the course from the beginning of Jerusalem to that of ZUQBA is 252.35. The angle from the end of TEMPLE to the beginning of ARK OF THE COVENANT also rounds of to 252 - it's 251.565. This course was repeated on ten other ELS maps! This pattern is so significant, it's like receiving a radio transmission from another star that repeats the value of Pi.
