My training and education has been in engineering, material sciences and the arts as they are applied to bronze casting.  I have worked as an artist for thirty-five years. This chronology was developed as a working tool to help me sort out the facts as they relate to the Jewish history behind the Ark of the Covenant.  There is a lot of interest in this subject and volumes have been written on the subject, I personally do not want to add to the confusion.

My Chronological comparison's were made for my own edification and I am willing to look at different possible scenarios in order to put things into context. I consider it a working tool, and nothing more. My focus was primarily on the Exodus period and the art that would have occurred in the geographical area of the Nile Delta called Goshen. Whatever training the artisans recieved who made the Ark would have recieeived in Egypt prior tothe Exodus. It is my belief that Moses design of the ark would have been influenced to use material he had become familiar with in Egypt. Jewish history seems to focus on the national heritage of the Hebrews and not on outside influences.

I would be interested in receiving suggestions for any material that might improve my knowledge of the subject matter.
