The Discovery of The Celestial Chariot (2011)
This project starts from a “misinterpretation” of Chapter 1 in the Book of Ezekiel. Interpretations of ancient text have had a significant impact on collective Jewish and Israeli consciousness, and are a component of Jewish tradition. In the Bible, Ezekiel describes in great details a personal vision of God’s chariot. The Serah Gray Research Headquarters with help from a dowser and the renown, late Israeli archeologist Ygael Yadin “misinterpreted” the text and concluded that God’s Chariot crashed somewhere in California. The resulting investigations and excavations near San Francisco are displayed as the artifacts found during the excavations along with other data relating to the accident.
