Alt: A short clip from the film Raiders of the Lost Ark. The shot is dark, close up, on highlighted faces. The shot pans down from a man dramatically speaking to a frightened woman behind him. The text reads, Don’t look at it. Shut your eyes. Don’t look at it no matter what happens. if you know the film, you know the Nazis have kidnapped and tied up the two heroes of the film, and are about to open the ark of the covenant. Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones tells Marion Ravenwood - played by Karen Allen - to not look at the opening of the Ark. Because the power in the Ark will kill them. Turns out the movie support this theory. When the Nazis look into the face of God, their faces melt off and they are turned to dust. Let that be a lesson to those who want to harness the power of god when the arc of the covenant opened and those who may want to read this insipid money grab of outrage bait pretending to be a book.
