Legendary Weapons in BI?

Well the Arc of the Covenant supposedly destroys entire armies with a supernatural energy if carried before it. Some people say that it may have contained something radioactive. Maybe something dropped by a passing alien spaceship who knows.
The Holy Grail, well of course that resores life to anyone who drinks from it as it held the blood of christ, who we all know was an alien
So we can change the name of the game to alien invasion.

Yes, God carved the 10 commandments in Krytonite...

Techinally, the ark itself never destroyed armies. It was just a symbol of God. It served to represent the state of the covenant. When the nation turend to Baal worship as they did, God would not protect them, not even the ark. Joshua 7:1-6, 1 Samuel 4:1-11 are examples of that, the Ark being captured by the Philitines in the latter. At 1 Samuel 6:11-21 and also at Numbers 4:6, 20 it was returned by the Philistines after it was catured because the Philistines were afraid of it, God punished the people for looking at it in a wrong(disrespectful) way.

When it was used faithfully, it dried up the Jordan for the Israelites to cross into the land and siege Jericho. The Philistines were afraid of it at 1 Samuel 4:6-8 when they found out the Israelites brought it into their camp and thus proceeded to run away. After the temple was built, it stayed in Jerusalem though sometime between Solomon and Josiah it was moved to somewhere else. The destruction of Sennacherib's army wasn't attributed to its presense either and it didn't protect the city from being conquered by the Babylonians.

It was lost sometime after Josiah became king and before the Babylonian conquest. Jeremiah 3:16, 17 foretold a time when the ark would be gone, a time when it would not be missed, and a time when his followers would not needed. This being after the Mosaic Covenant was disolved at the last supper.

Just a little historical proof. Wouldn't it be a little too campy anyways?

As for the Rod of Moses, it was destroyed because people tried to worship it. The jar of Manna and Staff of Aaron were eventually removed from the ark so that it contained only the commandments.

If you want a cool weapon, mod in Attila the Hun's war-god sword.
