Some have argued the Biblical Ark of Covenant was in fact designed to

Yeah the first Extra Terrestrial Boom Box.


Electrostatic loudspeaker perhaps? It's the wrong shape and size, but
it might be possible with sufficiently thin gold leaf. The problem is
that it would be really fragile, and not suitable for dragging across
the desert.

The traditional inscription on the ark was translated to:
"No User Serviceable Parts Inside".

Ever since touching the arc electrocuted and killed Uzzah, inumerable
safety organizations have gone on a rampage producing draconian safety
rules and regulations. Because of the obvious high voltage, the boom
box ark was probably based on tubes, not semiconductors.
