Interesting. I feel most people view "Ark" as a means of escape from a disastrous situation.

You know,like the one in the Bible.

3. a place of protection or security; refuge; asylum.

Raiders of the Lost Ark?

I believe it is better defined as a protected box, locked, sheltered container, like a safe.

Was the Ark not a means of protecting something? It carried something important and kept it safe.
Just saying. Most people think of Noah's Ark. Not Indy.
