The past week included final testing of equipment and procedures in the desert in Arizona. Eric designed, built, and tested a harness which can be suspended inside the frame of a helicopter to isolate the camera in its gyroscopic mount from all aircraft vibration.
The project continues to acquire excellent contacts and consultants. In addition to those already involved we've established productive communication with the Israeli Ambassador to the Evangelical Communities in America.
We're receiving extremely valuable assistance from an award-winning producer through a contact of Eric's dating back to the time when Eric was performing and touring with the New Christy Minstrels. He has been instrumental in arranging contacts for us at the W.F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem.
We are extremely grateful for the wide range of consultants who have taken an interest in our project as they considerably expand the scope of what we're going to be able to accomplish for the reader community.
We have also acquired some excellent satellite-assisted 3D terrain mapping software that we will be using for the creation of a series of animated maps to support the Urantia Book story.
Keep in touch here! You can also check the project website at Joshua-ben-Joseph.org.
Thought about you two today in Jerusalem - Palm Sunday - and I know that your videoing of the events there, along with your integration of teachings from Part Four - will make us all feel closer to what happened today and what happened 2,000 years ago. The footage you've posted on youtube so far is beautiful, and we're all looking forward to more glimpses into your activities.
