The Top-Secret Recipe
The recipe was protected in the Guaranty Bank in New York from 1919 to 1925 and then transferred to the Trust Company Bank. It was held there until 2011.
Nowadays, it is on exhibit for visitors to come close to, but they won’t be able to make out what the recipe says as there are thousands of pounds of metal preventing onlookers from learning how to concoct one of America’s most loved drinks.
Groom Box
The site is also known as the “Groom Box” due to its close location to Groom Lake. The area measures 6 by 10 miles, an area where airspace is also restricted. Unauthorized military planes that are caught flying over the area may face punishment.
The government is very secretive about the area which has led conspiracy theorists to formulate different theories about what the area is really used for. The area is monitored by cameras and underground motion sensors 24/7. Photography is banned and if you are caught moseying around the area, you can end up facing serious repercussions.
Coca-Cola Vault
The Coca-Cola recipe is so sacred and secretive, that the company stores it in a big closed vault where entering is most definitely off-limits. While there are no top-secret government operations or weapon development being carried out in the vault, the iconic recipe for America’s favorite and one of the oldest soft drinks is highly protected.
The drink was first created in 1886 and was one of many “cola” drinks on the market that claim to have health benefits.
Chapel of the Ark of the Covenant
According to the Book of Exodus, the Ark of the Covenant, also called the Ark of the Testimony, is a gold-covered wooden chest with a lid cover that contains the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. Some texts in the Hebrew Bible also describe the ark as having Aaron's rod and a pot of manna. Rumor has it that this chapel is the final resting place of the Ark of the Covenant.
Due to the righteousness of the area, nobody is allowed to see the Ark, including even the Ethiopian president.
Indiana Jones
However, there is a single monk who watches over the ark and never leaves the chapel grounds.
You may have heard of the Ark of the Covenant, even if you're not a Bible reader. "Indiana Jones" fans? Well, the professor-archaeologist-adventurer in the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark," goes looking for the Ark of the Covenant.
