Is there a link between the Omphalos of Egyptian mythology - and The Ark of the covenant?

Question

Did one contain the other?

Both were talked of as having great power - The Omphalos seems to be a heavy inverted container - similar to a radiation shield of today. The BnBn stone it contained had "a fire about it" - enough to cause those gazing on it to get radiation burn (faces emerged radiant)

As the ark of the covenant was brought out of Egypt. - Where did Moses get it from?

Answer 1

According to the Book of Exodus, the ark was not brought out of Egypt, but created by the Israelites afterwards, working on instructions from God.  It contained the tablets on which the 10 commandments were written, the staff of Moses' brother Aaron, and a pot of golden manna, the food God sent to the Israelites to sustain them as they traveled through the desert.

If you study the bible as comparative literature you find that many of the stories are taken from older legends of other cultures.  Thus the idea of the ark may have been taken from these omphlos.
