Synopsis

The fate of the Lost Ark of the Covenant is one of the great historical mysteries of all time. To believers, the Ark is the legendary vessel holding the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. The Bible contains hundreds of references to the Ark's power to level mountains, destroy armies, and lay waste to cities. The Ark itself, however, mysteriously disappears from recorded history sometime after the building of the Temple of Solomon.

After ten years of searching through the dusty archives of Europe and the Middle East, as well as braving the real-life dangers of a bloody civil war in Ethiopia, Graham Hancock has succeeded where scores of others have failed. This intrepid journalist has tracked down the true story behind the myths and legends—revealing where the Ark is today, how it got there, and why it remains hidden.

Part fascinating scholarship and part entertaining adventure yarn, tying together some of the most intriguing tales of all time—from the Knights Templar and Prester John to Parsival and the Holy Grail—this book will appeal to anyone fascinated by the revelation of hidden truths and the discovery of secret mysteries.

This appears to be the first 'alternate history' book published by Hancock, a spin-off from his previous years of work in Ethiopia which benefits from the access he had to officialdom there.

Goodreads review by Jed on January 05, 2011

Mind-blowing book! Some of the parallels he finds are stunning, among, for example, the Old Testament description of the Hebrews' celebration when the Ark of the Covenant, carried on the shoulders of the priests, was placed in Solomon's Temple & the depiction on the wall of an ancient Egyptian templ......more

Goodreads review by Brandy on October 19, 2012

OK, after this, I'll be as caught up as I'm going to get. It might be a while before I post again, as what I'm currently reading is an unpublished manuscript, and the book up after that doesn't look like a quick read at all. The final book to mention at the end of what amounts for me to be a flurry......more
