Book Overview

The fact of the Lost Ark of the Covenant is one of the grant historical mysteries of all time. To believers, the Ark is the legendary vesel 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, the discovery of secret mysteries.

Historical facts and fictions.

The Sign and the Seal by Graham Hancock is one of the best researched books on the contradictions of traditional, accepted histories and logical interpretations of finds and texts of the past. Of special interest to me is "The Finger of God", which the Egyptian priests tell Pharaoh, Moses has. The tantalizing thought that this thing could be knocking around somewhere in Ethiopia with the Ark is enough to make me want to...

great religion/history book

While it does not definitvely answer the wuestion of the fate of the Ark of the Covenant, this book presents a thorough and intersting look into the history, culture and religion of Ethiopia - both Christian and Jewish. Ethuiopia is a fascinating country whether they have the Ark or not!

educational and entertaining

Cover to cover it is an engaging read. It doesn't matter if you don't agree with some of his conclusions and intrepretations it is still an educational and entertaining read. It describes a rich and ancient history of a country that the average North American would otherwise not know anything about. I would recommend it to any one interested in biblical history.

Well researched, but some conclusions are debatable

I was highly impressed with Graham Hancock's committment to completing his quest and telling his story. He did so at the cost of his family, which is regretable. I much appriciate his sacrifice for all of us. It is obvious that he put a great deal of time, research and effort into his work. We now have a more clearer story of the "FOUND" Ark of the Covenant of God; "found" because I do believe it is in Ethiopia. However,...
