Publisher Description
A compelling brew of mystery, crime, and science revealing the details behind the search for the lost Ark of the Covenant.
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 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.

Fun read!
Just a fun read. Archaeology, Religion, and Political Drama always works. Enjoyed it thoroughly. I think Graham is on the right track with his argument. I wonder how much else has been uncovered since the 1990’s. Either way, you can’t go wrong with this book if you take it for what it is, a personal journey to reveal a mystery that’s thousands of years old. Makes you think!

Awesome book a must read!
Well written Non-fiction mystery
I really enjoyed this book. Graham was his own biggest critic throughout, constantly questioning his own fantastic beliefs which made it a very honest read. Besides that he did an immense amount of research as seen in the references along the way.
