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 10 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 is the kind of creative thinking that is helpful to break with long-held beliefs established on empty facts. The author is credible and delivers well researched data for the reader to make up their own mind. I loved this book and would suggest it to anyone looking to think outside the box.

Great book full of myths and wonder

I have listened to other books by the author and seen some of the shows. He is amazing in his complete review and analysis of available information (however rare). His books are lengthy, but reading or listening to them is time well spent.

Great history lesson

Graham Hancock brings you there with him eventide. More so, with his own narration.

An adventure begins.

Regardless of how you feel about Hancock's views of what the arc is or general theme of the book, learning about the Ethiopian Jews and Christians was super interesting.

fun to learn about religion in Ethiopia

So smart, well spoken, factual, accurate, great revealing stories told by the man himself! He is every bit as human in real life too, I’ve met him and i admire his work.

All need to know this info, thank you

As usual, Graham Hancock breaths life into otherwise mundane details, weaving together facts from many ancient and modern sources to form a coherent and tantalizing picture of something most of the world would have soon lost to time. Thank you, Graham, for your continued contribution to the search for answer to some of humanities biggest questions. You sir, are a real life Indiana Jones.

Absolutely Fantastic Read

At first I was hesitant on getting this audio book, I prefer to hear Graham’s voice over someone else’s. But this Narrator did a pretty good job. I listen to audio books at work and before bed and he can keep me interested and also relax me when I’m laying in bed just listening. So if your like me and almost didn’t get this audio book due to it not being Graham’s Voice don’t. It’s a very great listen!

Not a bad Narrator

The book is awesome, like most of Grahams books. The narrator sounds like an old man reading a bedtime story to his grandkids. Very interesting material and I would still recommend it.

Let Graham read his own book.
