Publisher's summary

  • Keepers of the ark of the covenant
  • The garden of Eden
  • The first Christian empire
  • 1,000 years Jewish before Christ
  • Ethiopia makes remarkable claims!

The future of civilization is shifting. Some say to an Asian world, others a Muslim world, or perhaps to a "New World Order" (if China and Islam do not win the day). However, a new book offers the little considered thesis that Ethiopia, unknown as a majority Christian nation and the first Christian empire, could be the next epicenter of civilization.

Unknown Empire begins with a barefoot Ethiopian army defeating thousands of European soldiers in 1896. As the only African nation to never be conquered, they defeated Mussolini during WWII. With the West dying but Africa booming, Ethiopia faces population control leaders such as Bill Gates and the U.N. in an epic confrontation for the future of civilization.

In all these confrontations, the ark of the covenant plays a central role for Ethiopians who believe that they have held the world's most famous object since before the time of Christ. The author explores the ark claim throughout and weaves in the claims of Eden and empire. Utilizing his trademark style - history with a plot - Dean W. Arnold provides a unique and edifying experience, a "nonfiction novel" where every exciting action and quote is true.

Seriously good!

As a Orthodox Christian, I found this book fascinating. I had very little knowledge of Ethiopia before this book, but I am pleased to say that Ethiopia is now a country that I feel I must visit once before I die.

Well worth it.

A well researched, well written, book that everyone should have in their audio or physical library - especially Orthodox Christians.

Non-Fiction That Reads Like Fiction

I confess having a hard time finishing non-fiction books, but this book kept me hooked and excited to find out what happens next! This is partly due to his unusual writing style. He tells several parallel stories in pieces throughout the book, and tells them in an exciting narrative way that really hooked me. This was a country I knew nothing about before this and now I can see how important it is, and has always been. He is also an outstanding researcher, going out of his way and even paying people via Craigslist to hunt down rare primary sources. For this reason I have confidence in what he reports.

Exceeded my expectations

This book is researched very well. There are a few points I disagreed with but the information is presented clearly and respectfully to the culture. I had no idea this book would touch on some of the sinister things globalists are attempting in Ethiopia currently and over the years. The authors integrity in sharing his research is felt.

Jah!!! Rastafari lives.

Much more than I expected

If one begins this book thinking it is only about Ethiopia, one will be greatly surprised.

What is true?

I love how the author covers the possibilities. I 100% believe what he says about the attempts to depopulate the earth, but spent way to much time on Mussolini, Sanger and history that doesn’t have much to do with the Ethiopian church or Ark of the Covenant….Overall, I highly recommend this book!!

First half was good

The first half was really good, I enjoyed learning about Ethiopian history, culture, national identity but then it started going into conspiracy theories, a little at first so I just ignored it, but the last 3 hours were unbearable — full on global conspiracy nonsense!

Conspiracy laden

The author is not an expert and much of the book is focused on conspiracy theories that have little to do with Ethiopia.

Came for history, got Conspiracies

Interesting history not often heard but clouded by the author including Bill gates depopulation theories. I do not believe Bill Gates and contraception conspiracies to be vital to telling Ethiopia’s history
