Summary
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.

Excellent
Amazing research and tenacity. Great story-telling. Very well read. I hope Graham Hancock will be appreciated by the mainstream media for the incredible research and work that go in to all his books. His contribution to our knowledge of the world of antiquity is immeasurable.

How little we know of antiquity
Very enjoyable account of a hunt for the ark of the covenant. It must have been an incredible journey for the author and this really comes across. As ever with Hancock, there are some brilliant incentive ideas mixed up with a bit of artistic licence. Prefer Hancocks work whrm he narrates it himself

Good if your into it.
A detailed tale of Graham Hancock’s first foray into pseudo-archeology as he goes full Indiana Jones. More travel journal than ‘fact’ hunting but still a good listen if you’re already a fan.

Full of intrigue
Another fascinating book by Graham Hancock. Itya pity he isn’t narrating it. The narrator does a reasonable job but there are some odd internations here and there.

Choice of narrator…
Not the best choice of narrator for this book sadly, would enjoy listening to Steven Crossly on say… a child’s story book but not for this content.

The Sign and the Seal
I was very disappointed with this book. I found it long and laborious with absolutely nothing to offer at the end.
