  This is a description of an often hazardous journey across Africa to solve the mystery of the Lemba people, who claim to be a lost Jewish tribe from a fabled city called Sena, and who sought the author's help in tracing their origins. As the story unfolds it becomes clear that this is an expedition not only through unfrequented territory, but also through the terrain of myths - involving the Queen of Sheba, lost Jewish kingdoms, King Solomon's mines and Ophir, the legendary biblical land of gold. Dr Parfitt is also the author of Operation Moses and The Thirteenth Gate - Travels Among the Lost Tribes of Israel .
