Synopsis

In a chapel in the old crenellated church of Mary of Zion in Aksum, Ethiopia, is kept an object that emperors, patriarchs and priests have assured the world is the most important religious relic of all time: the Ark of the Covenant. Are the legends true? Or is this story a monumental deception? In a triumph of historical detective work the acclaimed Ethiopia expert Stuart Munro-Hay traces the extraordinary legend of Ethiopia's Ark through ancient texts, local stories, from the Bible and from the writings of sixteenth and seventeenth century Jesuits up to modern times before he reaches his shocking conclusion. 'The Quest for the Ark of the Covenant' promises to settle the mystery of the Ark of the Covenant for once and for all.

Media Reviews
The Spectator, 16th April 2005. Review by Phillip Ziegler: 'The subject is fascinating... and the setting as exotic as could be asked for. This book is to be commended to anyone interested in Ethiopia, biblical history or the process of scholarly investigation.' 'Munro-Hay is to be congratulated in producing a well-disciplined piece of deeply researched scholarship.' - Minerva
