Description
The Quest for the Ark of the Covenant: The True History of the Tablets of Moses by Stuart Munro-Hay. In Ethiopia's ancient chapel of Mary of Zion, an object is kept that has been revered as the most important religious relic of all time. This tabota Seyon, known as the Ark of the Covenant, is said to be the very same one constructed by Moses at Sinai and used to destroy Jericho's walls. Its history is shrouded in legend, with stories of its arrival in Jerusalem and later Ethiopia attributed to King David and Solomon. But what truth lies behind these tales? Stuart Munro-Hay delves into ancient texts and local stories to uncover the mystery of the Ark. He scrutinises every mention of the Ark in Ethiopian records and tests every theory before reaching his conclusion. This book promises to settle the debate surrounding the Ark's existence once and for all. 288 pages, paperback edition, published October 2006 by I.B. Tauris.
