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.

About the Author: The late Stuart Munro-Hay was among the foremost Western authorities on Ethiopian history and culture. He is the author of Ethiopia, the Unknown Land, also by I.B.Tauris.
