“A real-life Indiana Jones” narrates his attempt to find a sacred religious relic in an account “cinematic in tone, with scenes of heartstopping action” (Booklist). After 2,500 Years of Mystery, the Truth About the Ark of the Covenant Is Revealed The Lost Ark of the Covenant is the real-life account of an astounding quest—professor Tudor Parfitt's effort to recover the revered artifact that contained the Ten Commandments, sacred to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. With painstaking historical scholarship, groundbreaking genetic science, and fascinating on-the-ground discoveries, Parfitt, who the Wall Street Journal calls “a British Indiana Jones,” debunks the previous myths and reveals the shocking history of the Ark and its keepers. “It’s worthy of a Spielberg epic: an intrepid British don’s 20-year mission to find the Lost Ark of the Covenant.” —Daily Mail “Parfitt’s passionately crafted new theory, like his first, could eventually be proven right.” —Time Magazine “Parfitt’s scholarly, fascinating work explains and explodes a pervasive myth.” —The Times “This real-life account [is] a gripping . . . yarn. Recommended.” —Library Journal
