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 tabota Seyon, Ark of the Covenant, the Ark of Zion. This
Ark is alleged to be no other than the Ark that Moses had
constructed at Sinai and which destroyed the walls of Jericho. It
was brought into Jerusalem by King David and installed in a
magnificent temple by King Solomon. Then, the story goes, it came
to Ethiopia of its own choice with the half-Ethiopian, half-Jewish
son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Are the legends true? Or is
this story a monumental deception? Is there any real proof or is it
the faith of a people alone that has created this Ark? From ancient
texts to local stories, from the Bible to the writings of sixteenth
and seventeenth century Jesuits, Stuart Munro-Hay traces the
extraordinary legend of Ethiopia's Ark in what is a triumph of
historical detective work. Munro-Hay scrutinises every mention of
the Ark in Ethiopian records and tests every theory 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.
