This book was an entertaining read, but the author's theories must be taken with a very large grain of salt.
In the book, Mr. Hancock claims that the Ark is in Axum, Ethiopia.
I am very much aware of Axum, but the problem is every tribe in that area claims to have the original Ark. Although it is interesting that they practice a very old form of Judiasm which could indicate they came from Israel at the time the Ark was taken away into hiding.
And I have talked to Ethiopians who insist the Ark is in Axum. Of all of Mr. Hancock's book on "alternative history," this is the most credible, IMHO.
