This presentation has nothing going for it...Aside from the narrator quoting long passages directly out of scripture,and a few second-rate experts making bold if otherwise speculative statements,this program says very little about where the ark may be,or what may have happened to it...

In this program we are introduced to the idea of the Ark of the Covenant being kept safe in Ethiopia. The entire program focuses on how the Ark could have been moved from the Temple to Ethiopia and from that perspective it is fascinating. An understanding of cultural significance evolves and a deeper understanding of a culture still focusing on the Ark of the Covenant may be a surprise to many. If you have any interest in researching this topic, then this will be a brief introduction to a fascinating idea of spiritual significance.

~The Rebecca Review

This well-produced DVD is an excellent summary of various theories of what happened to the fabled Ark of the Covenant. The theories range from nonexistence to hidden under Jerusalem's Temple Mount in a secret chamber. The DVD is almost entirely about the Ethiopian and Temple Mount theroies. The most interesting aspect is how the 2 theories are merged into a coherent whole. Tantalizing is the fact that there may be 2 Arks, both of which the locations are known but access is prohibited. Both the photography and narration are very good. Bibical scholars provide good commentary. My only criticism is of the reenactments. Most are too "Hollywood" with the actors looking like Caucasians dressed in costumes rather than ancient Isrealites. Especially recommended for those who like Biblical mysteries.

Interesting perspective -- but not exactly what I was looking for on the Ark. I had hoped this was more spiritual and Biblical -- rather than a compliation on the rumors of where the ark might be. i am teaching the Sanctuary and the meaning behind the various articles contained in the Sanctuary -- hence my interest.

I found this DVD about the Ark of the Covenant very enlightening. Some of the information I had already discovered when doing searches in other areas, but the way the information is presented gives an excellent overview of not only the history, but the possible places where the Ark may be. It gives a very good documentary and is well worth seeing.

The Old Testament is strangely silent regarding the last known location of the Ark of the Covenant. This video offered some very logical and substantial possibilities, and reasons, for where the Ark may be to this day. A fascinating journey. Well worth viewing.
