This book takes you from Atlantis to the Holy Grail and bloodline. A very interesting idea about a crystal formation that was the power source for the Ark of the Covenant and use in building the Pyramids. The crystal resonated just right over land areas that were in turmoil regularly because of eathquake or volcanic activity. This would allow humans to attain a euphoric or trance like state. The wise men, holy men, shamans of the world were the keepers of the secret of how these crystals worked. The path of the crystal starts in Lemuria (Atlantis) and passes to other areas of the world with the catastrophic demise of Atlantis.
And if anything it was a fun read.

Opening the Ark of the Covenant: The Secret Power of the Ancients, the Knights Templar Connection, And the Search for the Holy Grail by Frank Joseph and Laura Beaudoin is an excellent, fascinating and certainly thought provoking book. This should come as no surprise given the fact that co-author Frank Joseph is the editor of Ancient American magazine, and is the author of the books Atlantis Encyclopedia and Discovering the Mysteries of Ancient America.

This book has a timeline for the existence of the Ark of the Covenant and also some informed speculation about the Ark being in America. Another topic that this book covers well is the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids.

This is a great reference work to have on hand.

OPENING THE ARK OF THE COVENANT: THE SECRET POWER OF THE ANCIENTS, THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR CONNECTION, AND THE SEARCH FOR THE HOLY GRAIL will reach both new age and mainstream spirituality holdings, comes from the editor-in-chief of the popular science magazine Ancient America and a co-author with direct ancestors connected to the Crusader kings in the 12th and 13th centuries, and provides worldwide research into the Ark's disappearance which proves its facts. An engrossing analysis of Ark representations and documents evolves.

I like some of Frank Joseph's books but this one has no merit. Merely a speculation without any solid fundation. If you want a good book about the true Ark of Covenant and its possible locations, read Randall Price book.
