5.0 out of 5 stars An easy-to-follow journey for the reader, July 5, 1998

This review is from: The Sign And The Seal - The Quest For The Lost Ark Of The Covenant (Paperback)

This book was the first of Graham Hancock's I ever read. Although the size was, at first, daunting, I quickly was drawn into the book as it contextualizes the history surrounding the Ark of the Covenant to explain where others quests may have gone awry. Hancock enables the reader to retrace the possible/probable trail the Ark may have taken and explains each twist and turn with basic logic. I was able to read it in 3 days and retained enough to retell the tale during 3 a.m. guard duty shifts to my fellow freezing comrades, making the time pass quickly and opening up more lively conversation than you usually find guarding an empty perimeter in the snow. I loaned it to a professor and have yet to get it back. Of course, now my brother has a copy. A great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars educational and entertaining, November 6, 2004

This review is from: The Sign And The Seal (Hardcover)

Cover to cover it is an engaging read. It doesn't matter if you don't agree with some of his conclusions and intrepretations it is still an educational and entertaining read. It describes a rich and ancient history of a country that the average North American would otherwise not know anything about. I would recommend it to any one interested in biblical history.

This review is from: The Sign And The Seal (Hardcover)

If you are interested in the mystique of the lost Egyptian wisdom, the Ark, Atlantis, mysteries of the Bible, the Knights Templar,or just plain enjoy reading a good book, this one is a must! I believe that Graham Hancock has found the true resting place for the Ark of the Covenant.
