4.0 out of 5 stars A Tantalizing Tale, February 6, 2003

By	Al Mudrow (Orem, Utah United States) - See all my reviews

This is possibly the second most peculiar book I have read, the most peculiar being Mr. Boren's "The Widow's Son". In "Following the Ark of the Covenant", The Borens weave a tantalizing tale linking lost ice age civilizations, Egyptian/Jewish religious elements, the Knights Templar, Welsh Indians, Mormon lore and Ute history. Interesting historical facts are interwoven with creative speculation to produce extraordinary conclusions. Whether or not the reader agrees with these conclusions, does not detract from the fascinating nature of the narrative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Following The Ark of the Covenant, November 21, 2000

By	Doc Hansen (Orem, Utah USA) - See all my reviews

Having read other books by Kerry and Lisa Boren, I found this book to be of the same exhaustive and historically based research. The book takes you from the earliest history of the ark of the covenant as told in the the Old Testiment to a connection with such men as Prince Madoc, Francis Bacon and the Knights Templar who have all left their mark and inscriptions in America. There is a hill in Sanpete Valley in central Utah which was considered sacred by local indians even before the first mormon pioneer settlement was established in 1849. The remains of an ancient temple could be seen atop the hill. In 1960 a local resident claimed to have discovered a cave east of the hill complete with 2 mummies dressed in the garb of Knights Templar. Did knights bring something they had found many years earlier under the temple mount in Jerusalem and deposited it into a hill in Utah? You be the judge.
