Quest for the Lost Ark of the Covenant

A documentary reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark", this film follows the travels of British journalist and author Graham Hancock in his search for traces of the lost Ark of the Covenant. The Ark is the vessel believed to contain the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses. Hancock follows the trail of the Ark through Israel, Egypt, the Nile Valley and Ethiopia, until his meeting with the only person who may see and touch it: Tesfa Mariam, the Guardian of the Ark. According to Hancock, who has been obsessed with his search for the past 13 years, the Ark remains secretly preserved today somewhere in Axum, the holy city of Ethiopia.
