The Ark of the Covenant, which the ancient Israelites revered as the embodiment of the Lord himself, as a sign of his presence on earth and an instrument of his inexplicable will, is one of the most famous and mysterious biblical artifacts. According to legend, this casket, lined with pure gold, contained stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were written by the finger of God. Only Moses and King Solomon, who knew the “Egyptian sciences,” could control the ark and, with the help of it, talk with the Almighty. Many tried to penetrate the secret of the ark. She inspired treasure hunters to organize numerous expeditions. Crusaders, Templars, Jesuits, Masons, and Nazis searched for the ancient relic. And only the English researcher Graham Hancock, author of the bestsellers “Traces of the Gods” and “The Power of the Talisman,” managed to discover traces of the lost ark. Based on historical documents and evidence later than the biblical texts, Hancock determined what the Ark of the Covenant actually was, where it might have gone after Solomon's death, and where it is now.
