Munro-Hay sleights Graham Hancock, in a polite, British way. You get the feeling Hancock didn't do his research all too well.
Some neat pictures, but needed more. One map, but it needed a better one. Or more. Needed a set of dynastic timelines too. It was hard keeping every king and prince in Ethiopia in order. Good footnotes, but no bibliography. Good documents in the appendix. Serviceable index.
What's in that little chapel in Axum, Ethiopia? Who knows? Who can know? But... Munro-Hay reprints a section of a 1998 New York Times article on Axum and the Ark of the Covenant where the ark's guardian seems to refer to slabs, not a box-like ark:
"Instead, they [the guardians] say their ark is a white stone tablet inscribed with the Ten Commandments and kept in a shallow solid-gold case.... [...] They said the tablet is about 2 1/2 feet long and 1 1/2 inches thick and is housed in a gold box three inches thick, with a hinged lid and no designs.... [...] The monks said the relic seemed to have paranormal powers. They said that at night it sometimes appeared to give off light. They also said it was hard to look at the tablet in daylight because it was so smooth and mirrorlike."… (meer)
