There is a lot to say, but one thing that really stands out to me for modern implications is his commentary about what happened to the Templars. In fact, I sent this next paragraph to my friend after reading it: My Comment to be read after the article How was the Shamir utilized if it was alpha radiation? Meaning, the builders could not just hold it, right? Seems like they would have needed to construct a holder of lead or something. Because if you held it directly in order to cut stone, it would go right through your fingers I have heard that the Knights Templar had the Shamir when they built the stone churches at Lalibela, Ethiopia in See pages , of "Sign and the Seal" by Graham Hancock.
Since the Scottish Freemasons and Portuguese Order of Christ inherited anything left of the Templars ibid, page , I suggest that one of these two groups or both may even today possess the Shamir. Maybe they are waiting for the appointed time to share this with the true builders of the Third Temple T3. This has stunning implications. I first read "The Sign and the Seal" back in the really 90's and was just blown away.
As an Orthodox Christian I knew roughly what Graham Hancock was talking about, but it was't until I read his book that my general understanding about the Journey of the Ark of the Covenant was clarified and a much bigger and clearer story of it's journey was established. Hancock presents a facts based evidence driven account of how the Ark of the Covenant went from Jerusalem, to Egypt and finally down to Ethiopia, and is currently revered and protected by the Holy Ethiopian Orthodox Church. I strongly recommend "The Sign and the Seal" for all who are interested in this story of of the Ark's journey, and the Providential Hard of God in protecting His Ark and placing it in the hands of Humble and Faithful servants down in Ethiopia.
I first read this in , and I thought it was grand. That it made a good case too.

Since then, however, author Graham Hancock has sort of one off the deep end. So, with my second reading, what would I find? I find Hancock's travelogues interesting. I find his analysis of sculpture at Chartres, his exegesis of the grail literature, and his reading of history reasonable, supportable, and interesting.
The Sign and the Seal: The Quest for the Lost Ark of the Covenant by Graham Hancock
I don't think he makes any logical leap too far. Is it a far-fetched theory?
But this is a book about an object most people would today consider a myth. Hancock himself thinks it's a magic box made with some unknown civilization's technology by Moses. That, in some twists and turns, is the book. It makes good sense.
The Sign And The Seal (1992)
Like Munro-Hay, others in the scholarly community call it drivel, but Hancock does make some points that need consideration. I think, in most places, Hancock makes a good case. If you believe in the literal truth of the Bible, Hancock does not. He thinks the Ark is a magic box done with ancient technological trickery.
The Sign and the Seal Quotes
The book sold well, but received negative reviews from critics. But mostly it's a whacking big dose of amateur scholarship alloyed with a fervid imagination and the kind of narrative that comes in handy when telling ghost stories around a campfire. Highly recommended for conspiracy fans; unsuitable for historians and archaeologists.
