Book synopsis

Puzzled by a passage in the Old Testament implying that the Ark of theCovenant-the most sacred item in monotheistic Judaism-was not onlytouched by forbidden human hands but that some of its contents had beenremoved, academician Gene Jinsiong Cho set out to learn the fate of thosemissing articles.Based on compelling evidence from linguistics, genetics, archaeology, andanthropology, Cho proposes that the sacred regalia of the ancient Hebrews werecarried by itinerant tribes through centuries of migration across Central Asia andfinally to the Japanese archipelago-where the articles (or their replicas) arepreserved to this day within the great shrines of Japan.
