Book Synopsis

The location of the Arc of the Covenant is a mystery that is thousandsof years old.

This book recounts the investigation of a secret in the south of France. As the investigation developed, it became apparent that this puzzle involved Freemasonry ... and was uncovering a grand conspiracy.

THE QUESTIONS:
-Are the Knights Templar and Freemasons related?
-Do they still exist today?
-If they were the guardians of the Ark of the Covenant, where is it now?
-Is there anything else, apart from guarding the Ark, that these people are trying to achieve? AND THE CLUES:
-The importance of the angle 33
-Sacred geometrical squaring of a circle
-Nineteenth-century survey map of Jerusalem
-Codes hidden within the Masonic Royal Arch ritual, two Grand Officers' jewels, and the Grand Master's jewel
-The fascination that the Masonic ritual compilers had with the #3
-The sacred symbol yodh from the ceiling of the Great Temple in the Grand Lodge

"Not since Hancock's Sign and the Seal has so plausible and logical a theory been put forth involving the Templars and the Ark of the Covenant. In fact the publication of this book may well see many Hancock supporters changing their thinking, including Mr. Hancock himself." Stephen Dafoe, Grand Historian for the Sovereign Great Priory of Canada Knights Templar
