Opening the Ark of the Covenant
"In their exciting new book Opening the Ark of the Covenant,  Frank Joseph and Laura Beaudoin amass an almost staggering amount of  scholarly research. But no reader, experienced or novice to works of such  magnitude, should be put off by the multilayered investigations revealed in  this book. The text moves along with dramatic twists and turns and  surprises, and readers will find themselves literally swept away by one  astonishing revelation after another.Joseph and Beaudoin discover the "ark" first as an amazing power source  in the ancient land of Lemuria, then follow it to Atlantis, Egypt,  Jerusalem, France, and its possible present resting place. Whether this  instrument of unmeasurable spiritual and physical power is known as the  Phoenix Stone, the Fire Stone, the Transformer of the World, the Emerald  Tablet, or the Ark of the Covenant, it has been guarded throughout its vast  history by such mysterious secret societies as the Tuoaic Brotherhood of  Atlantis, the Watchers of Giza, the Levite Priesthood, the Order of the  Holy Sepulcher, the Templars, the Cathars, or the Ville-Maries. Truly, this  superb work will convince the most aloof reader that the Stone of Destiny,  wherever its present location, retains its power and continues to shape the  future of the world."--Brad Steiger, author of Atlantis Rising and Revelation: The Divine  Fire"Opening the Ark of the Covenant, take us on a whirlwind journey filled  with people of many cultures, with places around the world, and with things  that ultimately are part of one of humankind's greatest mysteries. What  exactly is the Ark of the Covenant? Where did it come from? Where is it  now? The answers you find in this new work will surprise, excite and  sometimes perhaps even frighten you, but will always hold you tightly and  in focus. The Ark of many names, the cultures of many faces, the  particulars of various individuals and their roles in the mystery all come  together here to prove that neither history nor the future are any longer  what they used to be."--Lee Pennington, JOLE Productions, Producer of archaeological  documentaries, including Petroglyphs of Polynesia and Vikings in  America"In a thorough effort, author Frank Joseph weaves a tapestry with world  wide weft threads of human memory woven into warp threads of 11,600 years.  The resulting depiction of the travels of the Ark of the Covenant reveals  many new facets for closer examination. Joseph, who follows a consistent  belief about the powers of the stone within the Ark, skillfully weaves past  and recent events into the image."--Myron Paine, Ph D, author of Frozen Trail to Merica
