Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great ride through time
Review: Hancock takes you on a ride of a lifetime through the history of the grail legend, from Chartes to Scotland to the Holy Land to Ethiopia. This is a fast read for those interested in this subject. I read this book in three weeks. I could not put it down.

Hancock connects the dots. If this is true, then a question of the ages may very well have been answered.

This book makes sense. It is well researched, and Hancock actually travelled to these many places for research.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good read, but where's the beef??
Review: I tend to be fairly skeptical but enjoy history, especially when written by someone who knows how to keep the reader's interest. I think Hancock makes a very good case for the Ark being in Ethiopia...in fact, just to be sure he wasn't 'sandbaggin' me, I even bothered to check some of the authorities he quotes as "scholars" and indeed he was scrupitiously honest.
I agree with another reviewer here that the ending was more than a small disappointment but the trip was overall worth it.

Well-written, and recommended.
