Episode 1: The Real Ark of the Covenant
Summary
Forbidden Histories investigate the ancient tale of the original 'Ark of the Covenant'. Follow Jamie Theakston as he tries to uncover more clues concerning the Ark and its mysterious journey across continents as we trace the Ark back to where many believe was its resting place, Ethiopia.
Review
It’s that staple of cable and satellite TV: the post-Da Vinci Code history programme, seeking The Truth (ie renegade hypotheses and conspiracy theories) behind ancient stories. And there’s nothing more popular than a biblical mystery (except maybe a Nazi one). So, series three of Forbidden History starts with the “ultimate treasure quest” – the hunt for the Ark of the Covenant.
“If anything’s going to survive from biblical times, it’s the Ark,” says one historian. So where is it? Ethiopia emerges as a contender. But it’s a complex quest, with many angles, and ultimately if feels like everyone’s floundering in the dark, trying to justify their own agenda.
