Journeys to the Ends of the Earth - Season 3 Episode 3 Keepers of the Lost Ark (Ethiopia)

David heads high into the Ethiopian Cush - a place known to the ancients as Punt, The Land Of Ghosts - in search of The Lost Ark. The “lost” Ark of the Covenant is believed to be the most powerful object ever made by man. Its frightening power turned the Jews from Egyptian slaves into a powerful people of destiny. It destroyed whomsoever it touched. It razed cities to the ground. Then in 586BC it disappeared. It’s believed to have ended up in Ethiopia & that’s why David’s gone there. Not in search of the Ark itself - no mortal can look at it without being consumed by fire - but in search of those who look after it, the Keepers of the Lost Ark.
