Description:
Tudor Parfitt, a traveler and scholar described by many as a British Indiana Jones, crossed Africa to solve the puzzle of the Lemba tribe found throughout Southern Africa. Are they really Jews as they claim? Do they have any connection with the tales of King Solomon's mines, the lost ark of the covenant, or the gold land of Ophir? Where is their fabled lost city? Traveling through Southern Africa and the Middle East in search of a myth he meets an extraordinary variety of people -- an African Rain Queen, freedom fighters, prospectors, prostitutes, tribal chiefs, witch doctors and sages -- and reveals a new chapter in African history. And in a fascinating epilogue, which brings to bear modern-day DNA evidence, he unearths startling new facets of Jewish history as well.
