God's Gold charts the fate of the greatest religious treasure in history, the key symbols of the Jewish faith - looted from the Temple of Jerusalem. The golden candelabrum, silver trumpets and bejewelled table were ransacked by the Roman emperor Vespasian in AD 70. They were cast adrift in Mediterranean lands, which saw 550 years of turbulent history and the rule of four different civilisations. Now, only an intriguing trail of clues remains as to their whereabouts. The Temple treasure is an immeasurably precious hoard, but it has yet greater significance as a symbol of man's communications with God. The gold is central to Israel's dreams for messianic redemption and its discovery could signify the return to an age of biblical sacrifice. Using untapped historical texts and new archaeological sources, Sean Kingsley reveals the incredible history of this treasure, its composition and religious, political and financial meaning across the ages. Unexpected discoveries send him on a physical pilgrimage to trace the treasure's destiny, which exposes facts more astonishing than fiction. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Anyone one want to go to Tunisia, Constinople, or Jerusalem one day with me? Last month, I read a book like Da Vinci code searching for the Jewish antiquity menorah. this was a non-fiction account of man searching for the menorah. Now, I understand a little more about the constant troubles in the Middle East (in particular Jerusalem) and a little more of the plight of the Jewish people throughout history.
The Jewish culture seems to be popping up in my life a lot lately. Not sure what that means. I still plan on eating bacon. :) ( )
