The background to “Legacy Of The Sphinx” is an ancient mystery – perhaps one of the greatest
mysteries of them all: what happened to Ark of the Covenant after the reign of Solomon, a thousand
years before Christ?
It is however, a lot more than just “another” biblical mystery, touching on the role of the Roman
Catholic Church in the modern world; the organisation and aims of the Society of Jesus
(the Jesuits); and the latest, cutting edge developments in the physical sciences.
It is also a romance: one between a disillusioned Jesuit priest and a Carmelite nun, yet to take
her final vows, who was transferred into a Carmlelite institution as a novice at the age of 15.
The involvement of both the Vatican and the “Knights Templar” in the fictional events leading to
the remnants of the Ark being buried in modern-day Cornwall, lends a real cutting edge to the
story. As does the incredible story of the Exodus, the controversy surrounding the identity of
Moses; and the contents and capabilities of the Ark itself.

“It will be compared with "that book" which set the trend for biblical mysteries. Let me tell
you – it’s a whole lot better." Steve Royle – BBC Radio Lancashire Presenter
"What really happened all those years ago in the fearsome deserts of the Middle East? When
one extraordinary man led a whole tribe of people from one country to another? Well, we don’t
know . . . but this great story suggests an answer." Peter Leary, Editor and Film Maker
