Josh Gates chases one of archaeology's most legendary quests: the Ark of the Covenant, the gold-covered chest said to house the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments.

The expedition takes Gates into previously unfilmed underground chambers in Jerusalem and follows trails to Ethiopian sites where local traditions insist the sacred relic remains hidden.
