Crusader Gold by David GibbinsDescription: From the fall of Rome to the last days of the Nazis: the quest for the world’s greatest lost treasure begins …
THE HOLIEST OF TREASURES. The massive gold menorah – a sacred golden lampstand – symbol of the Jewish faith, torn from its home in Jerusalem’s Holy Temple during the final sack of the city.
A HISTORICAL SYMBOL. Carried in triumph through Rome, it came to represent the Empire’s relentless conquest of people and faiths the world over. When the Roman Empire’s capital moved to Constantinople, the menorah went with it.
THE FINAL CRUSADE. But it had vanished when the bloodthirsty Crusaders plundered the city in 1204.
AND TO THIS DAY NO ONE KNOWS WHERE IT IS.
