Summary: Nonsense
Review: A collection of garbled buzzwords and zero understanding of real physics; false references to non-existent research. Good for a laugh only. Sad to say many will mistake this for fact. That any appreciable number of people would like this book is a testament to the low level of general science education and a widespread incomprehension of physics; and also to the failure of real science to address transcendental matters, leaving the field open to delusional authors and hucksters.

Summary: Mfkzt
Review: Having read his previous books I was compelled to purchase this one solely on the strenght of the author. I must conlude that I was not disappointed by any means. As the title implies this edition traces the use of monatomic gold known as (Mfzt to the egyptians) by the royal bloodline extending to the ancient sumerian epoch until today. Beautifuly backed up by a description of the Hudson experiments dealing with gold transformation, the ideas in this book trace the origin of the ark and its likely use as a medium containing the tablets of destiny and its use as a possible converter for gold transformation. This book is a definite must-read for Gardner fans even though some of the information is repeated from previous works. Nevertheless the focus is definitely shifted to the above.

Summary: Hard to put down!
Review: I found this book very easy to read and hard to put down. Weather you agree with his theories or not it's obvious he's done a tremendous amount of research. If your are at all interested in ancient history mysteries you will enjoy this book. It's so well written I'm now getting his other books.

Summary: Excellent Research!
Review: I have read all of Laurence Gardners books and have his lecture on DVD. I have researched his claims about White Powder Gold via NASA, Boeing Aircraft Co.and many others and yes the research is happening and yes the stuff does work (personal experence). But there are some company's selling bunk, so buyer beware and ask questions. Fast read, hard to put down. It amazes me how quickly narrow minded people can't get past groundbreaking news. Some people feel so cozy with ingrained beliefs, however this news is earth shattering. Read it then research for yourself!

Summary: A tease becomes a revelation
Review: In what turned out to be a colossal tease, Laurence Gardner, in his second major work, Genesis of the Grail Kings, gave us a brief description of a curious white powder produced in ancient Egypt that had phenomenal gravitational, transformational and inspirational powers. The substance was the result of a secret process whereby gold and platinum group metals were transformed into a white powder which the Egyptians called MFKZT (pronounced muf-kutz). The powder, though derived from heavy metals, had a negative weight (less than zero), and transmitted the same weightlessness to its container. When ingested, the powder brought heightened spiritual awareness to its user, and it supposedly could transport itself or its user into a different time/space dimension, called the Field of MFKZT, or the Plane of Shar-on. The inference was made that MFKZT provided the technical ability to lift all of the millions of multi-ton blocks into place in the Giza Pyramids, and that the Field of MFKZT was the final destination of the Pharaohs after their earthly existence. Partly due to the reaction by his reading public, Gardner promised a whole book on the subject, but, in the meantime, came out with another book (Realm of the Ring Lords), which, while very interesting, didn't add to the information about MFKZT he had given us in his previous book. At long last, Gardner has kept his word, and has published Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark. Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark is Gardner's account of the famous Ark of the Covenant. In relating the fascinating information about the Ark, Gardner gives us a comprehensive explanation of the whole concept of MFKZT, its role in the powers of the Ark, and its history through the ages, including up to the present day. Gardner's theory is that MFKZT is actually the mysterious and elusive Philosophers' Stone. We have heard so much about alchemists throughout history attempting to turn lead into gold, when all the while the real transformational process so closely guarded over the past five millennia has been that of turning gold into this astonishing substance. If you only read one of Gardner's four major works, I suggest that it be this one. However, you should do yourself the favor of reading all four (the others being Bloodline of the Holy Grail, Realm of the Ring Lords, and Genesis of the Grail Kings), as they separately and collectively have brought us compelling, important, and groundbreaking insights to the understanding of our ancient history and our religious belief systems and institutions.

Summary: A compelling and scholarly work
Review: International best-selling author Laurence Gardner, has fulfilled all expectations with this well researched and scholarly approach to a mystery that spans thousands of years. Gardner's contention is that the Biblical Ark of the Covenant was in reality: a capacitor that made it a powerful and deadly weapon, a superconductor that allowed it to levitate above ground, and a machine for manufacturing a substance called "Mfkzt" by the ancient Egyptians, "manna" by the Hebrews, and the "philosophers stone" by alchemists. At first glance, these propositions seem preposterous, and yet, after following his trail of logic, one wonders how it could have been anything other than what he insists it was. A 1904 expedition to Mount Horeb (which the King James Version of the bible claims was the place Moses received the Ten Commandments) discovered the ruins of an Egyptian temple with hundreds of artifacts including: huge statues, obelisks, round tables, crucibles, vases and wands, and most significantly tons of a white powder conceled beneath flagstone. Through his research Gardner has ascertained that this white substance called "mfkzt" was a monotomic powdered gold. By a special process of arc heating, gold and other platinum group metals, can be turned into a single atom or monotomic substance, that has superconductive properties. Superconductive materials are capable of leviation above magnetic fields, and Gardner speculates, that the powdered substance contained in the ark might have given it such capabilities. How else, he asks would it have been possible for four men to carry the ark when the lid alone, which was made of pure gold, has been calculated to have weighed around 2,714 pounds. It has been determined that a superconductive material will lose about 40% of its weight as a result of repulsing the earths own magnetic field. This could have made the transport of the ark manageable and therefore consistant with biblical references of the ark being marched around the city of Jericho for example. The ark's design gives credence, as well, to stories of the destrutive powers of the ark. Biblical records clearly specifiy that the ark was constructed of wood sandwiched between layers of gold. Gardner realized that these are the specifications of a simple capacitor, and calculates that the ark would have charged to several thousand volts, making it a powerful and deadly weapon. As we find out in this story, the superconductive properties of mfkzt was really only a by-product that the ancients might have stumbled upon. Its main purpose was that of consumption. Numerous ancient references of mfkzt, often called "white bread" or "manna" relate to it being eaten for its healthful affects. Recent biochemical experiments have confirmed that monotomic platinum group metals have shown antiaging affects by increasing melatonine production, stimulate the pineal and pituitary glands, and in turn reactivation "junk DNA." Gardner parallels the story of this ancient mystery with contemporary physics, as well as a tale of intrigue and government conspiracy regarding a farmer, who discoverd the monotomic substance on his Arizona ranch! At times, this book was a bit tedious for me, because of the endless historical references, but this is only a criticism of my own lack of knowledge and interest in this area. For the most part, however, this book read like a good mystery novel and I'm glad that I stuck with it for the wealth of knowledge within. All in all this book was a gem. This review by David J.

Summary: New uses for gold
Review: Laurence Gardner's credentials are impeccable, and his latest work will further enhance his reputation as the top scholar in his field. "Lost Secret of the Sacred Ark" came about by popular demand from readers who were intrigued by his references in previous books to such terms as shewbread, highward fire stone and even the Philosopher's Stone. Gardner has uncovered a different purpose for the Ark of the Covenant than that we have been led to believe by benighted clerics. The real use for the Ark was that of a scientific nature, a gold-laden capacitor with an "arc" able to manufacture a mysterious substance. This substance was not the transmutation of baser metal into gold but of gold being turned into a miracle medicine, with the ability also to manipulate space-time and prized above all else in antiquity. Beginning at an Egyptian temple in the Sinai Peninsula, the author takes us on a tour of ancient civilizations who so long ago practiced hyperdimensional physics that we are just now realizing. Our journey takes us from ancient temples to modern laboratories today, and we learn that temples then were not for the worship of gods but were the workshops for the gods. Gardner's writing affords us a new perspective on events in biblical times as well as an understanding of quantum mechanics. The book contains credible and impressive source citations, a comprehensive bibliography, and appendices ranging from ancient genealogies to current gold standards. I believe this book is the most meaningful revelation since the splitting of the atom because this secret can not only heal disease but it can literally move mountains. Highly recommended.
