Remarkable silence
Book Description
In the ancient ruins of Sepphoris, Israel, two Harvard archaeologists make a discovery that threatens to reshape humanity's understanding of its most sacred foundations. When Henry and Alice Cross unearth clay tablets chronicling an extraordinary family lineage spanning from Moses to Mary, mother of Jesus, they find themselves holding evidence that challenges the very roots of three major world religions.
These remarkable tablets pose profound questions that have echoed through millennia. What drove Moses in his mission? What were Jesus's true intentions? What hidden knowledge did Mary carry? As the archaeologists piece together this ancient narrative, they realize their discovery offers answers that some would die to protect and others would kill to suppress.
Word of the tablets spreads quickly through corridors of power, drawing the attention of world leaders, religious authorities, and shadowy operatives. The American President, Israeli Prime Minister, the Pope, and various agents each seek to control this explosive evidence for their own purposes. As Henry and Alice navigate a dangerous web of political and religious intrigue stretching from Jerusalem to Washington D.C., they witness the tragic consequences when truth collides with power.
Their journey becomes a race for survival as they struggle to protect both the tablets and themselves from those who view authentic historical revelation as either salvation or catastrophe. In this gripping exploration of faith, truth, and human nature, readers encounter timeless questions about the price of knowledge and the courage required to seek authentic understanding.
