　　In a mixture of travel, adventure, and scholarship, historian

Tudor Parfitt sets out in search of answers to a fascinating

ethnological puzzle: is the Lemba tribe of Southern Africa really

one of the lost tribes of Israel, descended from King Solomon and

the Queen of Sheba?

Beginning in the Lemba villages in South Africa, where he

witnesses customs such as food taboos and circumcision rites that

seem part of Jewish tradition, Parfitt retraces the supposed path

of the Lembas' through Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Tanzania, taking in

sights like Zanzibar and the remains of the stone city Great

Zimbabwe. The story of his eccentric travels, a blend of the

ancient allure of King Solomon's mines and Prester John with

contemporary Africa in all its beauty and brutality, makes for an

irresistible glimpse at a various and rapidly changing

continent.

And in a new epilogue, Parfitt discusses recent DNA evidence

that, amazingly, lends credence to the Lemba's tribal myth.
