It sounds like something out of an Indiana Jones film - a lost civilisation, gold mines, the legendary King Solomon and his lover the Queen of Sheba - but this is the real thing. Despite being investigated by the Royal Geographical Society in 1893, the remains of a ruined empire lying in south-central Africa, including 20,000 stone monuments, temples, forts and sculptures, are still an enigma. Following in the literary footsteps of H Rider Haggard, Robin Brown-Lowe explores the origins of this culture defined not only by its monuments, but also by its gold mines. Based on recent DNA evidence, Brown-Lowe traces links between this lost civilisation and the inhabitants of North Africa, the Egyptian pharaohs and ties in the legends of King Solomon (an infamous gold magnate( and his lover Queen Sheba (the major gold dealer of her day). `A gripping story of discovery and detection.'

Robin Brown is a film-maker whose credits include documentaries on Peter Scott and Wilfred Thesiger, the Nature Watch seris with Julian Pettifer and the EMMY-winning in the Company of Whales. His books include two volums of autobiography BYE BYe Shangri La and Shark Infested Custard 9Weidenfeld and Nicholson). Nature Watch, Nature Watching and Nature Watchers (Collins) and several novels.
