A real-life Indiana Jones believes he has found the fabled Lost Ark of the Covenant, the holiest relic of the Jewish faith and made famous in Hollywood blockbusters, most notably Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

In a book released by Harper Collins, The Lost Ark of the Covenant, Hebrew lecturer Tudor Parfitt describes the moment he believed he had uncovered the lost treasure, according to Wales on Sunday.

He writes: "I felt a shiver down my spine… Everything in the room seemed to take on a hard-edged radiance. A strange sanctity seemed to shine from it."
