Where is the Ark of the Covenant?
There are several theories regarding the whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant. Some say it was hidden under the Temple Mount in 586 B.C. and is still there waiting to be discovered. Others say it was hidden in the caves somewhere in the Judean desert. Still others claim that Jeremiah the prophet took it with him when he was forced to go to Egypt and that it was later rediscovered in Ethiopia, where it has supposedly been guarded by monks to this day.
