[00:00:00]The most dangerous object in human [music] history has been missing for 2,600 years and in 2025 we may finally be getting close.

[00:00:10]According to the Bible, the Ark [music] of the Covenant was built by the Israelites shortly after they fled Egypt around [music] the 1300 BC.

[00:00:18]Moses placed the Ten Commandments inside it, but it wasn't just a religious relic. The Bible says it leveled entire [music] cities, struck enemy armies dead, and killed anyone who touched it without permission. Even the priests who carried it wore special garments [music] and could not look directly at it.

[00:00:37]It was stored in the holiest room in the world, the Holy [music] of Holies, inside the Temple of Jerusalem.

[00:00:44]Then in 586 BC, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar [music] destroyed Jerusalem.

[00:00:51]His armies looted the Temple and took everything.

[00:00:54]But the Ark?

[00:00:55]It was never [music] ever been mentioned. No Babylonian record lists it as war loot. No conqueror [music] ever claimed it. No tomb, no cave, no museum in 2,600 [music] years.

[00:01:08]Not a single trace has ever been confirmed. [music] It simply vanished.

[00:01:14]Then in August 2025, [music] archaeologists digging at Tel Shiloh, Israel, the Ark's ancient home before the Temple was built, made a stunning discovery.

[00:01:25]>> [music] >> They uncovered a massive ancient structure. Around it, over 100,000 animal bones, mostly sheep and cattle, almost all from the right side of the animals.

[00:01:36]This perfectly matches the Book of Leviticus, which says the right side was reserved for priestly offerings to God.

[00:01:44]Lead archaeologist Dr. Scott Stripling said, [music] "The evidence of sacrificial rituals here is overwhelming and it matches the biblical account to a degree that's hard to ignore."

[00:01:55]They [music] also found a 2,300 year old gold ring in Jerusalem's City of David near the exact spot where the ark once stood.

[00:02:05]But here's where it gets stranger.

[00:02:07]>> [music] >> A CIA document declassified in 2000 claims the ark was actually [music] discovered in 1988.

[00:02:14]Today, there are four serious theories.

[00:02:18]A church in Axum, Ethiopia, [music] claims to guard the real ark protected by a single monk who never leaves and never lets [music] anyone inside.

[00:02:27]Some believe it was hidden in secret tunnels beneath Jerusalem before the Babylonian invasion.

[00:02:32]>> [music] >> Ancient Egyptian records suggest Pharaoh Shishak may have taken it as war loot in 925 BC.

[00:02:41]The Book of Maccabees says the [music] prophet Jeremiah secretly buried it in a cave on Mount Nebo in Jordan.

[00:02:48]The Ark of the Covenant is still out [music] there somewhere.

[00:02:52]And if the Bible is right about what it can do, maybe it's better that we haven't found it yet.
