Episode synopsis
The Ark of the Covenant has been missing for over 2000 years. According to legend, it contained the power of God and was carried into battle by the Israelites as a weapon. In 1982, American Ron Wyatt claimed he found the Ark in Jerusalem, but he had neither witnesses nor evidence. Findings from recent excavations in Israel suggest that there may have been more than one Ark, as other portable shrines have also been called the Ark of God.
