What happened to the Ark of the Covenant?

For centuries, the mystery has focused on where the Ark might be hidden. But a more important question may come first: when did history lose track of it?

In THE ARK OF THE COVENANT: THE DISAPPEARANCE, James P. Patterson follows the surviving evidence through ancient Israel, Jerusalem, Solomon's Temple, the reigns of kings, the Babylonian destruction, and later traditions involving Jeremiah, Mount Nebo, Ethiopia, and the Temple Mount.

Separating documented history from later tradition and speculation, Patterson examines the competing theories without forcing an answer the evidence cannot support.

Was the Ark destroyed, hidden, carried away, or lost before Babylon ever reached Jerusalem?

The mystery begins with its disappearance.
