Mar 20179 sites✓ transcript

Josh Gates chases one of archaeology's most legendary quests: the Ark of the Covenant, the gold-covered chest said to house the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. The Ark's last documented location was Jerusalem's Temple Mount, where it resided in Solomon's Temple until the Babylonian siege of 589 BCE, after which it vanished from the historical record. Gates investigates two competing theories about its fate—one suggesting the prophet Jeremiah hid it in secret passages beneath the Temple Mount before the Babylonian invasion, and another claiming it was transported out of the Middle East entirely to Ethiopia. The expedition takes Gates into previously unfilmed underground chambers in Jerusalem and follows trails to Ethiopian sites where local traditions insist the sacred relic remains hidden.
