What happened to the Ark of the Covenant?

Sometime around 586 BC, the Jewish Ark of the Covenant completely disappeared from history.

The Ark was a gold-plated box with two winged cherubim that sat inside the Tabernacle of Moses, the Tabernacle of David and lastly the Temple in Jerusalem. On top of the Ark sat the very presence of God and as a result it was the most important piece of furniture in the Jewish Temple.

In this podcast, I discuss the mysterious disappearance of the Ark of the Covenant and any Biblical evidence and ancient conspiracy theories that that may help us understand what happened to the Ark.
