    The fun part is we don’t have any real evidence outside the Bible that the Ark of the Covenant even existed. Did it exist? Who knows? You can’t really take the Bible’s word for much.

      I mean, all the Ark of the Covenant is is a box that holds the “original” (oldest version of the) Torah. So…sure, it existed. If I write a novel and put it in a cigar box and say it’s super special and has magical powers, the box and the book exist while the magic powers probably don’t.
