The Ark of the Covenant steps out of the Bible narrative in the book II Maccabees, and into the realm of mystery. Some people believe the Ark of the Covenant is missing, and that no one knows where it is. Some people believe the Ark of the Covenant is not missing, but hidden so that only a few people know where it is. Another theory is that the Copper Scroll found with the Dead Sea Scrolls is not just any treasure map, but the map to the treasure of treasures—the Ark of the Covenant.
