[Theophilus]

I'm not so sure the Ark was not in the 2nd Temple

Matthew 27:51
And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent

[BrandtMichaels]

I think it was there at some time but assuredly not
when the curtain was torn in two. Ron Wyatt seemed
absolutely convinced that he had found the Ark of the
Covenant in the caves in Golgotha - that it contained
a unique blood signature sprinkled on the mercy seat!
