I watched a documentary on that. After two hours of the guy hanging around talking to people who all said "dude, it's TOTALLY in the shed behind the fence," they had their festival where they bring the Ark out and parade it around town. Except... it's not the real Ark, it's a Replica, as the Real Ark is too valuable to risk bringing it outside. And except that the the Replica is like a 2 cubic foot box covered in red felt, not the grand, golden cask described in Exodus, with the Seraphim and the Mercy Seat and the ornate details.
SO disappointing. The Ark was taken and most likely destroyed when Eli's two sons brought it into battle like a lucky charm, like God was gonna dance for them, after they'd been sneaking into the Holiest of Holies with their sluts, like he didn't know. God occasionally teaches the hard lessons.

This.
Sometimes people fuck up so bad that God slaps them into oblivion.
