Long time ago a guy called Ron Wyatt said he had found the Arc... this is an old argument .....no Biblical Scholars see that verse as you read it.. respectly, nor do i .

Ron might have found a replica of the Ark made to conceal the whereabouts of the true Ark, the one that has real power.
I'm sure there's at least
one biblical scholar who agrees with me Gary
Here is my Templar theory.
It is important to start this story with the Essenes. The Essenes were a sect of second temple Judaism who lived in Qumran from around 300 BCE to around 400 AD. They are responsible for the creation of the dead sea scrolls. The Essenes were a community of high priests who's main purpose was to shelter the Ark when the temple of Solomon was compromised.
One of the scrolls found in Qumran was inscribed on a piece of copper. This copper was tested in a lab and it was revealed that it was the purest copper ever found on our planet. The message had been inscribed in copper to ensure the survival of it's message. The main subject of this scroll is the Ark of the Covenant.
The scroll describes the coming of the Ark to the Essenes,as well as other details such as the 64 components of the Ark, including which incense had to be burnt and what oils had to be worn, etc.
The scroll pointed to a cave nearby where the Ark had been kept. At the unsealing of the cave there were NASA scientists present, to observe whatever strange phenomenon was inside. When they opened the cave there was a strange blue mark on the wall. Some of the archaeologists stated that it was the same kind of weird blue mark that had been reported in the Mayan pyramids.
Archaeologists have dug up a lot of the "components" of the Ark nearby. These components are also mentioned in the Bible.
The next part of this story involves the Cathars.
The Cathars were a Jewish group living in France during the 11th century who believed they were the descendants of Emanuel. This was a large Jewish community living in the centre of France and no one knows how they got there.
The Cathars were looking for the Ark. So they created the Knights Templar to look for it.
They convinced the French army to take Jerusalem because they were convinced the Ark was buried beneath the Temple of Solomon. And in doing so started the crusades. While stationed in Jerusalem, the Knights Templar dug extensive tunnels into the foundation of the Temple, but they recovered only documents.
The King of Ethiopia was in Jerusalem when he heard the Knights were searching for the Ark. He approached them and told them that he had the Ark, in Ethiopia.
The Ark had likely been moved to Qumran, and then up the Nile to Elephantine Isle (strange that Oak Island resembles an Elephant when mapped) and onward to Ethiopia when it was deemed the temple was no longer an option. It ended up eventually at the church of St. Mary of Tsion. Here is a picture of one of the giant obelisk-like stelae found on site:

This Stelae weighs in excess of five hundred tons, and was raised with the help of the Ark according to the Ethiopian priest who guards the church.
There is a rich Jewish tradition in Ethiopia, as well as a plethora of evidence in both art and writing of Templar influence.
The Templars made a deal with the king of Ethiopia: In exchange for fighting for his country, the knights would be granted access to the Ark. The knights eventually convinced the king to let them take the Ark, as it would be unsafe in the wrong hands.
They brought it back to France, where they built the Chartres Cathedral and hid the Ark in a subterranean chamber beneath it. They moved it to the castle of Montsegur briefly when the Pope and the King declared the expulsion of the Templars, and then on to Scotland.
What happens after that is just speculation
