Where is the Ark of the Covenant now ?

That is the 64 zillion dollar question. Supposedly it is in Ethiopia, and will be transported somewhere while the chapel roof is repaired.

What happened to the Ark of the Covenant is a question that has fascinated theologians, Bible students, and archeologists for centuries. In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah of Judah ordered the caretakers of the Ark of the Covenant to return it to the temple in Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 35:1-6; cf. 2 Kings 23:21-23). That is the last time the ark’s location is mentioned in the Scriptures. Forty years later, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon captured Jerusalem and raided the temple. Less than ten years after that, he returned, took what was left in the temple, and then burnt it and the city to the ground. So what happened to the ark? Was it taken by Nebuchadnezzar? Was it destroyed with the city? Or was it removed and hidden safely away, as evidently happened when Pharaoh Shishak of Egypt raided the temple during the reign of Solomon’s son Rehoboam? (“Evidently” because, if Shishak had managed to take the Ark, why did Josiah ask the Levites to return it? If the Ark was in Egypt—à la the plotline of Raiders of the Lost Ark—the Levites would not have possessed it and therefore could not have returned it.)

The Ark contains the Laws of God – but haven’t you heard? The new covenant proclaims that God wrote the laws on the heart of every believer. The Ark was only a shadow of what was to come. The arc of the rainbow is a remnant of the original covenant between God and Noah.

Hidden on Mount Sinai according to 2 Maccabees 2:

[5] And when Jeremias came thither he found a hollow cave: and he carried in thither the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door. [6] Then some of them that followed him, came up to mark the place: but they could not find it. [7] And when Jeremias perceived it, he blamed them, saying: The place shall be unknown, till God gather together the congregation of the people, and receive them to mercy.

Supposedly it is possessed by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, as told in the Kebra Negast, brought from Jerusalem to Ethiopia by the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba for safe keeping.

The Warehouse (Indiana Jones), Warehouse 13 (possibly the same as before, Warehouse 13), the Library (The Librarian), or deep underground near Jerusalem (most archeologists). You pick.

Within the body of the Virgin.

Why else would God’s angel have stilled the voice of His High Priest?

Area 51.

In a wooden crate, lost deep in a huge government warehouse.

Edit: Dammit, Jeremy beat me to it.

A coptic church in Ethiopia claims to have it

No one really knows.

Excellent question though.
