More likely that it never existed in the first place, but if it did this sounds most plausible. One of the first things an occupying force does is destroy the sacred signs of their subjects to assert the dominance and superiority of the conquering culture.

I have no reason to doubt its existence, so disagree about it existing in the first place. The first and second temples are fact. The second temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD is fact, and astonishingly, archaeology has finally uncovered evidence that the reign of King David was actually happened.

My guess is it was the Babylonians that carried it off between the first temple and second temple eras.

This is a really interesting read, there's more to it, but I can't find it right now.

Leads one to believe the Ark def. existed and was in fact a condenser of electricity.
Gizmodo article about engineering professor who examined the construction of the Ark based on Bible.
