The box containing the Ark was broken during the subsequent action brought about from his escape attempt. As of , the actual prop resides in the art room of the Lucasfilm Ltd. In the film, it goes unexplained how Indiana Jones knew not to touch the Ark or look upon its contents. As such, Indy later reminds Sallah to not touch the artifact upon uncovering it and instead instructs that it be carried out with a set of poles.
The series was cancelled before the episode could be produced. For the development of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull , director Steven Spielberg became determined to have the Ark of the Covenant make a cameo in the film as a callback to the franchise 's earlier installments. Although a props team would normally have been expected to rebuild the Ark, it wasn't necessary for Crystal Skull as Lucas' archives had kept original prop from Raiders intact. As it was such a sought-after piece of memorabilia, guards were actually brought in to protect it.
For example, Brody's statement that "the Bible speaks of the Ark leveling mountains and laying waste to entire regions" is only partially accurate when it was captured by the Philistines it "laid waste" to their "region" via bubonic plague , though the Bible does state the Ark had supernatural powers. The Ark is reputed to have the second set of the Ten Commandments written in it, which are whole, not the first broken pair.
Although a Rabbinic tradition states that Moses also put the broken fragments of the first tablets of the Law into the Ark. The picture in which Jones and Brody show Musgrove and Eaton the Ark's destructive power might be another version of the Battle of Jericho. It is written in the Book of Joshua, a biblical story of how Israel had conquered Canaan, that for six days the Israelites had marched around the walls of Jericho once every day with their priests carrying the Ark, after which on the seventh day they marched around seven times.

There are contrasting beliefs about what the Ark was made of and looked like, with the Book of Exodus describing a lavish chest made with gold and other precious materials.
Overlay it with pure gold, both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it. It was supposedly built to be placed inside a movable shrine known as the tabernacle.
A curtain prevented people from viewing the Ark of the Covenant and an altar and incense burners were placed in front of the curtain. The incense was made of gum resin, onycham, galbanum and Frankincense and was to be burned by Aaron, the brother of Moses, and his sons at morning and sunset.
Exodus also mentions more details about its alleged appearance and talks about Bezalel, who was chosen by God to build the Ark. The second description of the Ark is far less ornate and describes it as being made just of wood, according to the Book of Deuteronomy. This contrasting tale tells of a story where the Israelis lost their faith in God and, at one point, were worshipping a golden calf instead. Moses became so outraged and angered by this that he smashed the existing stone tablets with the Ten Commandments inscribed.
God promptly ordered Moses to create new tablets, also engraved with the Commandments, and build a wooden box to put them in. Also make a wooden ark. I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are to put them in the ark.
The Lord wrote on these tablets what he had written before, the Ten Commandments he had proclaimed to you on the mountain….
Moses then put the tablets inside the wooden ark. It was claimed in the religious scripture that the Ark also had magical powers. In one story, the Jordan River stopped flowing and remained still while a group of priests carrying the ark crossed the river. Other stories describe how the Israelites took the ark with them into battle where the powers of the ark helped the Israelites defeat their enemies.
The Ark was once captured by the Philistines and caused outbreaks of tumours and disease among the population. So bad was the pestilence that the Philistines returned it to their foe, the Israelites.
After its return, it was lowered on to its 'large stone' base which supported its mass, but some awe-struck residents of the town of Beth Shemesh made the mistake of peering inside, resulting in them being struck down by God with lightning. This scene is recreated in the Harrison Ford film, Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, where the faces of people looking inside melted.
Understanding the stories surrounding the ark is challenging because of the different accounts. Some scholars believe that multiple arks may have been constructed and used at the same time or at different times.
The story of the construction of the ark told in the Book of Exodus describes in great detail how God ordered Moses to tell the Israelites to build an ark out of wood and gold, with God supposedly giving very precise instructions.
Overlay it with pure gold, both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it. Poles made of acacia wood and gold were used to carry the ark and two cherubim angels were to be sculpted out of gold and placed on the lid of the ark.
The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover. Tablets engraved with the Ten Commandments were placed inside the ark. The Hebrew Bible directed that the Ark of the Covenant be placed within a movable shrine known as the tabernacle. A curtain that prevented people from viewing the Ark of the Covenant was set up within the tabernacle and an altar and incense burners were placed in front of the curtain.
The incense was made of gum resin, onycham, galbanum and frankincense , and was to be burned by Aaron, the brother of Moses, and his sons at morning and sunset.
A man named Bezalel was chosen by God to build the Ark of the Covenant and furnishings located within the tabernacle, according to the Hebrew Bible.
