How Ron Wyatt found the Ark of the Covenant as told by Kent Hovind. Although this hasn't been documented, I'd say it's real. Ron Wyatt is a nice bloke - I wouldn't accuse him of lying, and neither would Hovind. Also, apparently the elders in Israel know about this find as Hovind shows in the video.

This subject, as well as many subjects Jewish in nature, always fascinated me.
Ron Wyatt is an interesting man (actually, he's deceased now). I never quite knew what to make of him. However, a testimony from a close companion that worked with him attested to his good character, so I don't have any reason to believe he was deliberately lying. However, the same companion made the comment that he was the type of guy that could fire up the imagination with his stories. The impression I got was that of a boy who wanted to find treasure. And the boy always finds it, but his parents know it's not real treasure, but it is to the boy. That's the type of person I got the impression that Ron Wyatt was.
Nevertheless, although my jury is out yet, I find that his theory as to where it is located to be one of several I heard over the years. His theory was what I call "local" where it is nearby, just as the Jews (c.f. those of the templeinstitute.org) who claim to also know where it is at and local theories usually claim it's still right near where the temple stood.
Then there's what I call "regional" theories where it is hidden, perhaps in a cave, just outside the promised land. The Ethiopian theories are of the most well known.
Lastly, there's the "remote" theories such as Jeremiah bringing a chest with him when he transferred the throne of King David to where the lost house of Israel resided. Irish lore had it that Jeremiah had a chest with him when he set foot there at his destination. However, there was also ANOTHER ark I found out about while studying this topic that was not overlaid with gold. This ark, according to Jewish information, was a plain wooden box so maybe that's the one that Jeremiah took with him.
It's anyone's guess.
