No one knows for sure, despite sensational claims to the contrary. Even 1800 years ago, the Talmud-sages discussed this question (Yoma 53b). The Talmud (ibid.) states two opinions in this matter. According to one opinion, the Ark of the Covenant was carried off by the Babylonians when they destroyed the First Temple.
According to the second opinion, around 35 years before the First Destruction, King Josiah (Yoshiah) hid the Ark in a secret chamber constructed for this purpose, since it was already apparent that the Temple wouldn't last much longer. The Prophets had been foretelling the destruction of the Temple for some time.
Tradition states that when he built the Temple, King Solomon prepared a hidden shaft and room deep underneath the Temple Mount for just such an eventuality (Maimonides, in the Hilchot Beit HaBechirah 4:1).
The second opinion is the accepted one (Maimonides, ibid, 4:1-2). However, it is possible to account for both opinions, since all of the Temple vessels had duplicates which were made in order to be used if the original vessel got lost or defiled (Talmud, Hagigah 26b). We may postulate that the Babylonians carried into captivity an empty duplicate Ark which had been placed in the Holy of Holies after King Josiah concealed the original.

A:A widely believed tradition is that the Ark containing the Ten Commandments was hidden by the Jews at the start of the Babylonian Exile and never recovered. This raises the question of why something so sacred was hidden where it could never be found, or why it was not found and restored to the temple when it was rebuilt only a few decades later.

The story of the tablets is part of the story of Moses, which is absolutely central to Judaism. Moses spoke to God and followed his commands. He led the people out of Egypt and witnessed many miracles in the wilderness. Moses built the Ark of the Covenant as God commanded and received the ten commandments. It is surely not an exaggeration to say that if the story of Moses is not substantially true, then the original tablets on which Ten Commandments were written never existed. Yet there is no evidence of an Exodus from Egypt as described in The Bible, and nearly all serious scholars now believe that the Israelites did not conquer Canaan but were themselves Canaanites who migrated internally from the region of the rich coastal cities to the hitherto sparsely populated mountainous hinterland. The tablets on which the Ten Commandments were written do not exist because they never existed.

Another Answer:

The 'original' set of Commands written by the finger of God on the two tablets, were cast out of his hands when Moses descended the mountain to find them with a graven image:
Exodus 32:19 (NKJV) 19 So it was, as soon as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. So Moses' anger became hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.

Moses received another listing of God's Commands and had an Ark built by a artisan 'filled with God's Spirit' to house these. They are lost at the present time but have been codified and can be read in any Bible.

Are the ten commandments important?

A:The Ten Commandments have a mystique for Christians that is not really there for Jews. Because of this mystique, Christians are likely to attribute greater importance to the Ten Commandments than most Jews would. They are similar in concept to many ancient religious codes, and still have some relevance today, although only in the most general terms: The first three commandments are essentially different ways of saying to worship no other god, rules which are still important to believers.The next commandment says to do no work on the Sabbath, nor to require or request others to do so or even allow an animal to do so, and is almost never honoured.The fifth commandment is to honour your father and your mother, a useful social rule usually observed out of filial love rather than by bringing to mind a commandment. In any case, whether we honour our parents is not something that can usefully be enforced by commandment unless we return to stoning children to death for striking their fathers.The sixth commandment, do not kill, is too general and too obvious to need to be stated in this way. It is the law that ensures we do not kill others, not the commandment, so this is no longer important.The seventh commandment, do not commit adultery, is too ill-defined. For example, in Old Testament times it was adultery for a man to have sex with the wife of another Jew but, although married himself, not with a single woman, widow or prostitute. The commandment was intended to protect the property rights of Jewish men and is not important today unless we redefine it to suit modern norms.The eighth commandment, do not steal, is too general to be the foundation for modern ethics. It is the law that ensures we do not commit robbery offences, fraud, tax evasion and so on, not the commandment, so this is no longer important.The ninth commandment, do not bear false witness against your neighbour, would have originally been intended for some situations now seen as perjury, but has not formed the basis of our criminal law in respect to perjury. It is also commonly seen as a commandment against telling lies, but would only be important today if it affected behaviour, which is doubtful.The tenth commandment says not to covet that which belongs to your neighbour, including his wife and slaves. Wives are no longer thought of in Western society as a man's property and slaves are no longer permitted, thus reducing the importance of this commandment.


Did anyone ever find the Ten Commandments original stones?

The original tablets containing the Ten Commandments have never been found. If, as the great majority of scholars believe, there actually never was an Exodus from Egypt, then there would never have been any stones containing the Ten Commandments.
