About the Movie

Treasures of the Second Temple is filled with history and mystery and tells the incredible story of the treasures of the Second Temple—how they were stolen by man yet hidden by God.

In A.D. 70, Roman legions destroyed the Second Temple of Jerusalem. But centuries of eyewitnesses say the temple treasures survived and were carried away to Rome, Carthage and Byzantium, leaving an ominous trail of destruction. Where is what’s left of the treasure today?

Gordon Robertson takes you on an incredible journey from Jerusalem to Rome and back again in CBN’s newest documentary. Why did the unimaginable wealth contained in Jerusalem’s Second Temple seem to carry a curse to every place it rested? The pages of ancient history, modern archaeology, and the Bible itself have lured treasure-seeking explorers to attempt to piece together this puzzling mystery.

Now the CBN Documentaries team has traced the journey of the treasure and uncovered more tantalizing clues to its final resting place.

Treasures of the Second Temple picks up where unsuccessful explorers have long given up. What is the destiny of the treasures of the Second Temple? How much longer will the mystery remain unsolved?
