There's no reason to think that the Knights Templar had anything to do with the Ark.

The Ark disappeared long before Knights Templar came along. It vanished during the Babylonian invasion, and the reason people wonder about the Ark is because the Babylonians kept fairly good records of what kind of booty they took from Isreal, and no mention was made anywhere of any item matching the description of the Ark as detailed in the Pentatuec.

There is some limited evidence that some priests managed to sneak the Ark away towards Egypt, where they built a little temple there, before hustling it down into Ethiopia, but nobody knows for sure.

The Knights Templar came along more than a thousand years later, and one of the stories surrounding them is that their founder discovered the Holy Grail in the basement of the remains of Harod's Temple... but again... unsubstatiated.

In any case, it does not make sense to confuse Knights Templar as having anything to do with the Ark... they were from completely different times in history.
