Also, the taking of the Ark is allegedly recorded in the Karnak temple, but the taking of Jerusalem isn't?

That seems a bit implausible.

This was a tempting target for the king of Egypt who attacked and overran

Egyptian victory was commemorated on a temple wall at Karnak. The wall
carving shows Egyptian soldiers carrying away the Ark of the Covenant.
