The Ark Of The Covenent Is In Ethiopia?

The early support for Smith's claims came from his family members, such as his father, Joseph Smith Sr., and his brother, Hyrum. Would anyone falter at calling Hyrum and Joseph Smith Sr liars? No, because a majority of Christians of any flavor believe Mormonism to be heretical. Therefore it takes no effort to point out the Smith family to be liars. Does Mormonism have archeologists? Yes, the LDS have a Book of Mormon archaeology. Do we believe it to be credible? No, because we believe Mormonism to be heretical. Also modern archeology doesn't uphold the claims of the book of Mormon. Mormon eschatology is totally Mormon, as is Seventh Day Adventist eschatology. While they look similar to dispensationalism, they differ by their particular teachings. So, if Ron Wyatt was a Mormon from Sandy Utah. Was raised a devout LDS. We could only imagine what he would've claimed the angels told him. What if the angel told a Mormon Ron Wyatt that the tablets would only be revealed when a Mormon Temple is built in Israel so baptisms for the dead could take place? That the headquarters of the LDS in Salt Lake City will be moved Independence Missouri? All so Jesus will appear with the tablets of the ten commandments?

Most everyone in Christianity would reject not only the Mormon Ron Wyatt, but any of his family members advocating his insanity. Even though they told you nice stories about digging up artifacts with good old dad.

The Seventh Day Adventist Ron Wyatt has zero to prove his outlandish tales.

Preach the Gospel not Marvel Comics.

Another thing, Mormons can point to current events and claim certain LDS teachings on their eschatology is coming soon. Smith foretold a time when the U.S. Constitution would be in peril and "hang by a thread." At this moment, Latter-day Saints would "step forth and save it". Would this make a Mormon Ron Wyatt's baloney claims to be credible? No. But, sadly confirmation bias is what leads people who are already weighed down with cognitive dissonance straight to a pit. Ellen G White's Sunday Law made sense to her because of the Christian country she lived in. There were already Blue Laws in the United States, and in England. To say this is something laid out in the Bible, and that it is the Mark of the Beast? Then much luck to anyone proving that. Saying a worldwide Blue Law of a worldwide mandatory Sunday worship is in our immediate future.

The Seventh Day Adventist Ron Wyatt was wrong, was a grifter, and now he is deader than fried chicken.

A1,

Do you believe this is symbolism, or the actual location?

Nobody can plan unless they know of the event.

And I remember the Apostolic newspaper that count out of the Kentucky hill country.

Anybody who does make it, will find it quite intriguing.

For me it is a bit of a challenge, being in the Hudson Valley of NY.

Including

Noah's Ark
Sodom and Gomorroah
the Exodus

And I am not asking if you accept each discovery as truth, simply whether you accept his presentations as honest, truthful and fair.

We both should understand that the professional archaeologists and Christian writers will offer multiple interpretations, sometimes accepting Ron's locations, sometimes not.

Literally all of Ron Wyatt's claims have been debunked by professional archaeologists, biblical scholars, even his fellow Seventh Day Adventists. Mainly the refutations center on his lack of scientific evidence, reliance on questionable methods, and unsubstantiated accounts of his discoveries. As far as Biblical Archeological Review (the magazine) it has never printed any of Ron Wyatt's findings. There are no official articles on Ron Wyatt published by Biblical Archaeology Review (BAR) which support his claims.

One major problem is taking one's comment at face value. Never calling them out on their inaccuracies.

Biblical Archaeology Review editor Hershel Shanks did not endorse the Jabal al-Lawz site for Mount Sinai in the 1998 video The Search for the Real Mt. Sinai. He was quoted in an advertisement for the video, but a contemporary review in Biblical Archaeology Review found the claim was misrepresented.

In the news this year, although in some media they downplay the fact that Ron Wyatt was the chief researcher for decades. A gentleman named Andrew Jones has done wonderful work and study the last years, giving proper credit to Ron Wyatt.

Andrew Jones is an independent researcher, his methodology and findings are being reported on in a way that suggests some media are taking his work more seriously than Wyatt's was. He has been involved in Noah's Ark studies since the 1990s and has extensive experience at the Durupinar site. While Andrew Jones's work is focused on the same site as Wyatt's, the news reports indicate that he presents his research using more modern scientific methods rather than repeating Wyatt's unsubstantiated claims. There is no information from reputable news sources confirming that Andrew Jones is giving "proper credit" to Wyatt's specific findings or validating them. Rather, Jones is building on the general interest in the Durupinar site that Wyatt helped popularize, but using a very different investigative approach. In short Andrew Jones doesn't give Ron Wyatt credit, due to Jones using a totally different approach. Also Ron Wyatt made statements which no credible researcher would make. Like, THIS IS NOAH'S ARK! THESE ARE PETRIFIED WOODEN TIMBERS OF NOAH'S ARK. You just can't make those statements and call it good.

Also, listen to his sons, tell me, are they lying about their experiences?

In the worst case scenario, Ron should be honoured as the top Biblical archaeologist of the 20th century for his work on the two sites above.

And then make sure you smell a sulfur ball from the Sodom & Gomorrah site using a match flame.

Then we can discuss the Ark of the Covenant.

How? Claims made by Ron Wyatt are widely discredited within the professional archaeological community due to a lack of evidence and proven fraud. Emphasis on LACK OF EVIDENCE and PROVEN FRAUD! Having someone pose as a brain surgeon then wanting them to be honored as the top brain surgeon of the 20th century is laughable. Worst case scenario? Ron Wyatt has a lot of baggage to unpack when it comes to credibility. Wanting people to schelp over to Kentucky to hear about findings which have been refuted is a waste of precious time. We aren't to focus on such nonsense. We are to follow Jesus Christ, not some dusty collection of rags and bones laying in some musty roadside tourist trap.

Listen dear readers (all five of you) Ron Wyatt never presented his alleged discoveries to the broader academic community for peer review or independent verification. Any purported "evidence," such as blurry photographs, his secret laboratory reports, or no name Israeli scientists could never be confirmed. Or ever would be confirmed. There is so much humbug about the whole Ron Wyatt shooting match that it is not funny.

The Wyatt family or whoever is left collecting money on all of this, are the only ones who make out. No one else. Believe a lie and be damned? Why? This foolishness is no different than Roman Catholic Holy Relics. To make the people worship the Nehushtan. The created more than the Creator.
