Ronald Eldon “Ron” Wyatt: Life and Biblical Archeology Discoveries

Ronald Eldon “Ron” Wyatt (1933-1999) was born on 2 Jun 1933 and reached the end of his life on 4 Aug 1999 (aged 66) in Columbia, Maury County, Tennessee, USA. He was associated with Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio, USA, and is interred at Polk Memorial Gardens, Columbia, Maury County, Tennessee, USA, in the Plot Garden of Luke 44 C 3.

Significant Biblical Excavations

Ron Wyatt was famous for his excavation work on Noah's Ark, at the site of the ship found in the Mount Ararat region of Turkey, several thousand feet above sea level. But he has continued over the years to excavate sites that will prove the Bible of the Old and New Testament to be true. His research led him to several historically significant locations:

Ark of the Covenant: Specifically he purported to have located the ARK OF THE COVENANT under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, although his detractors refute the claim.
Sodom and Gomorrah: His excavations have included finding the sites of the five towns that made up Sodom and Gomorrah, complete with brimstones.
The Red Sea Crossing: He identified the point at which the Israelites crossed the Red Sea during the exodus, with video footage, showing the chariot parts of Pharaoh's army under the sea and columns erected by King Solomon 400 years after the crossing to mark the site.
Mount Sinai: He claimed to have found the true site of Mount Sinai, complete with the rock that Moses split for the river of water to flow when the Israelites were ready to die of thirst and a further nineteen other points on Mount Sinai that link to passages in the Bible.
