Proof Absolute that Ron Wyatt Was Very Willing to Lie to the Public

If Ron Wyatt will fabricate the following PUBLIC lies without ever publicly apologizing for them before his death, what else did he lie about? This is proof absolute that he was willing to misrepresent the truth. The statements below are excerpts from the following Website: http://www.tccsa.tc/articles/wyatt.html There is no public record that Ron Wyatt repented of the following lies about himself.

“But there is another more disconcerting report that casts suspicion on Wyatt's credibility. Wyatt hired Jeff Roberts and Associates, a public relations firm in Hendersonville, Tennessee, to arrange his speaking engagements. This firm produced for Wyatt a packet of materials that stated he was a Korean War veteran, that he had graduated from the University of Michigan with honors in pre-med, and that he had completed all the requirements for both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in antiquities. When others investigated these credentials, they found none of these statements to be accurate. There is no record that Wyatt served in Korea and no evidence that he worked toward any degree at the time these materials were printed, although he did attendWestern Michigan University for several years.”

A Damaging Report

“Further doubt as to Wyatt's credibility was supplied by Dr. Jim Fleming, founder and former director of the Jerusalem Center for Biblical Studies (located at Tantur) and an editorial advisor to Biblical Archaeology Review. He told me in the summer of 1993 that he had originally been asked by Wyatt to be his archaeological advisor during his excavations at Mount Calvary. Because Dr. Dan Bahat, a Jerusalem archaeologist and lecturer at Hebrew University, had agreed to sponsor the dig, Fleming tentatively agreed. After spending time with Wyatt at the site, however, Fleming became alarmed at both his claims and techniques. In one instance, Fleming saw Wyatt drop a hammer down into a large crack in the mountain. Later, Wyatt offered as proof that he had discovered the Ark a metal-detector reading that indicated a metal object within the rock. Fleming says he left after this incident. Others have given similar disturbing reports concerning Wyatt's conduct at the site. One such observer, the Reverend John Woods, noted, “I saw him explaining to a group that a piece of metal embedded in the face of the Garden Tomb was part of the seal Pilate had placed upon the tomb. In fact it was a piece of shrapnel from the war [in 1967].”²⁴

“Wyatt does tell amazing stories and apparently receives generous support from uninformed churches where he speaks. What he and other explorers like him have not done is discover the Ark!”

Holy Relics or Revelation Review (Book by Dr.’s Colin and Russell Standish

“A new book out sheds some more light. In World of the Bible Book Reviews, Randall Price reviews Holy Relics or Revelation: Recent Astounding Archaeological Claims Evaluated³.

“One of the questions frequently asked our ministry concerns the archaeological allegations of the late Ron Wyatt, now perpetuated by the Wyatt Archaeological Foundation, the Prophecy Club, and messianic speaker Michael Rood. At last there is a book written by two researchers in critique of all of Wyatt's alleged discoveries including for example Noah's Ark, the Ark of the Covenant, Egyptian chariot wheels in the Red Sea, Sodom & Gomorrah, the Pillars of Solomon, and Abraham's tomb.

The authors, like Wyatt, are Seventh-Day Adventists. Their criticisms therefore, are not as much with his theology but with Wyatt's supposed archaeological research. Of particular interest is their exposure of inconsistencies in the varied accounts given by Wyatt concerning his discoveries and a collection of excuses by Wyatt for such inconsistencies and for his promised evidence not being forthcoming. This book is recommended to any who have wanted a thorough evaluation of Wyatt and his claims³.”
