He claims to have found some kind of cave containing the ark and other stuff, and nearby four post holes he claims were for crosses, etc, somewhere in Jerusalem. I believe he claims they were sealed up or something to be later revealed in the right time by God.

The man was either a total nut or a con artist. Perhaps a bit of both.

I found this on the website:

Quote:

Mr. Wyatt removed a sample of Christ's blood from the crack in the ceiling of the cave and paid a lab in Israel to do an analysis of the blood. They put the dark dried-out substance in saline solution for 72 hours. Mr. Wyatt asked them to do a chromosome test, but they informed him that he was wasting his money since you can't do a chromosome test on dead white blood cells. They proceeded with the analysis and said, "It's your money." As they began viewing the cells under the electron microscope, they saw cells dividing before their eyes! The blood was alive! They couldn't believe what they were seeing! They continued with their tests and found the blood to be unique from any other blood! Each cell contains only 24 chromosomes compared to the normal count of 46 that you and I have. Christ received 23 chromosomes from Mary, and one "y" chromosome from His heavenly Father to designate a male child. Others in the lab were asked to come see for themselves. With tears in their eyes they asked whose blood this was, and Mr. Wyatt replied, "It is the blood of your Messiah." Then they asked who the Messiah was. No other male human being has ever had this same chromosome count! Christ's blood is alive and unique to prove His divinity to the world before He returns to this earth. When these tests are repeated for all the world to see, everyone will learn that Jesus was more than a preacher, He was and is the Son of God!

So that's how God impregnated Mary - with just a Y chromosome. I learn something new everyday.

Biggest load of hooey I've heard in a while. If god could give him a Y chromosome, why couldn't he give him the other 22? And how would any cell divide with only half the required chromosomes? And where are the images to back this incredible claim? Surely scientists would have recorded and reported such a "miracle."

On the remote chance that there were actually
chariots at the bottom of the (sea? gulf?
whatever), located at a point with a huge
beach, making it a natural crossing point
for boats,
we should in NO way consider that this could
be from a barge which dumped it's load while
transporting chariots to an outpost.

No, it would most definitely have to be the
work of a supernatural being, and definitely
from that story in the Bible...

Kosh, that's the first thing I thought when I saw the photos. Except for one point.

Since they claim to have found human bones, I'd be inclined to think shipwreck, rather than just dumping.

..hmmm This of course would counter the Christian claim that the whole reason God had to become *human* and sacrifice human blood to atone for man's 'sins'. Looks like God still didn't quite pull it off right

Mecha_Dude

that makes absolutely no sense, do you know how fucked up you'd be with only 24 chromosomes?

Okay everybody, does anyone of you know any links that will contain critics of his works( the mad archeologist)? I'm quite sure there will be some out there but just don't know how to find them.

Mageth

Go to google and enter " "ron wyatt" criticism ".

Here's one hit I got for an xian site that contains/links to some criticisms:

<a href="http://www.gospelcom.net/apologeticsindex/w07.html" target="_blank">gospelcom site</a>.

Warning: I found what I thought was an interesting link titled: "Critique of Ron Wyatt's Archaeological Claims (e.g., re Noah's Ark)" on skeptics.com but it turned out to be a "kink" and not a link. (I got hammered with at least a dozen porn sites, one of which I had to reboot to get rid of.)

(NOTE: I emailed skeptics.com and told them)
