However, the Bible records a devastating worldwide Flood, many centuries after Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden. Interestingly, several such ‘genuine’ spears are owned by various collectors around the world. The The ‘discoverers’ featured in our article have persuaded a number of people unfamiliar with basic geology that the larger picture at left is the city of Gomorrah, above middle is a ‘ziggurat,’ and the right image a ‘sphinx.’ However, the truth is less spectacular. There is little doubt that the genuine discovery of certain objects would be both exciting and a powerful witness to the truth of the biblical record. Ron Wyatt has claimed, among other things, to have discovered the following: The Wyatt/Gray ‘track record’ of false claims on other subjects (see main text) makes it easy to dismiss these current claimants to finding the Ark of the Covenant, along with all their ‘reasons’ as to why no one is conveniently allowed to access any hard evidence. The ‘discoverers’ will often appear completely sincere, saying all the ‘right Christian things.’ Perhaps at some point they have even persuaded themselves. This is the principle on which many dry powder fire extinguishers work. Among the most sought-after of these religious antiquities is the famed Ark of the Covenant. Simple visual inspection of such photos (and watching videos put out by these ‘amazing discoverers’) strongly suggests that these ‘building ruins’ are soft sedimentary structures with some lamination, carved into an array of shapes by rain and wind. For centuries, people have tried in vain to locate and recover the Bible's most sacred objects. They run on top of Flood-deposited layers of rock containing billions of dead things. Nor is it recognizable on the U.S. chart held by Mr Gray.’. An actual sample of Christ’s blood, with chromosomes allegedly still visible under the microscope, showing that there was no human father. The formation is even crosscut by an obvious layer of fossil-bearing (Flood deposited) limestone; this alone eliminates any possibility that it is what Wyatt, D.F. The mountain called ‘Sinai’ today does not fit well with the biblical data—no less than eight sites have been proposed over the years. Chariot wheels and other relics from Pharaoh’s drowned army at the bottom of the Red Sea. The Garden’s actual location on the globe can never be established—maybe it was where we now find the middle of the Pacific Ocean! Some unsolicited evidence also came our way concerning the alleged chariot wheels of the Exodus (which have never been made available to any archaeologists, Bible-believing or otherwise). God forcefully demonstrated this with the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in AD 70, predicted by Christ four decades earlier (Matthew 24). ‘Contrary to Mr Gray’s statement, the “sand bridge” is not now, and never has been, a recognizable feature on British Admiralty Charts. Religious archaeologists in Israel claim they have found the stone where the Ark of the Covenant once sat. However, this is an unusual, though natural, geologic formation. If they are, such a staggeringly impressive list would mean that Ron Wyatt had been almost as miraculously assisted by God as the patriarch Moses.4 If, however, a careful examination of just one or two of these claims reveals them to be false, fanciful or fraudulent, the ‘divine leading’ option evaporates, and it is clear that Christians are being seriously misled.

E.g. Sadly, though we would have been delighted if this really were the Ark, we found almost all the specific claims to be untrue and/or misleading. A thorough investigation of evidence from the site, along with the eyewitness testimony of Bible-believing scientists who have been there, confirms this conclusion.
