Ronald Eldon Wyatt (2 Jun 1933 – August 4, 1999) was an adventurer and former nurse anesthetist noted for advocating the Durupınar site as the site of Noah's Ark, among other Bible-related pseudoarchaeology. His claims were dismissed by scientists, historians, biblical scholars, and by leaders in his own Seventh-day Adventist Church, but his work continued to have a following among some fundamentalists and evangelical Christians.
By the time of his death on August 4, 1999, his
claimed discoveries included:
- Noah's Ark (the Durupınar site, located approximately 18 miles (29 km) south of Mount Ararat)[2]
- Anchor stones (or drogue stones) used by Noah on the Ark[3]
- The post-flood house, grave markers and tombs of Noah and his wife[4]
- The location of Sodom and Gomorrah and the other Cities of the Plain: Zoar, Zeboim and Admah[5]
- Sulfur/brimstone balls from the ashen remains of Sodom and Gomorrah[6]
- The area of Djoser's pyramid complex believed to be the remains of Joseph's grain distribution bins used during the 7 year famine[7]
- The Tower of Babel site (in southern Turkey)[8]
- How the Egyptians may have built the pyramids[9]
- The site of the Israelites' crossing of the Red Sea (located in the Gulf of Aqaba)[10]
- Chariot wheels and other relics of the army of Pharaoh at the bottom of the Red Sea
- The site of the biblical Mt. Sinai (in Saudi Arabia at Jabal al Lawz)[11]
- A chamber at the end of a maze of tunnels under Jerusalem containing artifacts from Solomon's Temple (including the Ark of the Covenant)[12]
- The site of the Crucifixion of Jesus
- Christ's blood, dripped onto the Mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant beneath the Crucifixion site
