Icon of person Ron Wyatt

Ronald Eldon Wyatt (June 2, 1933 – August 4, 1999), was an American nurse anesthetist and pseudo archaeologist, who claimed to have made almost 100 biblical archaeology discoveries. One of his more notable claims is the supposed landing place of Noah's Ark at the Durupınar site. Wyatt's claims have been described as "fraudulent", in "the category of trash which one finds in tabloids such as the National Enquirer", and been criticized by scientists, historians, biblical scholars, and some creationists.
