The links above really don't prove anything except:
1.
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg claim to not have used him as inspiration towards the movie (so they say). It may have been a
coincidence that the two stories were so similar, but George Lucas and Steven Spielberg could also be trying to avoid certain lawsuits that this could
spark too.
2.
The name came from a dog named "Indiana". Hmmm... were either of the Jones boys dogs. Who cares? That does not even come close to
discrediting Vendyl's claims. To be honest none of this movie stuff discredits him at all. You have to admit the similarities are there and this may
just be wishful thinking on Vendyl's part. Who wouldn't want to be the inspiration for some of the most memorable movie titles in history?

You have two people who claim to have found the ark. Neither of which up to this point can verify or prove they are correct. The second
article above seems to me to be a lot of raving about how evil Vendyl Jones is. This is one persons opinion about a man who seems to be very admimate
about his claims. The way he goes on and on though, well... it just seems kind of fanatical to me. Just my opinion. Where are the photos that this
person took of the ark? Show me the ark and I will stand corrected. For that matter prove to me that Vendyl Jones ever crossed the threshold of this
persons front door.

He is not an arkhiologist. Well, I never graduated with a programming degree either, but I have programmed several programs. Am I a
programmer? Some would say yes and some would say no. I would consider myself a programmer (hobby) just as Vendyl Jones would consider himself an
arkhiologist. A professor of programming on the other hand might say I lack the background and basics tought at a university so how could I possibly
be a programmer, just as others are saying Vendyl lacks the credentials to obtain licencing to uncover this artifact.
Somebody has a little faith in his ideas:
A credible Torah teacher, who hails from Texas, Jones has represented the Israeli Foreign Minister in a two-year lecture series on college campuses
with P.L.O. representatives.
Rabbi Adin Israel Steinsalz, head of the Institute for Talmudic researkh and thought to be the world’s most renowned Talmudic scholar called
Jones’ work, "Scientifically valid researkh which may result in important findings for the Jewish people and the world."
One thing to note would be that I have read that he has actually uncovered other artifacts that lead to the ark.

Non-believers may be interested to know that Jones has already discovered some of the holy items associated with the ark.
Are these claims false? Are there photos of these supposed artifacts? If he has in fact found these artifacts how can you dismiss these claims so
easily?
Wyatt said he had some:
Photographic evidence was obtained, and then the site was covered back over with 12 feet of dirt and a garden established. Wyatt says it was
landscaped to avoid controversy. The entrance to the system of caves and tunnels, found by the Wyatt team in the cliff wall was also sealed over.
Avoid contreversy????? Where are the photos? Anyone know where I can see some of these photos that Wyatt took? Oh, thats right it was a secret...
Seems kind of convenient to me. At least Vendyl claims he is going to reveal it in all its splendor.
I'm not saying that he is going to find it or he isn't. I am asking for some substantial information to discredit Vendyl.
And Nygdan, the reason I was asking about the idea of a Holy War is not unwarrented weather or not he actually does find the ark. Some may not want
to give him the chance to even try to find it.
Wyatt claimed that he was authorized to make his excavations by the Antiquities Department, but that bureaucrats within that agency insisted that his
findings must be kept secret. He was told that Jewish extremists might view the discovery as a sign that it was time to rebuild the ancient Temple in
Jerusalem. The Muslim Dome of the Rock now sits on the site that Jewish fundamentalists believe must one day be destroyed and a new Jewish temple
built.
