Made it more clear that he was an amateur archeologist, not a professional one

The Temple Mount location has been the subject of several searches by Ron Wyatt, a registered nurse by training, and a Biblical archaeologist/historian in practice. Wyatt claimed to have found the Ark in 1982 [http://www.wyattarchaeology.com/ark.htm] after being divinely inspired; his search resulted in several images of gold which he claimed was the Ark, albeit blurry.

Wyatt had also found, among other things, the tombs of Noah, Abraham, Jesus, and numerous other Biblical figures; the sites of Sodom, Gomorrah, and the true Noah's ark; Moses' original Ten Commandments bound with a golden hinge; the true site of the Red Sea crossing; and many other things related to the Bible, all when he was on his vacations, which he could afford while working part-time [http://www.tccsa.tc/articles/wyatt.html]. His "achievements" led to severe criticism, most notably from Christian circles, his lack of formal training in archaeology notwithstanding. Needless to say, when comparred with the physical description given in the Bible about the Ark of the Covenant, Wyatt's claimed photos do not match.
