Biography
Wyatt worked as an anesthesia nurse at a hospital in Madison, Tennessee, when in 1960, he saw a picture on Durup's Life site. Nar, shaped like a boat on a mountain near Mount Ararat.

Reception
Wyatt is not considered credible by professional archaeologists and biblical scholars. The Garden Tomb Association of Jerusalem states in a letter they provide to visitors on request:
The Park Mausoleum Association Board (London) strongly denied the claim of Mr. Wyatt having found the original Ark of the Covenant or any other biblical artifact in the boundaries of the area known as the Jerusalem Cemetery. Although Mr. Wyatt was allowed to dig inside this privately owned park on a number of occasions (last chance of summer 1991), a staff member from the Association observed his progress and entered his excavated excavation. As far as we know, nothing was found to support his claim, nor did we see evidence of any Biblical artifacts or temple treasures.
Archaeologist Joe Zias of the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA) has stated that "Ron Wyatt is not an archaeologist or has ever conducted legal excavations in Israel or Jerusalem To dig a man must have at least a BA in archeology which he does not possess despite his contradictory claims.... [Claim] is included in the category of garbage found in tabloids such as National Enquirer , Sun etc. "
Wyatt's official organization Wyatt Archaeological Research (WAR) claims that the IAA has always known the excavations and issued "spoken permission" for most of them and official permission for all WAR excavations since 2002. However, the only evidence of WAR involvement in the excavation legally approved by the IAA with respect to the WAR of partial funding from the 2005 excavations.
The Evangelicals are also critical of Wyatt's claims: The Answers in Genesis call Wyatt's claim "fraudulent", and David Merling, a Seventh-day Adventist archeology professor discusses Wyatt's Noah's Ark issues and anchor rocks with the following:
While Durupinar's site is about the right length for Noah's ark, [it]... is too wide to be Noah's ark. Wyatt has claimed that the "boat shape" of this formation can only be explained by being Noah's ark, but both Shea and Morris have offered other plausible explanations. Likewise, Wyatt argued that the standing stones he found were anchors, while the Terians realized similar stones outside the site of Durupinar which was a kafir cults stone then converted by Christians for Christian purposes.
Death
Wyatt died on August 4, 1999, aged 66, at Baptist Central Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, after cancer. His detention was at the Polk Memorial Park Police Cemetery.
His friend Richard Rives wrote about him on his official web page:
Ron's ultimate goal in life is to "help someone into heaven." When considering an archaeological project, Ron's main consideration is "Will it help someone into heaven?" He will always say: "If it will not help someone enter heaven I do not want to do it."
Following Wyatt's death, the split developed between the official organization of Wyatt Archaeological Research (WAR), which he founded, and the independent ministries and interested individuals who had previously worked with the WAR. WAR claims to be the sole owner of all of Wyatt's photographs, bulletins, and other intellectual property. Other people known and working with Wyatt set up independent ministries and websites with the aim of promoting Wyatt's invention beyond the framework set by WAR.
