Ron Wyatt and his Amazing Archaeological Discoveries
A man named Ron Wyatt discovered the Ark of the Covenant hidden in caves in the area of Jerusalem beneath the actual crucifixion site of Jesus.

June 12, 1775 - Give up your guns and give up your friends - and we’ll give you peace? No deal said the Patriots. And it’s an attitude modern Americans would do well to heed.
