Was Vendyl Jones involved? I’ve heard he’s done a lot of searching for biblical artifacts. Then again, I’ve also heard that some people think he’s a crackpot. I wouldn’t know one way or the other, but his name was the first to pop into my head.
I do not recall Missler mentioning Vendyl Jones.
BTW: Audio messages from Missler are available from blueletterbible.org. I am just half way through the book of Revelation after listening to Jeremiah, Hebrews, and Ruth.
