I am so grateful for Joel Kramer’s work. As far as I’m concerned, he is cooler than Indiana Jones.
That's a pretty low bar. Indiana Jones is made by Disney, the most evil company in the world.
@@SavedbyGraceAlone1962 ha! Well, I’m referring to the Indiana Jones from the first few movies. Before the strange and demented changes Disney made to everything. Either way, this guy is cooler.
@@Dominick_Francione Joel seeks truth, Disney destroys truth.
Joel Kramer's work has strengthened my faith immensely. Through my faith being fortified, I now have more facts and more DESIRE to minister to others. Well done, gentlemen.
Joel Kramer’s work is AWESOME!
The passion that came overflowing from Joel in the end is just amazing! Jesus wants more people like this. Let’s stay excited and passionate about our LORD! Let’s keep digging and have answers prepared for skeptics! God bless all of you ❤️
I also recommend Kramer's video on how the prophecy about Babylon was fulfilled when he went there and compared the Biblical prophecy written in Scripture to what is Babylon right now. How accurately amazing was the Scripture.
Just type:
expedition Bible-exploring Babylon and the prophecies against her
Came back to this again.
Really great answers by Joel Kramer.
You got it!
I love Joel and his work . It's so obvious that he's a child of GOD .GOD bless him . GOD bless n keep you brother
Joel continues to astound me. He is saturated by the Holy Spirit. His words and wisdom just leave me amazed. Mentioning the Bereans and how young archeologists need to have critical thinking skills and the ability of discernment in a post modern world. Wow.
👍👍. I really like Joel. He does amazing work and an excellent job of explaining things. I bought his book where God Came Down. Really enjoy his work.
He’s great!
Joel your video Jesus the soul shepherd was one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. Shalom Brother
Thank You Joel for your persistence in searching these things out.
Joel you are amazing man! So God given! Your are so knowledgeable! Thanks for sharing your journey!😍
What a brilliant episode!! Praise God I found this ❤
This is sooooo good! Thank you Joel! You are both soooo credible, I can't wait to share this video to my "uber-intellectual" cousin who pooh-poohs the Bible as unimpressive and show him otherwise. Pls keep more of such videos coming, Sean!
Uber-intellectual 😂😂😂
Great interview! I enjoy all of Joel's films.
Joel Kramer is a gem. Been LOVING his YT channel, Expedition Bible- entertaining and super edifying. 🙏🏼🙌❤️
A must see channel!
Thank you for this. More please!
Wonderful, wonderful!!
God is our "plumbline"...our North...same yesterday, today and tomorrow 🙏.
Joel Kramer is an Archeologist Evangelist! Love it!
One of my favorite pod casts you've done. Faith is belief in the the unseen, but its good to read his calling card.
That’s great to hear!
GOD'S will and what HE says is reality and stands forever .
Absolutely amazing and fascinating. I could listen to Joel Kramer all day!
Thanks so much for the very insightful show. I’m going to buy Joel’s book and can’t wait to read it!
This video was super helpful. Thank you.
I've been binge-watching Joel Kramer's videos on youtube....so good. And I'm reading his book too. I highly recommend it.
This is the most informative discussion on Biblical archeology I have ever heard.
This was great! One thing, Sean could you turn up your mic some? Your mic is somewhat quieter than your guest.
🤍🙏✝️🤍Joel Kramer is doing amazing work and his illustrations help to bring more detail of the bible👍💯 Continue to do God's work Mr. Kramer and God bless you, I find to be so knowledgeable of the bible and archeology.
Love how you work and think Joel and yes the Bible is true. Your awesome
Sean-I love your videos but have noticed in most of them your audio is too low in volume and needs some EQ adjusting. Can you please get an audio person to help you resolve this? I think you could fix this with a mixer between your mic and audio interface. Thanks and keep up creating all the great videos. LOVE your work! Have been watching many of your videos in my Tuesday Apologetics group and have been blessed so much by them!
Vwry informative. I have watched a lot of Joel's videos lately very good
Fascinating! Thank you both for this
I have been looking forward to this ever since I saw it scheduled!
Then you might enjoy this: ruclips.net/video/3N0jHFnO9PA/видео.html
Awesome!
Thank you guys this is great a map wpukd have been gr8
Fantastic interview and archeology ✝️👏
When is part three? So good!
thank you joel for your common sense and commitment to truth. may God send more and more like you in this field for his glory alone. amen, Lord we desire more of you, remains of records of all that you did.
I just ordered your book "Where God Came Down" and am very excited to be able to read it. Thanks for the book and these interviews with Sean.
Are there pictures in this book?
@@karinrempel5862 It is filled with pictures, diagrams and maps that help you visualize the written information and gain perspective in linking the many archaeological sites with the Bible and each other. Enjoy!
This man is annointed , called by our MOST HIGH GOD !
Very interesting, thank you!
Great stuff!! Thank you so much. Makes me want to travel to these sights👍☺
Esther, it will completely revolutionize your life.
LOVE JOEL!!!!! Best guest ever! Love his stuff.
What I had heard on the chariot wheel is that it was a standard chariot wheel with gold plating but all that remained was the plating, the entire wheel was not made out of gold.
Exactly, the Bible also talks about Choice chariots in Exodus 14
Also, he took six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt with captains over every one of them.
Exodus 14:7 NKJV
To me that sounds like they were special "forces" or elite which would gold plated wheels stand out
Total scam...money making story
Joel is awesome
I missed the live broadcast but loved listening to Joel.
Have Joel back please!!!
Very well put, Brother. Babylon means confusion... this brings light to the Book of Revelation's passages regarding Mystery Babylon. Amen?
Love you kids!
Marrow west? How is that spelled?
I’d love to look into this. Fascinating
The place near Sudan, referencing the Yahweh inscription
Thank you for helping!!!
''That's awesome'' Sean is easily ''awed''.
He worships an awesome God!!
Didn't Ron Wyatt find Noah's Ark in Turkey, on the side of the mountains?!
He did. And I think the evidence he showed proved it. The compelling evidence for me was not just the Ark itself, but the grave stone of Noah’s wife depicting the Ark, the family of 8 that came off it, and the rainbow as a sign of God’s covenant. Then you have all the anchor stones that are in the area of the Ark. Very compelling evidence, I think.
Ron Wyatt says he has 'found' every biblical artifact you can name.
... Wyatt found Noah's ark between the mountains of Ararat. It is still in Turkey and is now in place as a Turkish National Park. Noah in Turkish is Nuh.
No sure if I misunderstood Joel Kramer but I got the impression that he repudiates several of the generally held Exodus evidence discovery reports. How do lay men know who to believe these days? What about the work and reports of Historical Faith Society and other groups like them? What’s the litmus test we should apply?
I love Joel Kramer's answer to what is his best archaeological evidence for the Bible? It's just everywhere. Great podcast.
Very informative interview
Thank you 🙂
Joel's youtube channel ROCKS.
Amagine if he had known of the Curse tablet released in March 2022. The inscription of YHW from Joshua's altar.
lol, the host McDowell nods along agreeably with all this, without any pushback at all.
For that, check out Viced Rhino here: ruclips.net/video/3N0jHFnO9PA/видео.html
Thank you!
My question to Joel would be, what is your explanation of the objects that Ron Wyatt found at the bottom of the Red Sea? I agree that gold is a poor metal to make chariot wheels from, but could they have been gold laden? How do you explain the encrusted features in the shape of chariot wheels and chariot hubs? How do you explain the pillars that mark the crossing site? All of which are on the path one would likely take from Egypt in route to Mount Sinai, fitting perfectly with the Exodus story.
Joel is the best one to ask....that story is a money making scam.
@@brendagifford1707 Really, Joel is the best one to ask? At the risk of worshipping at the alter of Joel Kramer, I’d like to keep an open mind. Yeshua (Jesus) gave me a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7) in which to question and test all things for truth according to His word. Are you saying that I should take Joel’s word for it and be done? No disrespect to Joel, but he is not God. He is a man like me, and we are both called to test the scriptures (1 Thessalonians 5:21). As for your claim that this is a money making scam, I don’t think Ron Wyatt died a rich man. At least, not monetarily speaking.
Or the columns erected by Solomon on each shore mentioned in the Bible, or the sand turned to glass at Neweiba beach where they crossed, or the underwater topography showing the land bridge or....this man is just ignorant about everything but archaeology, which is fine, I just wish he would focus on that and not give opinions about things he is clearly ignorant.
If you have him on again, I want to ask archeology regarding the City of Nain. I'm wondering if we have any written records from there, and if any of the extra-biblical witnesses have any significant things to say about Nain. Thank you!
I could listen to Joel for days. I will relisten to both interviews. Thank you both, so much!
How does this location (at 17:36) for Sodom & Gomorrah compare to a site being presented on the RUclips channel for HolyLandSite? Pastor Mike Fink? Or archaeologist Steven Collins and his suggusted site? I love your presentation and details. But it would help for you to point out various conflicting claims and the best evidence to support the one you are putting forward for Sodom & Gomorrah. It is hard for a lay person like me without knowledge on archaeology to track with all of the Internet info and claims. Maybe this could be another presentation with Sean? Would love that!
Great suggestion, thanks!
I enjoyed this interview. Thank you.
I know I’m taking this verse out of context, but I keep thinking of what Jesus said during the triumphal entry: “the stones will cry out.”
WOW, how is 1406 the late 15th century? I need to see it on a time-line I guess. I have to think about A.D. century dates too. Thanks for these evidentiary vids Sean.
Sean, turn your volume on.
Just curious has the memorial that Moses built when the Israelites crossed the Red Sea ever been found?
@Sean I understand we can dismiss Ron Wyatt on the Ark of the Covenant and Jesus's blood dripping on the Mercy seat and gold chariot wheels in Red Sea because others haven't found them ... but what about Mt Sinai being in Saudi Arabia and the Split Rock, Altar of Golden Calf, etc. which even seems to be witnessed by others too with their own photos and videos ?
AV, I think the rock of our Foundation is Christ, alone. I've followed those claims for years, but now hold onto them lightly, I just don't know..
@AV, is it reasonable to assume that ancient people observed natural formations (mountains with black tops, split rocks, Elijah's cave, etc.) and wrote stories to fit what they observed? Much like how 'prophecies' were retrofitted to OT passages taken out of context and misrepresented?
What are the odds that Ron Wyatt (a nurse anesthetist) who had no formal training in archaeology would find EVERYTHING that confirms the Bible? If the stories about Ron Wyatt are to be believed, he is the single most accomplished archaeologist who ever lived. Ron was a self-appointed archaeologist just like Saul/Paul was a self-appointed apostle. He was not a scientist, he never published any of his "finds" in a peer-reviewed archaeology journal. He never made any of his supposed discoveries available for trained archaeologists to examine.
People write stories to explain what they observe according to their own bias. The Israelites had a highly inflated view of who they were in relation to their specific god and the Bible is a product of that. Do you take the Bible literally, that everything written in it is true and that it is historically pristine?
@@cindychristman8708 interesting thought .. so if we do not find evidence for something, then we can conclude that its false. If we find evidence, then we can conclude ancient people made stories to fit that so called evidence.
So if we can just dismiss the claims of Ron Wyatt just because he was a nurse anesthetist and a self-appointed archaeologist who had no formal training in archaeology, you must be a formally trained archaeologist who first made these judgements in your peer-reviewed archaeology journal.
@@AnubPhilip As an example, there is no evidence for Jews being enslaved in Egypt, nor for them wandering in a desert the size of Rhode Island for 40 years and if that had truly happened I would expect there to be evidence. Since there isn't, I tentatively conclude that it's false.
I look at the "evidence" for chariot wheels (actually it's one wheel which has since disappeared or was lost somehow) and ask what's more likely, what's more reasonable? Is it more likely that Ron planted it, is it more likely that what he saw was 'table coral', what's more likely, that Ron found chariot wheels at a depth of 200 feet with scuba gear that was designed to go only to 100 feet? And heaven forbid one of those wheels should fall off a ship mid-voyage. How do you or Ron even know this is the right location and not the Sea of Reeds?
When I look at Noah's Ark, how likely is it that wood would survive for 4000 years? As to wood and metal being found, isn't it more likely that these are the remains of ancient mountain shelters, and that the "boat-shaped" object is a natural formation? Read articles in Answers in Genesis and Debunking Christianity (5/31/2008) for critiques and rebuttals to Ron's 'research'.
I trust the experts in the field that attempt to be as objective as possible and aren't led by their biases. Ron went into these expeditions with a foregone conclusion and was looking for evidence to confirm. That's not how archaeology or history is done.
@@cindychristman8708 I would have tried to hear what you had to say but you yourself just said I should not give an ear to any self-appointed archaeologist. So are these statements of your been already peer-reviewed in an archaeology journal ?
Joel please do a whole vid about ron wytt, if his stuff is obviously wrong and stupid then people need to know, this stuff as you know are way more popular than real archeology, an in-depth debunk video would be hughly helpful to critically thinking christians
an interesting note on the shroud of turin: the $1m challengeto the british museum. if it was a art work, can someone plz replicate something similar so that we can at least consider this option. until then, the evidence seem to lean heavily on the authenticity of the shroud that dates 2000 yrs ago and was the best and most vivid example of a strange victim of crucifiction whose wounds strikingly match that of Jesus.
That date is pretty on the dot....Glory to our Christ
So, the existence of New York demonstrates that truth of Spider Man's existence. Right?
It does??! Who knew?
iIn all the information I have seen or heard on the red sea crossing I have never heard of gold chariot wheels. Most of what I have heard is not from Ron Wyett either.
When u say that they found this text east of Egypt isn’t that quite far from Israel. I thot their wanderings for 40 years were not a large vast area.
I would have wanted Joel to explain why he discounts Ron Wyatt's Noah's Ark. They've now down the scans on it which seem to show timber and metal within the structure exactly where one would expect? I understand that Ron Wyatt suposedly found many things and many have been found to be false, but I remain quite convinced about Noah's ark after the scans they did on it...
The sound quality is really poor. I'd love to listen but it's pretty much impossible
Thanks so much for this!
For the misinformation?
@@edgarmatzinger9742 I wonder which bit you're thinking of?
@@biddiemutter3481 Everything? The story of Jericho in the bible doesn't match up with reality.
Why is John Kramer not acknowledging that Noah's ark was found in the mountains south of Mt. Ararat & the gov of Turkey's acknowlegdement of Ron Wyatt's discovery?
Sean you are barely audible. I hope there's spomething you can do about that. Your content is amazing: very informative & fascinating.
My question for Dr. Kramer: does he open doors in an abrupt fashion and then awkwardly stumble in?
Seinfeld reference, 1000 kudos!
Titus has much the same story. He published peer reviewed paper and got video, so hopefully all the attention will get this in front of the public.
I thought Ron Wyatt found the Ark and even Noah’s dwelling! I’d have to wonder how and why a believer (albeit a superstitious one) would or could falsify evidence!
Its true Ron Wyatt did find the Ark
Im so surprised this is not better known
They have even got a museum built next to it
You can find it on Google earth
According to Dr. Nehemiah Gordon (an orthodox) the name is known but the vowels have been kept secret until recently. The Yod Hey Vav Hey is all the same. What is different is the unknown vowels…. it’s Yehovah (Jehovah in English)
Actually it was gold played wheels not solid gold. No one said they were made of gold.the other chariots were coral formations that were shaped like axels abd wheels
AWESOME talk and Q/A it is so amazing to hear this evidence from archeology!
It wasn't evidence. It was his misrepresenting the historical evidence that goes against the biblical story
Joel Kramer are you saying that Ron Wyatt and his crew have it wrong and the Noah's arc is not found yet?
Sounds like another archeologists dismissing Wyatts finding... the grave, the house ruins, the anchor stones, all the work gone into trying to excavate and get underground pings etc... Ron's wife and her new husband (last name Lee) are STILL not giving up defending his findings.
Dear@@Grillenheimer
Actually, the vast majority of Christian archaeologists and scientists who are Christians, do not consider the claims of Wyatt to be reliable or scholarly.
Concerning Wyatt's claim to have found Noahs Ark
Wyatt became aware of a site that some earlier explorers thought was the site of Noah's Ark, known as the Durupınar Site. Wyatt went to the site and "evaluated" it and concluded it was Noah's Ark.
Dr. Snelling (a Christian geologist) has investigated some of the claims of Wyatt and has written an evaluation of Wyatt's claims from a scientific perspective. He has stated that the issue is fairly well settled. There is no reasonable evidence that would lead any one to conclude that the Durupınar Site is Noah' Ark.
Dr. Snelling has give a detailed refutation, of Wyatt's claims that the Durupınar Site is Noah's Ark, exposing many of Wyatt's misleading claims. Here is a link to that refutation:
(answersingenesis.org/creationism/arguments-to-avoid/special-report-amazing-ark-expose/)
The Scientist who Wyatt quotes, has dismissed Wyatt's Claim.
"Baumgardner, a geophysicist, was able to perform several scientific tests on the site, such as magnetometry, ground-penetrating radar, seismic, and finally, core drilling. Although he was at first open to the possibility that the site was the Ark, Baumgardner now contends he has disproved the hypothesis, especially by the core-drilling, which revealed only the sorts of rock on the nearby hillsides, and nothing of archaeological significance.
(answersingenesis.org/creationism/arguments-to-avoid/special-report-amazing-ark-expose/)
Wyatt's use of his "molecular frequency generator", which was essentially "dowsing rods" (Divining Rods), to conduct some of his site evaluations at the Durupınar Site.
This the stuff pseudoscience is made of and should set off a lot of little red flags exposing Wyatt's lack of scholarship and reasonable, objective evaluations.
There is no evidence or reason to believe much of anything that Ron Wyatt claimed. He has no respect in the Christian scientific community or the Christian archaeological community. Both consider him to be a fraudster and a treasure hunter.
Be Well

heve you seen anyting about Ron wyatt?

I wish Sean could fix his volume. I can't hear him at all. I can hear Joel clearly, though.
So thankful for Joel's thoughts on the Shroud of Turin. For a long time I have wondered why no one discussing the Shroud of Turning ever address the problem of John 20:7, that Jesus's face cloth was a separate piece of material and that the Shroud doesn't match the Biblical description of burial wrappings.
Sean: Before you do this again, you should check that your sound level output is comparable to your guest's. In this particular case, you're far below the guest's audio level.
I got sucked into many of the stories... ok unlearn start again... praise God..
Have witnessed many things in the sky last couple years and started taking pictures couple years ago.Book of Ezekiel talks about ship's.Strongs concordance bible dictionary in Greek and Hebrew helps to understand.So glad I bought one couple years ago.E.Raymond Capt Lost tribes of Israel found and his other teachings are mind blowing.Cant figure out what his first name is I'm guessing Enoch?Just a guess.Look into rapture theory.💪😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This was excellent. Thank you.
Why don't other Christian scholars believe Ron Whyte finding the Ark and his claim/evidence that he found it decades ago?

Sean, your interviews are so superb, but your microphone settings are way off and out is sync with that of you guests. Your volume is extremely low, but your guests can be heard fine. Please do something!
Thanks. I’m trying to figure out how to do this better. I’ve got someone lined up to help me, but it’s taking a little time. I’m glad they’re helpful!
@@SeanMcDowell That's great to know and thanks for your reply! 🙏🏼 I really hope you read this because I need and want to thank you for something far more important and personal!! 🕊 The Holy Spirit inexplicably and miraculously drew our hearts to Jesus after my husband and I renounced Islam 6 years ago (shortly after ISIS demonically burned the Jordanian pilot alive in a cage), however, it was your (coauthored) book, More Than A Carpenter, that was absolutely pivotal in cementing our confidence in knowing that we could trust the Gospel account of Jesus and the overall authenticity of the Bible in our minds! After having been deceived and brainwashed our entire lives (50 years) by Islam's false and demonic (anti-Christ) teachings, it is your incredibly powerful little gem of a book of that gave us the critical insights, historical facts, and intellectual reassurance we so desperately needed in order to be reassured that we were not falling spiritually prey (once again) to another false and man made "religion". We were armed with indisputable evidence and could walk--actually run-- to Jesus with our eyes wide open and our brains turned on...unlike in islam! The quran's fake "facts" and islamic theology fall apart the deeper you dig into them and learn (and it actually really doesn't take much digging once the scales fall off your eyes), but hallelujah and praise Yahweh, the more we learn about and read the Bible, the more it continues to illuminate and astound us in every way... its accuracy, veracity, wisdom and beauty! (That's why I absolutely loved these discussion with Joel Kramer--the best form of apologetics!) From the depths of our hearts and souls, my husband and I want to express our deep gratitude to you and your father for your noble and invaluable work! You will never truly know immense the eternal impact that the fruit of your labor has had in just our immediate family's life! Our daughter is now 17 and, amen, she is blessed to have been raised knowing the glorious truth, mercy and love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! The best part is that we don't have to force or brainwash her to believe in Him! There is undeniable evidence and a rational path to fortify her faith, which is even more important for her in this day and age! My husband and I thank you and your father for all the love, hard work and sacrifices that you (and your family) made and out into researching, writing, and publishing MTAC! You have blessed us beyond imagination along with undoubtedly hundreds of thousands if not millions of others! I keep copies to give to others whenever the opportunity arises! May God bless you and your entire family with a long, healthy life as you embody the words in 1Peter 3:15 and equip others to do the same!! Your voice is an important one that I want to hear and listen to for a very long time...so get that mic 🎤🎧 taken care of asap! 😁🙏🏼 May the peace of Christ be ever with you! If I don't ever get the privilege of meeting you this side of heaven, I'll be waiting to give you a big hug on the other side! 💕🕊✝️
@@JoyCrossbridgeBless you for your amazing testimony! ❤
