Jones' escapades and explorations were the inspiration for the blockbuster movie 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' of the 'Indiana Jones' trilogy. The man who wrote the first draft of the film, Randolph Fillmore, was one of the volunteers who worked with Jones in 1977.Dr. Jones also predicts the future based on scripture.
"I agreed to help him write the movie," Jones said, "as long as - number one - he wouldn't set it here (In Israel). Some people believe the ark is in Ethiopia or Egypt, some believe its in Constantinople or Rome. I just didn't want it to be portrayed as being here. The second thing was, 'Don't use my name.' So he didn't. My name is Vendyl - V-E-N-D-Y-L. So he just dropped the first and last letters and it ended up Endy Jones."
Although at the time of the film, Jones was far from pinpointing the location of the Ark, he has come a long way since then. With the help of an ancient document found in Qumran together with the Dead Sea Scrolls, known as the "Copper Scroll", Dr. Jones has pinpointed the location of the Ark of the Covenant.
(I'm a little suspicious of the "Endy Jones" explanation--wasn't Indiana Jones named after George Lucas' dog, Indiana? Did it just happen to work out that conveniently?)
Dr. Vendyl Jones has a website.

He's not an archaeologist but a big fat fraud, womanizer and drunk! His blasphemous ways will surely damn him to hell! Plus his wife's ex-husband lives with them and works for them...sick, sick, sick...and none of them are Jewish and it's amazing that this man can con so many unsuspecting folks looking for religion and acceptance. All tha know these people know the truth.
