  1. Ark(s)

    “There’s a tremendous amount of solid evidence that the structure found on Mount Ararat in Eastern Turkey is the legendary Ark of Noah,” said Aalten.

    Not necessarily. While what they have discovered may indeed turn out to be a genuine historical artifact, unless they found some engraving with the initials of Noah, it doesn’t mean it is THE ark.

    Maybe it’s another evidence of a very advanced sea-faring civilization in the distant past. The prehistoric equivalent of our container ships, perhaps?

  2. Noah’s big adventure
    Keeping in mind the location… as in how would another type of ancient wooden ship of this size wind up on top of a landed mountain range, the case for Noah’s Ark seems worthy as a starting point.

    The size is fairly enough by itself to lend a bit of creedence to the claim, if it should indeed bear out.

    The Ark was roughly 450 feet long and 75 feet wide, which would make it about the same width and half the length of a WW2 aircraft carrier, ah-la the USS Yorktown. Compare that to the largest of the fleet of Columbus’ first voyage – the Santa Maria – that was about 70 feet in length and 30 in width at the scuppers.

    The size is impressive enough alone when compared to even modern vessels, much less to those of times that we ‘assume’ were lacking the abilities to produce such scale.

    On top of all of this, the pictures provided by the website referenced in the Fox News story are themselves a bit moving as well.

    The only thing that crops up is what I was taught as a child in Sunday School, that Noah and those survivors of the flood, used the wood from the ark to build other things when it was all over, which would seem entirely logical considering what the land had just been through.

    I love a good Ark adventure and there have been many over the years. I have oft wondered what it would be if and when someone finally discoveredthe real deal, should it actually exist.

    This will be a tale worth following 🙂

  3. more arks
    is this the same one they found 8 or 9 years back?
    Apparently there is a ship 2 thirds up and then another 1 near the top which is covered by snow and ice. It was discovered by military satalite 4 or 5 years back. A covert team of seals spent a week there collecting atifacts.
    Could have been a few ships floating around that time zone.

    Or a major tsunami could have dumped a few ships there with only the largest, which would have been built the best, surviving the time.

    Carbon dating is not necessarily accurate so the time could be older going by some research about carbon release slower at very cold temps.

  4. Impossible to believe
    I find it impossible to believe that a man and his 3 sons could hew timber, dress it (by hand), shape the necessary components and fixing pieces and assemble a vessel of any considerable size, not to mention travel (in what?) to collect the required animals in just seven days.

    Please – it’s a romantic story, but it just can’t have a basis in fact.

    1. you got that right
      I find most stories in the bible a little strange. If the GOD of the bible was so infinite and powerful, why not just pluck up Noah and his kin, destroy everything (humainly) and plop them back. Enock was plucked up and spent 300 odd years up there with the “angles” learning stuff and writting a book.
      If they do find a timber ship it still has more then one explaination how it got there.
