Noah's Ark found?

Satellite sleuth closes in on Noah’s Ark mystery
Images pinpoint Mount Ararat feature that may have inspired biblical saga

By Leonard David
Senior space writer

High on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey, there is a baffling mountainside "anomaly," a feature that one researcher claims may be something of biblical proportions.

Images taken by aircraft, intelligence-gathering satellites and commercial remote-sensing spacecraft are fueling an intensive study of the intriguing oddity. But whether the anomaly is some geological quirk of nature, playful shadows, a human-made structure of some sort, or simply nothing at all — that remains to be seen.

Whatever it is, the anomaly of interest rests at an elevation of 15,300 feet (4,663 meters) on the northwest corner of Mount Ararat, and is nearly submerged in glacial ice. It would be easy to call it merely a strange rock formation.

But at least one man wonders if it could be the remains of Noah's Ark — a vessel said to have been built to save people and selected animals from the Great Flood, the 40 days and 40 nights of deluge as detailed in the Book of Genesis.

The Genesis blueprint of the Ark described the structure as having a 6-to-1 length-to-width ratio (300 cubits by 50 cubits). The anomaly, as viewed by satellite, is close to that 6-to-1 proportion.

It's a long story, so I didn't print it all, but there's the link. Interesting.

"Noah!"
"Huh? Who's there?"

A moment of irreverence, perhaps. But the article made me think of Bill Cosby's Noah's Ark routine.

The bible never said anything about what happened to the ark after Noah, his family and the animals set foot on shore again.

I've heard of Noah's Ark being found, but I heard it was up near the North Pole area. Mel Gibson supposedly likes to fly over it.

The Bible says it came to rest on Mt. Ararat after the flood waters receded.

Well, I don't care if scientist can prove it is/isn't Noah's ark. I will still trust the biblical account through faith that it happened.

You would think that if the bible said it landed on Mt. Arafat thousands of years ago, people would have swarmed the place and found it by now.

Like if the bible told a bunch of kids that there's a magical cookie in the biggest sandbox in the world, they probably would have eaten it already.

Well the bible wasn't around while it would still be visible. By the time it was really printed the arc would have been buried by then.

*TN1F breaks into song:

Who built the arrr-rrk? NO-AH! NO-AH! Brother Noah built the Ark!!


I often have to sing this song when I talk about "Moses's ark" to remind myself Noah "built it".

In my opinion, it is definately not the ark because that was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo (that many o's to make my point) many years ago! All of it would be less than dust today so they should put away this search....

[size0]...brother noah built the ark!

I think the Turkish government has been pretty strict about allowing explorers up there.
