SOFIA, Bulgaria -- Could it be that Noah's Ark lies well-preserved somewhere in the inky depths of the Black Sea? A U.S.-Bulgarian scientific expedition is combing the Black Sea for traces of a lost civilization -- a mission that could shed more light on the controversial timing and site of the biblical Great Flood.

It would be quite appropriate if this guy Ballard finds the Ark.

Ballard IS NOT LOOKING FOR NOAH'S ARK.

This is about the 100th article I've seen about this expedition with a horrible headline that doesn't match the body of the article.

Ballard isn't looking for an Ark and certainly doesn't expect to find one. He's looking for evidence of a certain civilization. But retarded news editors can't resist the Ark headline. It's real media incompetence.

Let me see Mount Ararat, Black Sea. Hmmm, now there's a match hugh! Duh!

I doubt that this could be Noah's Ark. His ark rested on Mt Arat in Turkey. This is what the Bible says and it isn't wrong.
