One expert said they were digging about 1/2 mile from the "ararat anomoly" Picture taken in 1949 by U.S. Air Force.
39°42′10″N 44°16′30″E Google Earth it.
Professor Porcher Taylor at the University of Richmond says he, too, believes it is not Noah's Ark, because "they're digging in the wrong place on Mt. Ararat."
Taylor says satellite imaging of the region about a half mile away from where the Chinese group says they found the ark shows what has been called "the Ararat anomaly," an area that has intrigued the U.S. intelligence community for years.
