Was the “photojournalist” a real, trained photographer or just a terrorist with a GoPro camera picking up a few extra bucks from AP?
I imagine it looked more like a flatboat, and after the water receded it would have been dismantled for housing, pens, firewood.
I can look at the picture, do you see evidence of a body of water? I’d say there was water there at some point in time that caused erosion, like say perhaps a flood situation?
The latter most likely.

I doubt much got dismantled.... Since it came to rest on the mountain, I would imagine that it also served as temporary quarters until the water receded to the point where they could get off the mountain. There might have been enough supplies onboard to look after them for years but besides, growing crops and other husbandry activities etc. isn’t that great on mountains.....and so I think it would be an objective to get off the mountain as soon as they could. Scriptures say that Noah was building it for 120 years and there is no record of how many others were employed in the effort. As a structure that large, I doubt that much of it would get disassembled since there really wasn’t any need to do that.
I got interested in this topic years ago and was fascinated by the amount of literature that was found concerning an expedition by the Russians in 1916... way too much literature and records for it to be an obvious hoax that they found the ark. If I had the time and resources to research anything, it would be to first get to the bottom of some of that bit of history to establish the veracity of it.
It appears to be cooled Pyroclastic flow. Lava weathers very slowly compared to everything around it.
But what I was getting to was that your statement implies that it is a boat and that it did float at some point. So seeing how it is not a boat when water was there last is irrelevant.
Butfrom what I have read it about the geology it was formed under water millions of years ago.
But I also need to explain that in no way do I discredit the concept of a flood. Geology around the world does indeed indicate a major flood event. But it doesn’t fit the timeline the Bible tries to claim. In fact the origin of the flood story was plagiarized from the Sumerian writings a thousand years earlier.
“Everyone with a cell phone claims to be a “photojournalist” these days.”
They are. Nothing in the Constitution says you have to have a degree from a communist university to be a member of the press. Numerous court decisions have affirmed the right of anyone to act as a reporter.
We do not know that to be the case. According to his report, scans elude to it being a boat structure. No digging has begun. No I wasn't implying that it is a boat. In fact, I started with that the Ark, #3, has not been proven and remains that way, but that it looks promising. Perhaps I should have stated why it looks promising, because of scans etc. Sometimes we all take short cuts thinking our comments, in my case implying that it is not proven at all, as being sufficient so as to not get verbose, or just to be lazy. 🤣
I further said that if it is proven, there will be people who will deny it, and then added; how will they explain it being there.
That picture is grainy, and thus gives the appearance of being a lava flow, however, if you look at this picture, one gets a vastly different impression of the landscape in question. The other picture, in my opinion, is the lidar scan image.
Here is that other picture taken from Wikipedia:
Lidar scan image? That impression at the bottom of the image sure looks like a boat to me:
Oh, well. At least we can still say that we landed on the Moon. . . Or did we???
Digging was done, The rock is aged the same as all the rest around it, and the Geology is absolutely solid.
This is grasping at straws to invent something that is just not there. Just like the 15th century young earth movement. All logical evidence of factual geology completely refutes it beyond any reasonable doubt.
It's interesting that most people think the Bible says the entire earth was covered but evolutionists (not science) claim otherwise. Actually evolutionist academics do commmonly believe the entire earth was covered in water early in its history (see for example https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/04/harvard-scientists-determine-early-earth-may-have-been-a-water-world/. But the evidence they cite correlates with Genesis 1:2, not the kataklusmos of Noah's time. So the difference is that evolutionists believe the earth was completely covered in water once, while Genesis records that it was covered twice. Which is funny when you encounter extreme skepticism from people who find the whole idea of the earth being covered outlandish.
Let's see... which of these might be useful in covering up an epidemic, sneaking garbage into medicine, making and hiding a killer 'vaccine', quashing any online or printed information regarding the source ore treatment of a virus, who might benefit from from panic buying and stockpiling...
My money is on 'ling-ling' being available this evening, Senator/General/Mr. chairman...
Look at the listed professions.
That wasn’t a brothel, it was a compromise operation. Likely operated by the Chinese (and thus protected by our captured government).
I'll defer to you about the geological aspect of the area, because it's not something that ever interested me to begin with. Thus I have no knowledge, or even an opinion on the topic.
I also never said it was true, nor did I imply that it was true. I stated that if it is proven to be true, then those denying it need to explain how the Ark got there. Just a statement, and not one made with anything other than information provided & an assessment regarding deniers if proven true. 🙂
“I stated that if it is proven to be true, then those denying it need to explain how the Ark got there.”
Being hypothetical. I understood. I was just making the point it will never be proven to be true because based on geological fact it can’t be proven to be true. This is why they always use the terms “may” and “might” in these articles.
The recent article about this Ark find was simply a marketing ad in an effort to increase new tourist traffic to that area of Turkey. And probably also to try and procure new funding for other digs.
Kentucky, right?
Okay, understood. 👍 🙂
Your post is a breath of fresh air. Too many skeptics for my liking. The footprint of the ark is similar to the modern ocean-going barge. This is the most stable boat to be in under high seas, winds, storms etc.
From my research I’d conclude the 2 paired animals were juveniles or the youngest age chosen to survive a year+ in harsh conditions. Also most animals have defense mechanisms where under high stress many of them hibernate thereby reducing needs for added food and waste removal.
Here’s a link that explains the hydroplate theory (replaces plate-techtonics) authored by Dr. Walt Brown, a scientist who has spent over 4 decades refining this theory as well as all the reasons evolution does not work at creationscience.com.
