That site has been discovered over and over and reported over and over. Logistically impossible.

Perhaps this will show that “global warming” is cyclical ...
Reminds me of a girl back in college....
Whoah!
After the ark settled on Ararat, Noah lowered the ramp and told all the animals to go forth and multiply.
The last animal was landed, he sees they have all headed off in different directions, except two snakes at the bottom of the ramp, sunning themselves.
“Did you not hear me?” asks Noah
They replied, “We can’t multiply. We’re adders.”
I would suspect they lived on the boat for some time.
THE SMELL OF MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I know is that my mule, chickens and steer help to make me some OUTSTANDING compost...and I have the tomatoes to prove it! ;)
like the petrified forest in AZ
Ever been there? I have a couple of times.
Yes, they found munitions. That pecker was armed.
adders
LOL
You know it, Baby! :)
I consider the topic inspirational.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood...
עֲשֵׂה לְךָ תֵּבַת עֲצֵי־גֹפֶר
chest, box, case; Noah's Ark; word (written or printed); bar, measure (music)
I always find the best stuff. Top [book]shelf. Here's a great article covering several ideas for the etymology of teiva, but just to focus on this one, because "metathesis":
...Rabbi Shlomo Zalman of Hanau writes that the word teivah means "box, chest" and refers to the written word because books that contain written words are stored in a teivah.In Biblical Hebrew, teivah means “ark” or “closet.” For example, Noah’s Ark is called a teivah (Gen. 6–9), as was the basket wherein baby Moses was placed (Ex. 2:3). In Mishnaic Hebrew, teivah refers to the Holy Ark of a synagogue which houses the Torah Scrolls, or to the table (also known as bimah) upon which the Torah Scrolls are placed while being read.
In a previous article (“A Tale of Two Arks,” 2016), I cited Rabbi Aharon Marcus (1843-1916) who argues that the word teivah is related to the word bayit (“house”) by way of metathesis (both words contain the same letters). This implies that a teivah, in some ways, is like a person’s home. Based on this, I would say that teivah denotes a "word" as a sort of house for all the letters to come together in that house or box.
Make thee an ark of gopher [גפר] wood...
גֹּֽפֶר m.n. ‘gopher’ (a kind of wood of which Noah’s ark was made). [Of unknown origin. Perhaps related to Akka. giparu.]
גֹּפֶר gôpher, go'-fer; from an unused root, probably meaning to house in; a kind of tree or wood (as used for building), apparently the cypress:—gopher.
Of unknown origin and thus the debates roll on, yet by way of metathesis (pitched and tossed about by rough seas):
gopher [גפר] ---> peger [פגר]:
carcass, cadaver, carrion, roadkill
Make thee an ark of... carcass wood?
It's actually the simple meaning:
chest, box, case; Noah's Ark; word (written or printed); bar, measure (music)
AI Overview
Learn moreIn the context of cabinet making, "carcass wood" refers to the structural framework of a cabinet, essentially the box that holds the doors, drawers, and shelves. It's the hidden, foundational part of a cabinet, supporting all the visible components. Carcass wood is usually made from materials like plywood, MDF, or particleboard, chosen for their durability and ability to withstand the stresses of everyday use.
***
In the context of construction and furniture, "carcass" refers to the main structural framework or shell of a cabinet, cupboard, or other piece of furniture, excluding doors, drawers, and other visible components. It's the underlying box or structure that provides support and shape.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Shell of a Structure:
The carcass is essentially the "skeleton" or "box" of a cabinet. It's made up of the sides, back, top, and bottom of the cabinet.Excluding Doors and Drawers:
The carcass does not include the doors, drawers, or any other visible parts of the furniture. It's the foundation upon which these elements are later attached.Common Materials:
Carcasses are typically made from materials like plywood, particleboard, or other engineered wood products, often with a plain finish.In Construction:
The term "carcass" can also be used to describe the main structural framework of a building, excluding flooring, roofing, and other finishes.In Furniture:
In furniture, a carcass is a box-like construction made from planks, as opposed to mortise and tenon construction.Types of Carcasses:
There are different types of carcasses, such as base cabinets, wall cabinets, and other specialized types depending on their intended use.

The Arzap drogue stones are a number of large standing stones found near the Durupınar site by amateur archaeologist Ron Wyatt with the aid of David Fasold and others. Fasold interpreted the artifacts as drogues, stone weights used to stabilize the Ark in rough seas, because they all have a chamfered hole cut at one end as if to fasten a rope to them, and his reading of the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Babylonian mythical account of the flood, suggested to him that such stones were used.[8][24]
>>>
A geological investigation of samples from the stones, published by geologist Lorence Collins in co-authorship with their original discoverer David Fasold, found that they are of local rock and thus could not have been brought from Mesopotamia, the Ark's supposed place of origin.[15]

Perhaps Noah and the Ark simply came around full circle.
The total time Noah spent in the ark was 365 days (one solar year; one year and 11 days on the lunar calendar).
More from Words for Words, rough seas:
Interestingly, Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson proposes that the English word word is actually derived from the Hebrew word davar by way of metathesis and the interchangeability of the w-sound and the b/v-sound). If he is right, then the same could be said of the English word's Germanic siblings wort in German and vort in Yiddish (with the d- sound and the t-sound interchanging), as well as the English word's Latin cousin verb (via labialization, whereby the d-consonant after the r-consonant in Proto-Indo-European morphs into a b-consonant in Latin).
A well-known letter reversal is that Noah [נח] is grace [חֵן]
= 58, which reverses to 85. It never ends.
Sorry for any typos, general goof ups. I'm really tired, literally having spent several long days digging up.. sod.
Still just some millions of years old geology. Earlier on FR:
How can you tell it isn’t Gilgamesh’s story that’s being proven true?
Noah was a wee little man,(No.......wait a minute.......that was Zacchaeus. Never mind.)
a wee little man was he.
He climbed up in to the sycamore tree
to see what he could see.
But I did call Archibald Henderson sonny.
