This is a photo of the press conference. Yeah. That looks legit.
Again?
How many of them arks are up there anyway?
Did they find the pot-o-gold, too - oh wait, that’s something else.
Everybody Wing-cheung tonite!
no shite sherlock how much did the chinese pay the Turks to go up that mountain so they could get the grant to excavate
If this was/is true then why have we not seen it since? The world is hundreds of times more corrupt today than at anytime in history.
I'm calling BS... just another fairy tale...
I have seen so many supposed findings of Noah’s Ark that I am not keen to believe without strong evidence - fossilized Unicorn poop should be enough!

Thee dating of 4800 years ago is over 300 years after thee beginning of ancient Egypt.
You could build a house with the all relics of the True Cross. I’m guessing you could build a modest sized navy with all the arks on Ararat.

Why is it that no one ever includes pictures? BTW...that area has always been considered to be a likely spot. Wood has been discovered there before but the weather is so harsh that the site continually gets buried by snow or noone can get up there. I read a few years ago that Turkey banned people from exploring the area. It wouldn’t be surprising if they do so again.
Oh good, it’s been found again.
In the 70’s some guy came to our church, telling us a fantastic story about seeing the arc.
Unfortunately his camera and film were confiscated by the government.(Don’t remember which).
There are pictures, for those who do not mind “wading” through a little Chinese:

Also, the assumption that the many “close encounters” represent too much material for a single craft is built on an assumption of maximum possible craft size. If that assumption is wrong, a single large craft could account for all the specimens thus far found and more. Just sayin …
As for theological considerations, the ark is a unique signpost in Biblical history. One would not expect God to run that show multiple times because he promised he would only do it once with water.
Furthermore, this would be an interesting time for us to discover the ark. God flooded the earth once in judgment of human sin, then revealed it through Peter to be a prototype of the final judgment. One object lesson. One final judgment. If it turns out to be a credible find, what might God be telling us?

Hmmm— we have the Bible account, the Gilgamesh account, —I would wild guess that probably every city in the Elam to Susa to Mari district built a ship to evacuate from the city to escape the flood. Everyone saw Noah building a huge vessel that couldn`t be hidden in a back yard. So I would venture that the jig was up and everyone copied Noah, just as every 1950`s small town in US had at least one crazy guy building a bomb shelter because of the Russian nuclear threat by Bear bombers. I built one too, in 1957, only one in town-ha!
God: “Noah ... This is the Lord ...”
Noah: “Riiiiiiiight !!!”
Thoght this might interest you Quix.

Interesting post, thanx. Now pictures and a video have been released as well.
As you can tell from the comments on this thread and others, a discovery of this magnitude (if proven to be real and not a hoax) will not change people’s minds. The mockers will continue to mock and ridicule just as Peter said they would (2 Peter 3:3-8).
For those who already believe, their faith will be strengthened.
