Does An Ancient Tablet Tell the Real Story of Noah’s Ark?

Wall Street Journal ^ | 03/27/2014 | By JAVIER ESPINOZA

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

In almost every civilization there is a flood story with a boat and a family.

Genesis 11:1-9 explains how all cultures have a story of a flood, a boat and a family.

"remains apparently being found at Mount Ararat in Turkey"

My Goodness, how wonderful! Can you show me it? A film? A photo? Nothing? Who wrote this drivel?

Nothing looks more ridiculous than a 70 year old, long hair hippy.

What's your opinon about 70 year old, long hair rednecks? ;^)>>---

“how those who got destroyed by the flood CAUSED this disaster....”

Through excessive use of campfires and slash and burn farming, obviously!

The final crash came when the people we call Neanderthals left en mass in their hydrazine (N2 H4) powered space ships. The heat those ship generated when they lifted off from the glacier tops was tremendous. You should have seen them - awesome!

Sure.
No problem.

Noah's Ark found in turkey ( 4:56 )
Uploaded on Apr 28, 2010

" The remains of Noah's Ark have been found 12,000ft up a Turkish mountain, it was claimed today.
A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers say carbon testing on remains found on Mount Ararat show they are 4,800 years old, around the time when the ark was said to be afloat.

But the group left themselves open to a critical backlash after they failed to reveal the location of their find or produce photographs of the exterior of the site.

The search for the physical remains of Noah's Ark has held a fascination for Christians, Jews and Muslims for hundreds of years. But despite various claims no scientific evidence has ever been found.

The team of 15 made the announcement of their find yesterday. They brought back from the site wooden remains and strands of rope which they believe was used for keeping animals.

Yeung Wing-cheung, a documentary filmmaker and member of the team from Hong Kong-based Noah's Ark Ministries International, said:
'It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it.'

He said the structure had several compartments, some with wooden beams, which were believed to house animals. However early indications are it was a kind of cypress wood whereas the Bible says it was made of gopher wood.

Members of the Chinese team appeared with Turkish officials at a joint press conference on the evangelicals website where the potential importance of the discovery was hailed.

I don’t care. I do not dispute the story of the Ark, but I strongly dispute that it has been found on Mount Ararat. Pieces retrieved? Film? Photo? The photo I saw in the article could have been anything, anywhere, except that boat-shaped rock formation which I have seen many times before from many angles.

[Yosemitest]

I answered your question.
But I am NOT concerned as to whether you believe it or not.

[Yosemitest]

You obviously did not watch what I liked to, because your response did not allow enough time for you to have watched them.

The beard looks great. The long hair looks ridiculous.

[PapaBear3625]

Sure does! It’s CALLED the KING JAMES HOLY BIBLE! See KJV Genesis Chap 5 through 11.

God dictated the story to King James in Elizabethan English?

A lot of “old hippies” are on blood thinners and don’t like the daily bloodletting of shaving. Many of them are your friendly FReepers.
One of the privileges of being old is the ability to say what you want to say and look like you want.

[I am Richard Brandon]

That is true. I am currently engaged in the fourth day of a life or death struggle with AT&T and you are scheduled down the to do list. If they keep this up, I may never get to you.

I guess you don't believe the Hagopian-Lee to Simmons-Arslan 1989 Photo Near Mt. Ararat Strato-Volcano Summit or the old Armenian, George Hagopian's story on pages 73 through 92 of Secrets of the Lost Races: New Discoveries of Advanced Technology in Ancient Civilizations ?

Aside from the impossible logistics of gathering two of every animal on earth and all the requisite food to keep them alive, what about the myriad fishermen alive during that time? Surely their boats could survive during this time and they could drink the rain water and catch fish for sustenance, right? So why would Noah’s boat be the only one to survive? And did he have two white people and two Asians and two Africans and two Indians and two people of every race? Did they then all commit incest to grow their numbers sufficient to repopulate the planet?

This particular story has always bothered me. And when one calculates the sheer volume of water to accomplish what the story says, it’s simply preposterous on its face. Even if every bit of ice melted the sea level change wouldn’t even come close to covering the whole earth up to the mountaintops. Sure, it would swamp the low-lying areas and all the coastal towns would be inundated, but the people and animals could simply move to higher ground and survive.

I think the Noah story was about a regional flood and as it was retold numerous times the size and impact of the flooding got exaggerated and when it was finally written down it wasn’t even remotely accurate any more.

But that’s just my two cents. Your mileage may differ.
