[Jamestown1630]

As someone asked on another thread, wouldn’t wood have gone to nothing after thousands of years? I doubt there’s a peat bog up there...

My guess is that people scavenged the ark for wood to construct houses, etc. So there would have been nothing left after a few years.

[CivilWarBrewing]

I heard something about it being petrified, or well on its way. Since reaching its resting place, I don't think all that wood could've been excavated by people for use on housing, etc., if the ballast area and floors HAD SUNK DEEP INTO MUD shortly after the animals were removed.

It was once speculated that the ENTIRETY of the Great Pyramid of Giza was covered in some type of a flat stone finish but over time this covering had eroded or was LOOTED FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES. All that remains is a covering only at the TIP of the pyramid !!!! Interesting.

The Shroud of Turin is REAL, Noah's Ark is REAL. Now I await confirmation that the Ark of the Covenant is REALLY in that church in Ethiopia that is closely guarded 24/7.

[Fledermaus]

Probably petrified.

Thank you for posting Jamestown1630.

Genesis 6:14 tells us that G+d told Noah to surface the wood of the arc with pitch [my words].

No..wood turns to stone and can be tested by age. We’ll see.

Where is anyone's sense of adventure?

The Ark was yuge -- it was the world's first cruise ship -- but unlike the location of that other Ark that's buried in a US government warehouse,

Noahbody Noes nothin'!

Outside the... box, however, are some exciting clues that equate the two arks that were lost to history...

The 'ark' word for Noah's Ark is a teiva (Biblical spelling: תבה, modern/full spelling: תיבה).

תֵּבָה ~ תיבה

chest, box, case; Noah's Ark; word (written or printed); bar, measure (music)

The 'ark' word for the Ark of the Covenant is an aron (ארון).

אָרוֹן

cupboard, closet (+ אָרֹן ~ ארון, "I will sing")

Of course, there's the secular attitude that Noah's Ark is a fictional ship, so in the list of longest wooden ships ever built,

"the longest confirmed wooden ship in history is the Wyoming."

Wyoming was an American wooden six-masted schooner built and completed in 1909 by the Percy & Small Shipyard in Bath, Maine.[1] With a length of 450 ft (140 m) from jib-boom tip to spanker boom tip, Wyoming was the largest known wooden ship ever built.[4]

On Google Maps and also the Street View, it's easy to pinpoint the exact location where the 'bones' of the Wyoming are located. The skeleton sculpture was positioned where she was launched, although due to regulations involving the river, it had to be placed a certain distance from the bank of the river.

As such, the bowsprit is located at the intersection of Marshall and Washington streets.

Who doesn't recall the plot of Disney's fictional tale about Ariel? The dramatic conclusion (spoiler alert) peaked when Eric impaled Ursula the Sea Witch on the bowsprit of the shipwreck that she herself had churned up from the deep in order to destroy the protagonists.

Then it turned out that the famous actress who was the voice of Ursula (Pat Carroll) died in her home in Harwich Port MA, located near the end of Cape Cod, near the place where the Wyoming had been lost in the nor'easter.

A key detail here is that Wyoming -- the "Equality State" -- "just so happens" to be in form of a box:

Thus the longest wooden ship ever built [that the historians will acknowledge as real], is named after the "teiva", because that's how Abraham's God rolls. Accept no substitutes.

Furthermore, for some reason, the Hebrew name for Raiders of the Lost Ark -- a fictional storyline about the Ark of the Covenant -- is not "Raiders of the Lost Aron", but rather, "Raiders of the Lost Teiva".

It's amazing what 'word' can get lost, in translation.

The title, Raiders of the Ark, er Lost [written] Word = 769:

Its sum first appears in Genesis 2:1 --

1 *And the heaven and the earth were finished*, and all the host of them.
