This story has been resurfacing once in a while for over thirty years:
NOAH'S ARK GOES TO HOLLYWOOD
- IMPACT No. 47 May 1977
by John D. Morris*
© Copyright 2004 Institute for Creation Research. All Rights Reserved.
http://www.icr.org/pubs/imp/imp-047.htm The search for Noah's Ark has many years been a source of fascination and intrigue for millions. The story has such appeal that the news media had always been anxious to report any news dealing with the Ark. These accounts have not always been factual or favorable, but they have been well circulated.
The first major splash was in 1883 when Turkish avalanche investigators claimed a discovery of the Ark. The world press so twisted and turned this story, however, and made such a sport of it, that those inclined to accept it were intimidated.
In 1940 the second major story hit the American public. The fictional account of Vladimar Roskovitsky was printed and reprinted in newspapers, magazines, books, tracts, etc. in spite of the fact that the author of the story claimed it was mostly false, built on only the barest of details supplied by the families of two of the deceased members of the reported Russian expedition.
During the '40s, the Ark continued to be in the news, with Air Force personnel claiming sightings from the air, a Kurdish peasant finding it by accident, and several expeditions raising support and making plans.
Fernand Navarra, the French climber, had his day in the spotlight when he displayed to the world an ancient piece of hand-tooled wood that he removed from a crevasse in the ice cap of Mt. Ararat. Later, in 1969, he returned with a team from SEARCH INC. and discovered other small pieces of wood in a nearby location.
In this decade, the publicity has been of a different sort. There have been numerous expeditions with many participants, most of whom consistently lecture and write on the subject, and few in this country are not aware to some degree that the search is current. Since 1972 ten books have been written on the subject, all of which have been good sellers. These books have varied in viewpoint, content and accuracy, but are all reasonably factual.
The Institute for Creation Research has always maintained a strictly ethical, legal and moral stand in its expeditions and its publications have strived for precise accuracy even though truth may not make such exciting reading. It is in that light that some of the more recent well known and circulated items must be discussed.
Satellite Photos
The first of the major news stories of this decade was the report on February 21, 1974, that a NASA satellite known as the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS, now known as LANDSAT) had photographed Noah's Ark from an altitude of 450 miles. The news was repeated in virtually every newspaper, and on every radio and television station.
Unfortunately, when examined by photographic experts, the object in question turned out not to be the Ark. It was many times too large and not at all in the area under consideration as the possible resting place of the Ark. NASA experts agree that the Ark, even if fully exposed, and under optimal conditions, would likely not be visible. In any case, they are certain that this object, located at about 6,000 elevation, is not the Ark.

Excavate. Then we'll know for sure if it is just "ice and rocks".

Maybe we'll find out what gopherwood really is.
And exactally how log a cubit is.
To: Brett66
Is there some kind of explanation for the annotations on the picture.
I think I get the gist of what they're trying to show, but it is not even close to self explanatory.

"These new photos unequivocally show a man made object," McGivern is quoted as saying. New levels of sublety added to the word "unequivocally".

reveal a man-made structure at the site where the Bible states the vessel came to rest. Did the Bible give the GPS coordinates? I must have missed that.

I saw that in one of those scandal rags once while at the checkout counter. I almost died laughing. Looking back, I really should have bought a copy and kept the cover. It was classic.
