Could the real ark have lasted this long without decomposing?

It would be very difficult for me to believe that it could.

How many cubits is that?

Around 2.2 cubits. One cubit is about 18 inches. A meter is 39.37 inches.

Ah, how many millions of years does it take to petrify wood?

Depends how frequently Janet Reno, Hillary Clinton, or Helen Thomas had been in proximity.

Surely any and every ancient piece of wood must be the Ark.. nevermind that a wooden boat of the size of the Ark has never been documented anywhere besides the Bible, much less been found.

I am pretty sure they don’t know what gopher wood was.

Thanks, I agree. The area where Fossett disapeared is as remote as the N.C. frontier was in the 1750s when my ancestors lived there.

Actually it’s not the enviroment that’s preventing an archelogical study, but the Turkish goevernment.

They're Muslims, so what would you expect?

I recall reading something similar about 20 - 30 years ago in an archaeological review (scientific - not religious) journal.

There were several problems. The govt of Turkey would NOT permit at that time any one to go poking around up there .. no international teams, no scientific research. Period. Glad to see they did do a joint venture

and The pix I can recall were fairly interesting.. aerials with an image in ice. various views. The problem was that this area really never thawed & so all was encased in ice year round ..........just in “summer” less ice..

The warm season MIGHT permit opportunities to investigate if the proper permits could be secured (less Ice but apparently still encased). At that time I found it fascinating & frankly did not follow it anymore & just had my memory jarred when I saw this article.

If I am recalling correctly at the time there was a LOT of tension as air space was violated to get the pix. Now with satellite it would not be a problem

Would Steve Fossett fly off in a small airplane and disappear on purpose? Might he be holed up someplace watching all this on TV and laughing his butt off for some twisted reason?

The truth is often stranger than fiction, they say.

There was a series on tv “In Search of” hosted by Leonard Nimoy that publicized the possible location of the ark. The episode aired in 1979 called “Noah’s Flood”.
