Noah's Ark - Fact Not Fiction

In 1943 during WW2, an army Sgt., Ed Davis, was working in Iran near the Turkish border, in charge of locals hired by our army to build a road through Iran to the Soviet border, which would carry supplies to the Soviets instead of flying them in.

In short, Ed did a tremendous favor for a little Kurdish village near Ararat. His workers were mostly Kurds and the chief of the village came to Ed and asked if he would like to see Noah's Ark. He said the summer on the mountain had been hottest in many years and the Ark was visible for the first time in years...

Love that routine ... from a brilliant mind and a truly great man.

This is probably what happened:

Looking around Noah takes a good look at the ark which is now empty of animals.

Noah: "Looks like we survived, praise be to God. What a muddy mess. Shem, get some of that rice stored in the ark and start planting. Japheth, you plant some wheat. Ham, you gather the sheep and goats and watch over them. The children can get eggs from the chickens and watch over the rest of the livestock, make sure those baby tyrannosauruses don't eat them all."

Mrs. Japheth: "I ain't living in that ark with Mrs. Ham. I'm sick of her!" She did nothing but moan and complain the whole 40 days and nights.

Mrs. Ham: "Well I ain't gonna live in that ark anymore with you neither, you spiteful hag!"

Mrs. Shem: "You both are getting on my nerves. Just shut up will you?"

Noah: "That is ENOUGH! Now we all know the northlands are frozen, no use going up there. Shem, take your family and 1/3 of the ark wood and go east. Ham, take your family and 1/3 of the wood go south. Japheth, you go west. Me, I'll just stay here on the mountain and keep tending these grape vines, tee-hee.

It is almost certain the ark was dismantled for firewood and building material. They just survived a disaster so that is what they would have done.

Horses are strong swimmers, surely better than armadillos. Why then didn’t the unicorns survive?

Yep, it turned out to be the remains of an old monastary built from wood. Not the ark...

It was shiny and there were little silver men with big heads who washed and waxed it.

Excellent point. There's also a fair amount of evidence that Noah himself provided each animal with an energy bar to survive their six month "raft" trip on some "floating plant material."

Thanks for helping to get the word out!

Genesis 6:19-20

19- And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

20- Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind; two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

Genesis 7: 1-3

1-And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

2-Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

Not to be a stinker on this thread, but which one of these accounts is correct?

Wonder how they made it to Texas from Mt. Ararat?

Assuming one believes in God, such a task would be small potatoes to Him.
