Noah's Ark found in Turkey

THE SUN ^ | TODAY | STAFF REPORTER

[evets]

The remains of Noah's Ark have been discovered 13,000ft up a Turkish mountain, it has been claimed.

A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers say they have found wooden remains on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey.

They claim carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old — around the same time the ark was said to be afloat.

Yeung Wing-Cheung, from the Noah's Ark Ministries International research team, 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 contained several compartments, some with wooden beams, that they believe were used to house animals.

The group of evangelical archaeologists ruled out an established human settlement on the grounds none have ever been found above 11,000ft in the vicinity, Yeung said.

Local Turkish officials will ask the central government in Ankara to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status so the site can be protected while a major archaeological dig is conducted.

The biblical story says that God decided to flood the Earth after seeing how corrupt it was.

He then told Noah to build an ark and fill it with two of every animal species.

After the flood waters receded, the Bible says, the ark came to rest on a mountain.

Many believe that Mount Ararat, the highest point in the region, is where the ark and her inhabitants ran aground.

“I didn’t think carbon dating was that accurate.”

Only for artifacts dated to be under 6,000 years of age.

As I’ve written before here, there is perhaps 5 times more water within the earth’s mantle than in all the oceans on the surface. That is PLENTY of water to flood the highest mountain, should it for some reason erupt to the surface for a season.

No, it takes more than 5 times, somewhere between 10 and 30 times, depending upon what you call "sea level" (10 times being for all ice already melted, 30 times if there are ice sheets as we already see).

You and your pesky facts and logic and reason...;)

[Star Traveler]

You were saying ...

Had the ark been so important back then as the Noah story purports, we'd find manuscript after manuscript of the event. Does that exist??

Noah certainly carried manuscripts with him and his family as he entered the ark. And the manuscript that we have today -- it's called the Bible... doncha know ... :-)

Couldn't God just send some more water over to the earth from somewhere else or just snapped his fingers and made some more water and then made it disappear? After all, if he changed the rates of isotopic decay and the speed of light ...

>> The Noah story is the Jewish version of the Akkadian (per-Summerian) Gilgamesh flood story. Much more likely that the flood was experienced in the Persian Gulf when rising seas broke open the Strait of Hormuz. This is also the site of Eden. Can’t see how the ark got to Mount Ararat. Methinks there is something up there, but what it is is beyond me. <<

The end of the last Ice Age over 10,000 years ago had Glaciers melting so fast that it would have made it’s own puddle under Al Gore’s fat behind. This occurred in both Asia, Europe and North America. It is no wonder there is a cultural history of the “Great Flood”.

The End of the Last Ice Age had Glaciers Melting so fast that Al Gore would have a stroke at the mere thought of it.

No wonder cultural history in most Norther Hemisphere cultures remember an event that was a “Great Flood”.

Enough to fit two of every animal on earth?

While two is the popularized number, it's inaccurate. There was one pair of each unclean animal, and seven pairs of each clean animal:

Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate...

(IIRC) G*D: Let it rain for more than 100 days / nights....
Noah: no..no...(respectfully :) 40 days / 40 nights & lets the sewers back-up...
G*D: RIGHT....

tg, thanks, for the link. :D

I don’t see how what you believe or don’t believe has any bearing on reality.

Thanks. Been studying this for years :-)

How do you get the Water Back into the Mantle after the flood? Most of that water is tied up in the deep earth, if it was brought out at the same time you would have to EXPLODE the planet. Rapid Melting of Continental Ice Sheets after the last Ice Age DID cause real flooding and catastrophic flooding at that.

And if God can snap his fingers and do things like break the laws of physics, maybe his hobby is pestering Federation Starship Captains.

"if you see what I mean"

I do.
I didn't mean to jump over the Millenium, but it is a finite period, with a nasty ending at that.
I'm looking forward to Revelation 21 and eternity with our Redeemer and the Redeemed.

The location of the anomaly on the mountain's northwest corner has been under investigation from afar by ark hunters for years, but it has remained unexplored, with the government of Turkey not granting any scientific expedition permission to explore on site.

"I've got new found optimism ... as far as my continuing push to have the intelligence community declassify some of the more definitive-type imagery," Porcher Taylor, an associate professor in paralegal studies at the University of Richmond, said at the time.

For more than three decades, Taylor has been a national security analyst, and has also served as a senior associate for five years at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.

"I had no preconceived notions or agendas when I began this in 1993 as to what I was looking for," he said. "I maintain that if it is the remains of something manmade and potentially nautical, then it's potentially something of biblical proportions."

The anomaly remains ensconced in glacial ice at an altitude of 15,300 feet, and Taylor says the photos suggest its length-to-width ratio is close to 6:1

“Radiocarbon dating, or carbon dating, is a radiometric dating method that uses the naturally occurring radioisotope carbon-14 (14C) to determine the age of carbonaceous materials up to about 58,000 to 62,000 years.[1] Raw, i.e. uncalibrated, radiocarbon ages are usually reported in radiocarbon years “Before Present” (BP), “Present” being defined as AD 1950. Such raw ages can be calibrated to give calendar dates.”

Before the flood, there was some water on the surface of the earth. But when the flood began, water poured out from the depths (from the mantle) and from some sort of cloud layer. As water came out from within the earth, areas over those caverns may have collapsed, leaving mountain ranges in their wake.

Reminds me of that movie, Lost City Raiders I saw recently where the Vatican hired some treasure hunters to find an ancient scepter that was said would save the planet from glowbull (yes, I meant to spell it that way, as we have seen the light and now know it is a bunch of bull) warming which was making the waters rise. The scepter caused an explosion which created a fault and all of the water drained back into the earth.

Here is a movie clip, the good part starts at about 3:30:
