If Noah’s Ark has been sitting on a mountain somewhere in the Middle East for a few millennia, a few more months of waiting are a small price to pay, at least for Randall Price.
Price, who heads Liberty University’s Center For Judaic Studies, talked in January about his planned two-season expedition into Turkey, with the hopes of finding the Biblical artifact. He arrived in Turkey over the summer.
But Price said since then, he’s faced pressure from a political group in Turkey that is forcing him to keep his excursion very hush-hush.
“There’s not a lot (regarding Noah’s Ark) that I can say,” Price said, but he went on to give some basic details of what he plans to do next August, as the expedition finishes up.
Price said in January that he believes the Biblical boat is resting on Mount Ararat, covered by a glacier that sometimes temporarily recedes to give glimpses of what he believes is an ancient structure.
“We did penetrate about 18 feet down into the glacier, and we have some evidence that we’re in the right place,” Price said, adding satellite data puts them about 30 feet from their goal.
Price said he’s aware that whatever rests under the glacier might not be the jackpot he has been looking for.
“While we’d like to think it’s Noah’s Ark, we’re not sure what it is, but it’s in the right place,” he said.
Price said whatever there is to be discovered, it should be found when he returns in the coming summer.
“There is negotiation between Turkish authorities and this warring faction,” he said, “and that should enable us to go back without problems next year.”
Ping?
Roll out, “geez not this sh*t” again.
At least there’s a picture of a guy in an icehole this time.
lol
Who’s paying for all this? I don’t need the discovery of Noah’s ark in order to prove God’s existence or His love for us.
The big question is: WILL IT FLOAT?
The timing is interesting as in this age of unbelief, people might need this kind of evidence of Biblical truth.
Whoever keeps this story going is, in the famous words of Johnny Dangerously, a fargin’ icehole. And speaking of such people, where’s Geraldo?
I truly think that someday some completely amazing artifacts will be found.
I don’t NEED Noah’s ark to believe in God and the Bible but I think it is so exciting that the ark might be found. The same with the Shroud of Turin, I want it to be authentic. I can’t really explain the reason why I feel this way.
Either that or maybe they’ll find Yasser up there somewhere on his mountain.

What an icehole!
If you believe this, I would hope that you would discourage this exercise.
Summer is upon us. What’s happening? When?
Global Warming may cause the ice to melt and reveal what is actually there.
