I've seen Cornuke's presentation. It's very convincing. He has a couple of very interesting books: Ark Fever and Relic Quest.

"Convincing?"

The sheer number of contradictory claims makes each one look ridiculous. They definitely cannot all be correct and all but one have to be false, logically. The multiplying number of "this one is true" strongly suggests that all are false claims.

I've seen Cornuke's presentation. It's very convincing.

Well sure, given his one-sided presentation that stretches the truth in misleading ways and "forgets" to inform you about evidence to the contrary... Anyone can be "very convincing" when all you hear are their own claims.

For a more honest appraisal: Caution about ‘Ark’ discovery. Also a goof in geology made by Cornuke is addressed here.

People who are uneducated in geology, like Cornuke, have no idea how easily ordinary rock formations can have the appearance of "wood grain", "planking", "beams", etc.

The photos I've seen of Cornuke's "find" just look like rock outcroppings, and that is also the opinion of all the geologists I've seen who have commented on this.

Also, it's always amusing to note how many *different* places the "ark" has been found:

• CH500. Noah's ark has been found.

So how did Mr. Cornuke explain how the Ark got to Iran? Unfortunately the WND page isn't loading.

A few years back, British archaeologist David Rohl proposed that the Garden of Eden was in the neighborhood of modern Tabriz, but that's another story.
