According to that site they also found the Ark of The Covenant containing the Ten Commandments which happened to be right under where Jesus was crucified and they found that His blood had seeped into the ground and landed on the Ark. Im sure thats all true too... /s

Look, I’m pretty religious, but we hear these “they found Noahs’ ark!” things about twice a year now.

Uh, hello!!! The Nazis found the ark more than half a century ago. Thankfully, an American archeologist was able to rescue it. It’s currently been studied by “Top Men” at a facility in Washington with the usually title “Warehouse 23”.

True. Much needs to be verified still, in regards to the Ark of the Covenant, and I’m not one to chase every claim. But it has to be somewhere. :-) There is no record of it going into the Babylonian captivity, or coming out of exile during the Persian empire. So it must have been secured before the Southern Kingdom fell. Theologically, the possibility of the blood of Christ being spilt on the Ark doesn’t do violence to the Gospel at all, and it’s really not important. In fact, if the Ark were wheeled out today, people would worship the Ark of the Covenant, forgetting how Jesus Christ paid man’s sin debt once and for all: for those that believe and trust in Him.

With respect to Noah’s ark, the size does match with the biblical account. And it’s a lot more than a meter of wood the Turkish government is claiming. Interesting how archeology always seems to catch up with the Bible, and not the other way around.

Good study though. God Bless.
