Wooden Beam Of Noah's Ark On Mount Ararat

Posted on 06/22/2009 7:52:45 AM PDT by Fennie

On the 2nd December 2002 Claudio Schranz of our group and alpine guide has been able to film clearly a beam of Noah's Ark protruding out of the ice on Mount Ararat. It was found at 4000m between the beginning of the Parrot glacier.

“Old monastery, discovered years ago. Just a bunch of wishful thinking from the folks in this story.”

I have not heard that one.

It's always possible, but of course not enough here to decide anything.

If you want to read a great science fiction novel that touches, among other things, on the finding of an ark on Mount Ararat, there's this.

I also recommend another Powers book, "The Drawing of the Dark," which is about King Arthur, beer, and the Siege of Vienna by the Turks. These are strange and powerful SF novels, and not unfriendly to religion.

It is my understanding that there really is no single “Mount Ararat” and that it is a range of mountains.

Well, there is a single Mt. Ararat, but the Bible says that Noah's Ark came to rest "in the mountains of Ararat", which could put it pretty much anywhere in traditional Armenia.

It has to be Noah’s Ark, the inscription reads property of Noah, the Ark maker. This product can not be reproduced without the explicit permission of the music industry or Helen Thomas.

If I had been Noah, I would have used the lumber of the Ark to build a home, or to burn for firewood. Not sure anyone would just leave that lumber there for posterity....

I think the Bible referred to it as the mountains of Ararat.

Isn’t it amazing that Noah had the use of a saw mill using a circular rotating blade way back then.

Note the slightly radiused, repeating striations along the side of that “beam”.

Common use of the circular saw mill began here in America, as best I recall, sometime around the mid 1800s; before that they used a reciprocating (up and down) band saw, either human (for small ones) or water - wheel powered.
If you have an old house with exposed beams, look on their sides; it there are parallel straight ridges and grooves, then it was whip-sawed and the house is probably 100 to a couple of hundred years old or so. Of course modern “portable” saw mills use a band-saw system and the “Alaska” saw uses a sliding chain saw. You can usually tell the difference if you are familiar with lumber.

Hand hewn beams have a unique, uneven rustic look with up and down cuts every 8 or 10 inches or so from the “felling axe”. If in a settled area, it is probably at least 200 years old, or built from materials from a pre existing structure.

Before about 1820, most beams were hand hewn using various forms of axes and adzes. Even through the 19th Century a lot of country folk were still doing it that way. See “Foxfire Books” for details.

I have no idea how those beams got up there, but I seriously doubt that they floated, nor are much more than about 100 years old.

At what point does wishful thinking become a self-serving lie?

You got all that from some grainy video? You should work for NCIS.

Come on people, use your heads.

1. That piece of wood has circular saw marks on it. Do you really think that Noah had a circular saw?
2. The wood was found at an elevation of 4000 meters. Thats 13,123 feet. Do you really believe that the earth was inundated to an elevation of 13,000 feet above mean sea level? Where did all that water come from, and where did it go? Assuming it rained for 40 days and nights, it would have rained 328 feet per day, or almost 14” per hour for 960 straight hours.

Pretty easy to tell if it’s the ark or not. How many cubits is it?
