There was another article where Price, It could have been someone else, wanted $100,000 and seem to say there was a hoax.
There are a lot of people who have attempted this. I would double-check the guy you're talking about. If you want to see more about this particular guy I'm talking about -- you can see some prior reports he's had on that ... at his website (which contains a lot more than just something about Noah's Ark, by the way). You can see some prior newsletters he's had, plus one webpage where he posts a statement.
I would also listen to his interview on Jan Markell's Olive Tree Ministries program ...
May 1, 2010 - Hour 1
Eric Barger sits in for Jan who needed a weekend off. His guest is Dr. Randall Price who addresses the alleged recent finding of "Noah's Ark." Why is this likely bogus? Will it ever be found? Price has upcoming expeditions planned for Mt. Ararat and has made numerous attempts to find the Ark which have all failed to date. He feels he is close, however, to an amazing discovery. Would this be an end-time sign that the Bible is accurate? Remember, the "last days" are compared to the days of Noah. Find the spring conference CDs and DVDs Eric referred to here. They will be ready to ship in about two weeks. We also carry several of Barger's products in our "store." www.ericbarger.com -- www.worldofthebible.com
I suppose that some would take people up the mountain for a large sum of money.
Yeah, if you listen to the interview by Dr. Randall Price, you'll find out that it's the guide who is controllling all the artifacts and access to the site ... that's one culprit I would put the finger on ... :-)
There is defiantly something in the ice.
Perhaps, and Dr. Randall Price thinks there's something up there, too... but he's not saying that it's Noah's Ark. He'll be verifying it first before saying so.
And so, the question is not so much that there "is something up there" -- but rather -- "What is it, that is up there?" ... :-)
