Lol! Did they get that on video too, I wonder?
Looks like it's official. Program starts in a few hours.

Sorry, no idea why that happened.
I just got home, what did I miss?
Cornuke is on now with John Kasich, but I don't see video that helps me understand what he says he saw there. They are showing some interesting look rocks, but...
???
look = looking
Hope they prove me wrong ...
Actually, he's a neat guy. A real showman in the classic throwback sense. Former cop, compelling speaker. Books: In Search of the Lost Ark of the Covenant; In Search of The Mountain of God (his best); In Search of the Lost Mountains of Noah. (Full disclosure: he's a friend of mine.) He's genuinely driven to follow Scriptural clues, and his presentations center on the literal reliability of the Bible. I agree with him that often scholars and experts lose sight of the plain meaning of the text.
They found sea shells up there as well.
In Search of the Mountain of God is an excellent book. I've just seen a lot of refutations of Bob and wonder how much of what he sees is a result of what he wants to see.

"More than 13,000 feet above sea level, after a seven hour hike, their pilgrimage concluded with a 400-foot long object... The businessman says the petrified wood clearly bears a resemblance to a ship. 'How did a ship get to 13,300 feet, except to float there?' ...A Houston lab used by the Smithsonian tested the alleged ark. Bonneman says they found that it was petrified wood, and that fossilized sea animals were buried inside it."
and, whatever the opposite of update is:

Thanks for the ping. Exciting stuff!

So, either Carnuke was on a different mountain, or Carnuke is mistaken about the elevation at which he found it, or Google Earth's elevation of "Kuh-e Takht Soleyman" is over 4,000 feet off. Google Earth shows Mt. Everest being 28,189 feet, when actually it is 29,017. So Google Earth is 28 feet off there. But 4000 feet at "Mt. Soleiman"? I suspect that Carnuke's disovery is not on Mt. Soleiman. The closest mountain to Kuh-e Takht Soleyman that is at least 15,000 feet tall is "`Elm Kuh" (36 22' 27.65", 50 57' 38.78" E), which I believe is also known as Mt. Alam; Google Earth gives its highest elevation as 15,269 feet. But `Elm Kuh is almost 11 miles from Kuh-e Takht Soleyman. Here is a site that shows that the "Takht-e-Solaiman" is a range of mountains.

Carnuke's reference to "Soleiman" is thus probably to the *range*, not the particular peak. But there too, the only two mountains in the Takht-e-Solaiman range at least 15,300 feet tall are Alam and the north peak of the Khersan (which is directly connected to Alam on the north side). So it appears that Carnuke's discovery is actually on Mt. Alam/Khersan. If that conclusion is correct, then one should be able to run a contour line around the area at 13,120 feet, and come pretty close to it.
