Looks like rocks to me.

I think people see what they want to see. Didn't they bring a geologist with them?

How could wood become petrified in just a few thousand years? Doesn't it take millions of years?

If this is the Ark, then I believe I saw the Andrea Doria sticking out of a hilltop in Kentucky along I-75.

What, no fossilized giraffe skeletons sticking out of a petrified hatch in the roof?

almost petrified, but the top looks like wood.

I find this really interesting. If you showed me the first photo and asked, "What is that a picture of?", I would answer that it's a picture of some old beams.

Looking at the entire body of photos the site has posted though I think a healthy skepticism is a good idea here. I would love to know what a geologist thinks of this.

Thanks for the post.

Perhaps they could use a geologist to tell them the difference between rock and wood but to claim the Ark is now Petrified is just ridiculous. Fools!

Looks like shale to me.

If they want to verify it is petrified wood they must have brought samples, not just photos.

What was the level of scientific expertise (geology? archeology?) on the team...?

Even if it is petrified wood, what makes it a boat?

"How could wood become petrified in just a few thousand years? Doesn't it take millions of years?"

Under the right conditions, fossilization takes about 50 years.

For example, here is a fossilized hat:

Wouldn't the most likely disposition of the ark's timbers be that Noah's descendants would have carted them off as ready-made building materials? Isn't that why no one can find the ark, because it no longer exists in situ?

Of course, having thus opined, testing these formations will tell the tale....

Wood doesn't petrify when it's exposed on the surface of the earth.

Somebody is engaged in some very wishful thinking.

I think I saw a Unicorn peaking out of the larger crevasse in the second picture. Looks like there is a Puma in the crevasse right behind him or her, can't tell which.

If not shale some kind of sedimentary rock formation.

However, when I was in Sunday School when I was six I was told the Earth was 6,000 years old. Thus the earth would now be 6,035 years old. What ever the case that wood up on that mountain sure does petrify much faster than they taught me in college Geology!

How many times have you yawned at the claim “Noah’s Ark Has Been Discovered”?

One more.
