Evangelical Researchers Claim Discovery of Noah’s Ark Atop Turkish Mountain

Fox News: The group claims that carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old, meaning they date to around the same time the ark was said to be afloat. Mt. Ararat has long been suspected as the final resting place of the craft by evangelicals and literalists hoping to validate biblical stories.

Very interesting, I don’t know anything about these archeologists but it will be interesting to see what they come up with. I want to know more than what this video is providing.

If true, Turky’s tourism ministry is thinking “kaching!”

If this proves out to be true–not a hoax–look for a ton of converts of Christianity and Judaism. Nothing better than tangible proof. That is, of course, if it isn’t some other sort of structure like a monastery or military outpost etc.

Rich   April 27th, 2010 - 12:39 pm

They’d deny it. Atheism is just as much a faith as any other religion, that’s why they have religious intolerance. When this was posted on the Sun’s website they rediculed the find.

So we’re supposed to believe that the water was high enough to raise the boat all the way up this mountain. What happened to all that water???? Did it just evaporate to outer space? If it weren’t part of the Judeo-Christian history and the book of folktales (bible), we would just consider it a myth like the myths of other civilizations.

rainh2o   April 27th, 2010 - 1:13 pm

True Faith does not need evidence. When you demand evidence – it’s not faith! It would be cool if it is the boat. And yes, MT ARARAT is the place.

So much for the accuracy of ancient history according to those who lived it.

Is it gopher wood?

Genesis 6:14 (King James Version)

14Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

I sure hope so. Since I was a little kid, I have been dreaming of this day!

HMMM…

Gary Z.   April 27th, 2010 - 1:28 pm

Jim – water? Most of North America was covered by a 1 mile think ice sheet 10,000 years ago. Where did that water go? Even 1/2 mile above Salt Lake City a clear water mark is visible. Where did the water go? The planet grew and it is always changing. Oh, how do sea shells get on mountain tops?

Scott   April 27th, 2010 - 1:31 pm

What if Global Warming (The Great Hoax of Our Time) exposed the ice encrusted Ark just enough for these folks to see the Ark? Funny how the left’s religion (Global Warming) could be a contributing factor to proving once and for all that Noah’s Ark is no hoax.

Forrest   April 27th, 2010 - 1:33 pm

How do we know this is Noah’s ark and not the ark from the Epic of Gilgamesh? The Epic of Gilgamesh predates Noah’s flood story and is, coincidentally, believed to have happened in the 27th century B.C.E. (or, around 4800 years ago).

They could pull the body of Abraham out of a hole in the ground and it doesnt prove the existance of god, it merely proves that there is an element of truth to one of the old testament’s stories. This doesn’t help converts. If this turns out to be a legitimate watercraft, I will be very interested to see this develop further. There is nothing wrong with mixing science (archaeology) and religion, though, short from finding ‘S.S. Ark of Noah’ written on the side of the ship, there is no way possible of verifying that this is the same ark from the tale of Noah, nor would it prove that Noah was an actual man. It could just as easily confirm the existance of the ancient Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh. Google it.

jim   April 27th, 2010 - 1:41 pm

Gary Z. The seas/oceans were lower during the ice age – remember the land bridge between Alaska and Siberia – it isn’t there now. As for the seashells on mountain tops – that land was underwater. The Himalayas are still rising as the tectonic plate that has India, etc. on it pushes against the Asian plate that has Tibet, China, on it. Do some research on plate tectonics. These movements have been going on for millions of years.

Garry   April 27th, 2010 - 1:41 pm

All you evolutionists have NEVER provided anything showing man came from apes. According to what you do say, one day apes, next day a ape woke up as a man, rofl… Where’s evidence to show the mutation inbetween ape to man? And if man evolved from the apes, why didn’t ALL the apes evolve?

bitterweed   April 27th, 2010 - 1:53 pm

My faith in God and acceptance of His Son as my Saviour is not contingent upon this being the ark..or not. Nor is it contingent upon Him answering my prayers the way that would suit me or any other nonsense..

God doesn’t need to prove Himself to any of us. I can look at my hands on the keyboard and how they are made and how they work; and I know that there is a God. We should keep that in mind..

Steve   April 27th, 2010 - 1:56 pm

I guess if it is true kids will not be able to learn anything about it because the libs will say this is against all rules for separation of church and state, there is no God, this it nothing but a waist of time “who are you going to believe us or your own eyes” the people who discovered this are religious right wing fox watching tea party Turkish wing nuts, don’t mined the man behind the Curtin……I’m melting……I’m melting!!!

Terry   April 27th, 2010 - 2:03 pm

Forrest –
The dimensions are found in the Bible.
The story you speak of happened in ancient Iraq and it was a raft – not an ark – that was floated down the Euphrates River.
Besides being an ancient myth.

The ark wouldn’t have been able to go down the river.

RUserious   April 27th, 2010 - 2:10 pm

There were people living in Mesopotamia circa 3200bc – 4800 years ago – Summeria – That’s present day Iraq – right below Turkey – there was no flood that covered the globe. What is the matter with you people?

Shiori   April 27th, 2010 - 2:10 pm

From the video – there’s no way to tell where they are, or if what they are in is a craft, or merely a wooden structure. Very Interesting though. They’re going to need a much larger team and many more archeologists if they want their theory verified. Still – pretty cool so far.

Son of Faith   April 27th, 2010 - 2:37 pm

If a person converts to Christianity or Judaism because they found the Ark, then thats pretty shallow. This is basically like somebody saying..”Show me a sign and I will believe”..and the Master hammered that field of thought pretty good.
Something about an “Evil and adulterous Generation”.

I don’t need an archeological find to believe the story of “The Flood”.

I would be very cool but even with that there will be those who will not believe not matter what they see with their eyes. Just ask the Children of Israel on there way out of Egypt….:)

Glen H.   April 27th, 2010 - 2:40 pm

Nothing will be proven. These expeditions are OK’s by the Turkish Muslim government to come up empty. The evidence will be confiscated, Mt. Ararat will again be off limits to all, and, if lucky, just maybe the expeditionists will be allowed to return to their native countries.

We can’t allow anything to prove the validity of the Bible, now, can we?

joey C.   April 27th, 2010 - 2:56 pm

RUserious, Ok, Seriously? There was no flood that covered the earth? How else do you explain a boat on top of a mountain? Geez man where is your Faith? And to all yall doubters, you’ll be in my prayers.

Hawk   April 27th, 2010 - 3:08 pm

There have been several shows on this and various people up there. I saw one guy give a talk about his expedition. While there, he measured off everything and they inspected as best they could. The measurements matched that in the bible and it was gopherwood. He saw nothing to point to it NOT being the ARK. However, due to the way the Turkish government is, they can’t call it the ark, etc.

Science does not disprove God. Science is discovering HOW He did it.

Many atheists can’t even answer WHICH theory of the big bang they believe in. “You mean there’s more than one??” Most can not intelligently discuss them and good to get the basics.

When you start discussing how the big bang breaks he laws of physics, eyes start glazing over for most.

So this huge mass is sitting in space and …
* got bored and decided to blow up?
* was hit by another mass? (Wasn’t it all in one place according to the most popular theory?)
* ????

So once we’re past that … Life from lifelessness….
*Rocks and mud formed some magic ooze and life sprung from it.

Yep sounds perrrrrfectly like unicorns and fairy dust to me too.

O'Really?   April 27th, 2010 - 3:11 pm

Evangelical Researchers? Isn’t that an oxymoron?

Airwick   April 27th, 2010 - 3:22 pm

Hawk,
The laws of physics do not refute the concept of a Big Bang theory and the subsequent formation of matter if you consider the existence of dark matter and dark energy. You may also want to consider that our present laws of physics may not be inclusive enough or sufficient to describe such an event. This was the case when Newtonian Physics was found to be inadequate to describe atomic structure and Quantum Physics was developed as a consequence. Chemical evolution leading to life is actually pretty logical once you factor in basic chemistry, physics, and molecular interactions with vast amounts of time.

They just have a problem with the “son of God ” thing. You biggots should learn something before you comment!!! So they think they found the Ark on Mt Arrarat……I thought they found the Ark years and years ago???? There was even a movie made in the early 70’s about it being found on Ararrat!!! Maybe there is more than one Ark??? Maybe a whole Marina is otop the Mountain!!

While I’m certainly excited that “Noah’s Ark” has possibly been found, I find it dubious to point to the flawed method of radiometric dating to prove it. There are inherent flaws in ALL radiometric dating methods because of the underlying premises and assumptions. While this find could certainly be “Noah’s Ark,” I hope more than just Uniformitarianism philosophies of science are used to prove it.

“Oh, how do sea shells get on mountain tops?”

Man, Gary, you must have been absent that day, right? Prob don’t know how mountains were formed either, right? Or anything else about plate tectonics.

And, Historian, Columbus believed the Earth was the center of the universe and the sun revolved around it because that is what the church preached in 1492, just like everyone else did until Galileo came along and invented a telescope and told the church they were fools. They threatened to burn him at the stake if he didn’t shut up – much like churches of today.

Mouser   April 27th, 2010 - 4:42 pm

God Himself will validate His Word in due time. Jesus said that an evil and adulterous generation seeks for signs. True believers do not need the remains of anything to confirm or validate their faith.

Ahem, dumbass Hooky, if everyone believed the sun was at the center of the universe since it was “preached” by the church of that day, then everyone would have to include Galileo himself. We have no clue what Columbus believed in regards to a center of the universe. And chances are you have no idea about the nature of the universe yourself, even today.

duh_swami   April 27th, 2010 - 5:17 pm

Dumb…There is no way to prove this is Noah’s ark…Even if it’s old enough, even if it’s made of gopher wood, even if it looks like it ‘could’ have held animals, none of that proves that Noah had anything to do with it…

kmichaels   April 27th, 2010 - 5:24 pm

Gopher wood or gopherwood is a term used once in the Bible, for the substance from which Noah’s ark was built. Gen 6:14 states that Noah was to build the Ark of גפר, gofer, more commonly gopher wood, a word not otherwise known in the Bible or in Hebrew.

Its identity has not been established with certainty. Older English translations, including the King James Version (17th century), simply leave it untranslated.
[edit]Question over identity

The Greek Septuagint (3rd–1st centuries BC) translated it as xylon tetragonon, “squared timber”.[1] Similarly, the Latin Vulgate (5th century AD) rendered it as lignis levigatis (lævigatis, in the Clementine Vulgate), “smoothed (possibly planed) wood”.

The Jewish Encyclopedia believes it was most likely a translation of the Babylonian “gushure i÷ erini” (cedar-beams), or the Assyrian “giparu” (reed).[2]

Many modern English translations tend to favour cypress (although otherwise the word for “cypress” in Biblical Hebrew is brosh). This was espoused (among others) by Adam Clarke, a Methodist theologian famous for his commentary on the Bible: Clarke cited the resemblance between Greek word for cypress, kuparisson and the Hebrew word gophar.

Other suggestions include pine, cedar, fir, ebony, wicker, juniper, acacia, boxwood, slimed bulrushes and resinous wood, and even American trees such as Cladrastis kentukea (American yellowwood), although the latter did not exist in the region the ark was supposedly built.

Others, noting the physical similarity between the Hebrew letters g and k, suggest that the word may actually be kopher, the Hebrew word meaning “pitch”; thus kopher wood would be pitched wood. Recent suggestions have included a lamination process (to strengthen the Ark), or a now-lost type of tree, but there is no consensus.[3]
Cypress Pine late 12c., from O.Fr. cipres, from L. cyparissus, from Gk. kyparissos, from an unknown pre-Greek Mediterranean language. Perhaps related to Heb. gopher, name of the tree whose wood was used to make the ark (Gen. vi.14).

papakono   April 27th, 2010 - 5:41 pm

Simple way to prove it – 3 Things we know about the ark- a.size (excavate) b.what it’s made of (Gopherwood, should be easy to prove) c. all animals on board (all kinds of animal feces should be present, dna many floor samples). So check all 3

Airwick   April 27th, 2010 - 6:11 pm

kmichaels,
I don’t have to lie to refute your arguments, idiot, you do a fine job every time you post.

But while we are on the subject…tell us how you find it “interesting”, or even feasible, that Venus could have “spun off of Jupiter 10,000 years ago”. I love your recent comment, “And chances are you have no idea about the nature of the universe yourself, even today. So quit acting so high and mighty, dimwit”. Perhaps you should follow your own advice. You clearly know nothing about any subject relating to science and yet you continue to post comments. Are you still stuck on why Mars, with a carbon dioxide atmosphere, is cooler than Venus thereby disproving this as an effective greenhouse gas?

@kmichaels   April 27th, 2010 - 6:18 pm

Galileo quite likely did believe as ‘everyone’ else did until he worked with the telescope and discovered that the teaching of the church was not borne out by what he observed. His only mistake was thinking he could convince the church of the ’scientific’ reality of what he observed, ‘much like today’.

We do know Columbus recorded that he saw UFOs and recorded it in his captains log. But that is another story. Columbus was not an astronomer and could not have known whether the sun revolved around the earth or vice versa without a telescope. That’s why Galileo, the inventor of the telescope, was the first to notice.

Score for Hooky.

john   April 27th, 2010 - 6:26 pm

I love this story — rumored for decades, what is it? Give me some more data, either way I’m still a believer. There is nothing mutually exclusive about dinosaurs and God. If you believe in science, then you have to believe in all of it, including such things as String theory, quantum entanglement and general relativity. What does that mean?

Space and time are malleoble; things created together as in the big bang are still connected, and there are multiple universes — perhaps parallel; and, there are probably at least 11 dimensions of existence, not just the four we know, in a universe like ours.

Dinosaurs are tinker toys.

Airwick   April 27th, 2010 - 7:20 pm

kmichaels,
Can’t you get anything right? The simple fact is that the idea of a geocentric universe had already had been in dispute for some time. Haven’t you heard of Copernicus or Kepler? They had already surmised the fact that the “universe” was heliocentric and Kepler had already quite accurately described the Earth’s orbit as somewhat ellipsoid. This was done BEFORE Galileo’s construction of his telescope. The telescope simply was a tool that helped confirm previous work. Copernicus, Kepler, and others (Tycho Brahe) had already come to the conclusion that the Earth was not the center of the Universe by using the tools of the day, the quadrant (to measure angles), the triquetrum (also measures angles and determines altitudes), and the armillary sphere (determines celestial positions). What Copernicus found by careful observation and data collecting was that a geocentric universe could not explain the movement of the planets across the sky whereas a heliocentric model could. His text, “De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres)”, explained his ideas and was published just before his death in 1543, about 70 years prior to Galileo. Kepler expanded on this work and accurately described the Earth’s orbit later.

It also might interest you to know that the first person (in the literature) to suggest a heliocentric universe was Aristarchus in the third century BCE but his work was rejected in favor of Aristotle and Ptolemy who supported the geocentric one. This was 1800 years before Copernicus. In spite of what you may think, you don’t need to have a telescope to come to this conclusion and Galileo was NOT “the first to notice”.

for the same reason many people are now fully aware they do not need a priest to have Holy Communion. Yeshua (interpreted, Jesus in English) said, Do this in rembrance of me. He never said go to a Priest and have him do this to you in rembrance of me. Catholics “excummunicating” people went out when Christ became the ultimate sacrafice for us. We can partake in our homes, alone or with a group of friends. all that is required is that we genuinly remember and do it in rembrance of Christ.

The Rest of the Story   April 27th, 2010 - 7:35 pm

“We know what’s going on with Turkey archaeologically at that time, and there’s no major interruption in the culture,” Zimansky observed, referring to a flood.

“There’s not enough H2O in the world to get an ark that high up a mountain,” Kuniholm said.

Kuniholm has had to deal with repeated claims from ark-hunters, including claims based on purported discoveries of ancient wood, and it sounds as if he’s starting to get sick of it. He expects the latest report will end up in his thick file of ark discoveries that end up going nowhere.

“These guys have already gotten the answer worked out ahead of time,” he said, “and then they go out to prove it.”

given the fact that it is clearly a boat.
given the fact that they have carbon dated it to coincide with almost the exact date, based on that authority, i beleive it.

those of u claiming you doubt it you are just not big enough to admit you have been wrong in your beleifs. but who are you impressing? losing your soul to satisfy your pride?

there will be no other sign (you already have enough one earth to make up your minds)   April 27th, 2010 - 7:40 pm

some look for a “sign.”
if you are a little bible-literate you know Christ said, “there will be no other sign.”

what we are left with are the works of God and Christ as our facts. They were our signs. it is up to us to now beleive. God has given yo enough signs; what do you want one per say? THE HEAVENS AND HIS HANDIWORK is his sign. He gave it to you a long time ago. Use the evidence you have. there will be no other sign.

yes, the majority of us do beleive this   April 27th, 2010 - 7:40 pm

we are a Christian nation.

former atheist wrote: “Before you skeptics do your thing, what would you do if this is proven to be the actual boat?”
****

I’d wonder which religion would that discovery help.
Judaism, Christianity & Islam all relate basically the same
story about Noah & the Ark.

In fact, there is a similar story in the Vedas and ancient Sumeria
also told a story about a man in a big boat surviving a worldwide flood.

So this skeptic would wonder which of the three religions, Judaism,
Islam or Christianity had been proven right.

Sure it is April 27th, 2010 – 1:17 pm
Let’s see…what year was it that Galileo discovered that the Sun actually did not revolve around the Earth as people and the church had believed for centuries…1615 a.d.
—————————–

and where in the Bible did it tell us all about Galieo?
man is man GOD IS GOD.

In fact, there is a similar story in the Vedas
====================================================

once again proving the Bible is correct, not the Vedas.

or perhaps you can find the Vedas Boat????

HONESTLY, some of you will kiss the devil if it makes you not have to admit you have been totally wrong.

explain the Genesis 8:4 reference right down the correct name of the Mountains?

Superstition is great!!

another obama-mind!
you call a physical boat on top of a mountain, SUPERSTITION?
do you see your problem yet?

cutt of your nose because it doesnt look good with your lips   April 27th, 2010 - 7:54 pm

Like throwing a dart over your shoulder and where ever it lands painting a bullseye on it and proclaiming you hit the target.
————————–

however with the written record centuries old telling you it was left where it is now found leaves only fools who continue to claim otherwise?

took a hand on a wall to convince some; wht will it take some of you?   April 27th, 2010 - 7:58 pm

…. beleive me for the works that i have done.

So, 4,800 years ago there were only a few humans, and a few hundred animals, and they have managed to populate the entire Earth in that amount of time? Not to mention having marsupials in Australia as well as many species native to only certain regions of the Earth? Boy, it must be nice to be able to buy that sort of fairy tale. A belief in a supernatural afterlife could sure make all your fears of dying go away. Which, BTW, is the reason religion was invented in the first place. Keep believing in fairy tales in you want. I require proof. Unless there is DNA from every species of animal in this wood, I don’t think it proves a thing even if it turns out to be a boat. But, of course, there must be a godly reason why the “proof” will be inconclusive.

RELIGION IS FOR FOOLS.

I believed the above statement for most of my adult life. Then something happened which completely changed me. I met god.

He lives next door. God is my neighbor’s cat.

I know you think this is just ridiculous, but I know this to be true.

Please don’t try to convince me I’m wrong. It’ll just demonstrate your lack of faith.

And people who don’t accept my neighbors cat as god will spend the rest of eternity in hell after they die.

Join me and welcome god into your heart.

His name is Mittens.

Jeff fromTO   April 27th, 2010 - 8:57 pm

I don’t need archeological discoveries to convince me of what I have always known in my heart.

Repugnicans are Losers   April 27th, 2010 - 9:14 pm

@Jeff fromTO: Uh, your heart is a muscle, just like your biceps. Can you “know” something in your biceps? Nope. Which is why you can’t “know” something in your heart. You can “know” something with your brain, but to “know” something requires empirical evidence. When is comes to religion there is no empirical evidence. The best you can hope to do is to have “faith” which is a belief in something without having proof. Just like the way children believe in the Easter Bunny.

Paul Thompson   April 27th, 2010 - 9:36 pm

Love is the highest goal to aspire to. There is no love in gov’t (mammon), this world’s system, so we will see what you can ‘know’, empirically.
I’m going to aspire to know love which is God.

Unfortunately this appears a fake based on Mike Heiser’s recent correspondence with one of Dr. Price’s students. See this post for details:

@ Repugnicans are Losers……. In space before atoms, Quarks, time, distance, nothing…..ABSOLUTELY NOTHING…..existed and then BANG!!!! EVERYTHING begins out of nothing at all, your are right “Repugnicans are Losers” who could believe such a foolish thing there is no real evidence that that had even happened the professors of science must be as dumb as a post to believe such crap the, science books should all be taken out of schools for teaching such fairytales and make believe, I’m glad your on board with me though you and I know better.

Is this underground where the ship was located. Do they have any pics from any angles besides below ground?

False Prophets   April 27th, 2010 - 10:59 pm

There is a reason the bible warns against false prophets.

Keep an open but very critical mind until all the facts are in, or not.

Believing everything you hear about is foolish and not supported in the bible or Christianity.

No one posting here knows enough about this to be able to say it is true or not true yet they are ready to fight when it is challenged.

Moon struck   April 27th, 2010 - 11:08 pm

It can be explained, False Prophets, by the fact there is a full moon out right now. LOL

@Airwick   April 27th, 2010 - 11:39 pm

Nice post at 7:20, very thoughtful, you seem to have done some homework.

But I think you unloaded on Kmichaels when it looks like you intended it for @-Kmichaels post. LOL

The point of all this is not about Columbus or Galileo, it is about ancient people, 4800 years ago, who had no idea the earth was round or that it revolved around the sun, may have had a different perception of events that occurred in their day like a flood that was only local but appeared to them to be global. No authentic artifacts have ever been produced that showed otherwise. And this may very well turn out to be nothing more than an elaborate hoax.

And, yes, there is a full moon out. LOL

The fool still says in their heart that there is no GOD…King David (Psalm 14:1 and Psalm 53:1)

There is still A Day Appointed that they will give an account for continually rejecting JESUS CHRIST and having their sin forgiven. (Acts 17:30-31)

It’s not that they can’t know; it’s that they refuse to know and the Ark would not change anything.

They have enough evidence that demands a verdict and will bend the knee and confess with their tongue in the final analysis in His Court.

Today still remains “The Day of Salvation” to all who have an ear and a repentant heart.

“JESUS CHRIST is the Same yesterday, today and forever” Eternal GOD, LORD and KING and so much more!

Copernicus   April 28th, 2010 - 12:44 am

The Atheist has a lot more to explain than the one who believes in GOD.

ShemHamJapeth   April 28th, 2010 - 12:57 am

The fool still continues to say in their heart “There is no GOD” King David (Psalm 14:1 and Psalm 53:1)

It’s not that they can’t believe; it is that they refuse to believe because they want to live their lives according to the dictates of their own stiffnecked will.

But there is still “A Day Appointed” that they will give an account to for continually and repeatedly rejecting JESUS CHRIST as their Creator and The Only One Who can forgive their life of sin.
(Acts 17:30-31)

There is enough Evidence that demands a Verdict for anyone but they continue to suppress the Truth in their unrighteousness. (Romans 1:16-32)

He knows their DNA and will continue to draw them up to a point only He decides and then their reprobate mind and hearts will be seared beyond response.
