It's not there, there was a book I read a few years ago that talked about where it really would be, supposedly in Iraq somewhere. Wish I could remember the name of the book now though

interesting. if this is truly a wooden ship on top of a 15K foot mountain and carbon dating puts the wood back to Noa's time, i will definatly be rethinking my religious views.
I wouldn't. Even if the thing turns out to be a boat (unlikely), it doesn't prove that the story as told in the Bible is true.
8:4 And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the foothills of Ararat.
i will because its pretty damn hard to explain how a a 450 foot wooden ship is perched on a 15K mountain.
Turkey's Area 51.Originally posted by: everman
I don't understand why the government of Turkey won't just let archeologists go up there and see this once and for all. There's either something there or there isn't, pretty simple really.
Are they still concerned that they might be spies from the CIA or something stupid like that? just get it over with.
Maybe the writer of that article might want to travel back in time and ask Archimedes?Given that length, Taylor pointed out, the anomaly dwarfs the Titanic and Bismarck in size, and equals the size of the largest modern aircraft carrier. That analysis would seem to call into question whether the anomaly is a wooden ship and raises a key question: If a boat were truly that huge, would it float?
the Bible is not a history book, so any dates or figures should be taken with a grain of sodium cloride.Originally posted by: TripleAAA
With the "Great Flood", you have to wonder how high waters rose considering it supposedly rained for "40 days and 40 nights". If it was a steady downpour for that long, why couldn't a boat have ended up where it might be? Who knows...it's an interesting mystery though.

Because it gives credit to the Bible or something?
It wouldn't matter if the whole bible was the truth. I mean..
Look, it was 2,000 years ago. Obviously we didn't understand things the way we do today.
It very well could be true that the region flooded. Maybe someone decided to build a boat and save people and animals. People have done far stranger things in the name of God.
Doesen't change anything.

Turns out that it was actually Noah's Lark. Studebaker Lark. All just a big misunderstanding in the Bible. He was just such a hick that he had two of every animal (well, lots of possums, hogs, and chickens) in the car already.

Maybe he means that some wealthy merchant or something got the idea that he'd need to build a boat for a coming stormy season, and he might have brough some horses or camels or something on it to repopulate afterwards. It rained really hard a few days, and there was local flooding. Afterwards, the merchant started travelling again, and told grand tales of his surviving this "great flood" with his "ark" and that he had two of every one of his animals onboard. Story got passed around about this, and eventually found its way into the combined works that became the Bible.

Interestingly enough there are many religions that talk of an ancient flood. Could have been something like the Tsunami that wiped out most of SE Asia this year.
