Noah's Ark Found...

Some idea of scale would be nice. That object could be 4 inches across , for all we know. Is the broken surface below and to the right trees? Crevassed ice? Broccoli?

The face of the anomaly measured 1,015 feet (309 meters) across, Franz said.

How many cubits is that?

Franz adds, inexplicably,
I also found the shape of the anomaly appears to fit on a circle. I am not sure what this means, if anything, but I find it curious.

The ark's found every few years or so, always in a different place.

Shifty, that ark. Very shifty. Always hiding.

Shifty indeed. By now, the fossilized ark has eroded and is moving very similar to shifting sand dunes in the wind. The real mystery is how it shifts and retains its ark-like appearance.
 
The bigger mystery is why hordes of people still pay those Creationist losers who claim to have found the ark buckets of money to go "research" these findings. Clearly our education systems need to be overhauled...
 
Oh crap. The ark was found. Now I really regret committing the unforgivable sin.

Don't say we didn't warn you. "JP," we said. "Voluntary consumption of Bud Lite angers the Almighty." But did you listen? Nooooo.

Actually, the "beached" part is the most important. The most crucial thing for fossilization to occur is burial. According to the Bible, Noah's ark landed on a mountain, and a very tall one at that (since it was the first one he saw as the waters subsided). Mountains are sites of erosion, not deposition. If anything, the ark would be washed into the valleys and eventually into the sea, probably after rotting into tiny little pieces.

That just how atheists think that fossils are made. All credible scientists agree that fossilization is impossible because it contradicts the second law of thermodynamics. Therefore, God made fossils by magic.

That can't possibly be Noah's Ark. A much more Ark-looking bump was already found.

On Mars.

It's a tribute to the glory of God, and the amazingly poor navigation skills of Noah.

You unholy monkey!!!

It was a Universal flood! What part of UNIVERSAL you fail to understand?

Glory to the Lord!!!!
 
A cubit is equal to 0.5236 meters, so the biblical ark would have measured 157 meters long by 26 meters wide. The anomaly has a similar length to width ratio as the biblical ark, but it is about twice as large as it should be (309 meters). It is interesting that the article leaves out this detail, but not surprising.
 
The Discovery Channel ran a show last week titled "Noah's Ark: The True Story".

My expectations were low when they started with almost the same image from the side of Mr. Ararat. But the show was very good.

They actually discussed early records of regional floods, that were found in the historical texts of surrounding regions. They speculated that the story could have originated from a story about an early Sumerian "king". He was a wealthy man who had a barge where he transported goods (like grains and animals) along the river.

Local large flood. Where else would you and your family take refuge? Everyone might have piled onto the boat, and rode out the flooding.
(story highly summarized)
It sure made more sense than the biblical version.

I could swear that Penn and Teller spoke about excactly that on the episode they did about the bible.

Exactly. But I also don't think you even need a real event to see how a story like this might become popular. They still show a lot of Godzilla movies here, but that doesn't mean that they're based on a really big lizard being found somewhere.
