Noah's Ark found?

I'm thinking the main reason that Noah's Ark will never be found is.... because it never existed.

Anyone keeping tabs on how many times the Ark has been "found?"

Apparently the wood has been dated as 4800 yrs old using Carbon Dating!!

Now, hasn't Carbon Dating and other means of radio-metric dating made certain fundamentalist beliefs look a little, well, implausible?

One of the biggest arguments I hear against evolution is that "carbon dating is completely inacurate and unreliably."

Apparently, unless they believe it supports their position.

How big is the structure they found? Big enough to hold two of every animal in the world and to keep all the carnivores in their own individual separate compartments so they could not eat the other animals? And of course teeny little compartments that would hold each species of insect, also individually, so they would not eat eachother?

That's particularly stupid since carbon dating is rarely used to date on an evolutionary timescale.

I say we give the guy points for believing in carbon dating. I doubt he extends the same logic to Potassium-Argon dating, though.
 
"Noah's Ark" sillyness aside, this is pretty cool. It's a fairly large structure very high up. I'm reading the more in-depth account on the group's page (loads VERY slowly) and it's a really cool find.
 
This blog entry on the story cracked me up.
..."The group of archaeologists ruled out an established human settlement, explaining one had never been found above 11,500 feet in the vicinity."

By the way, here WND makes the offer of a basically unrelated book by Joe Kovacs which explains all the mysteries of the bible, including the FACTS about Noah’s Ark, available front and center in their article for a really low price!

But now, back to the story. ...

I read the blog first and was perusing other web sites, then i looked closer at the link I cited in the above post. Sure enough, there was the link to the ad the blogger was joking about. The web page is the "WND Superstore".
...Several compartments, some with wooden beams, are said to be inside, and could have been used to house animals, the group indicated.

Yes, Noah's Ark is completely real! Now find out "what you don't Noah" about the story as well as your spectacular destiny they rarely ever mention in church in this autographed No. 1 best-seller!

Fixed that for you.
 
I'm amused that the URL seems to think that the ark landed on Mount Arafat.

So can you read this then?

Google's "translate this page" [not] of the web page.

(BTW, you can stop the page loading after a couple seconds and you get most of the page without waiting for all of it to load.)


There are more images at the bottom even if one cannot read the page.

You can take text sections and translate them on Babelfish.

I got this translation from one of the image subtitles (trad.Chinese to English):
The scene demonstrated obtains the wooden sample, the crystal, the rope and the white granular object on the Yala sacrificial mountain

Hmmmm.. If Noah built his ark on river banks, loaded it with a flock of chickens, a litter of pigs, a set of oxen, some sheep, and waited for the winter rains to raise the river, then drifted around for 40 days, his barge would have hit land right exactly at sea level. (I wonder what sea level was at the time?) Add 4,000 years of exaggeration via verbal lore, and you get a bit of a different story.

Hmm... I wonder what kind of Bronze Age Warming Period took place 4800 years ago, to allow a building on the top of "Mt. Arafat"? Some kind of temple perhaps? What religion was prominent in that time and place? Maybe that is the mount that Moses got his sermon on...

It doesn't need to be that big. If all of the pseudoarchaeologists are to be believed, Noah had 400 arks.
 
I have seen a picture (sorry I can't retrieve it); but you can authenticate the Ark by the Darwin Fish bumper-sticker.
 
All the while I was reading this story, I kept thinking "I wonder if any REAL scientist will investigate it?" Everybody involved seems to be a creationist, and/or already prone to believing in the Ark's reality.
 
Don't most bible thumpers place the flood around 2300 B.C.? How accurate is their sooper sekret Iranian carbon-dating technique(according to the main article)? Why'd they go to Iran for carbon-dating? These archaeologists are Turkish and in Turkey, funded by a Hong Kong and USA group, and they go to Iran? Because Iran is famous for it's cutting edge carbon-dating technology? Or because it's a lot less likely that the media they're playing to will try to contact Iranian sources?

I'd imagine a good carbon-dating lab in North Korea would have been preferred.
