THE remains of Noah's Ark have been discovered 13,000ft up a Turkish mountain, it has been claimed.
A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers say they have found wooden remains on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey.
They claim carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old — around the same time the ark was said to be afloat.

I love the reasoning people use when it comes to religion:
Found wooden remains on a mountain = It was built to withstand a global flood, held all animals and their story is true. (This one is particularly stupid because IF it did happen you can bet it would have been disassembled and used for building wood
)
Empty tomb discovered = It had Jesus in it but he was resurrected so the story is true.
I mean the leap required to get from A to B is huge, but I never put anything past religious people when it comes to such. Surely I could claim that the discovery of an empty sarcophagus such as the one in the Sekhemkhet pyramid must be evidence of a resurrection, and may serve as evidence for the truth of some ancient myths and their gods. Do you have any questions? I've got
assertions answers.

What,
again? How many fucking times are they gonna discover Noah's Ark on Mount Bloody Ararat?
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

That was my first thought too when I saw the thread's title.
It used to be said that if you got all the bits that circulated as allegedly having been part of the cross Jesus was killed on, there'd be enough wood for an entire navy and enough nails to put its ships together with. I suppose, all those arks being discovered would simply fast-track its expansion.

First time I heard of it was 30 some-odd years ago - and IIRC, the story was old even then. The only thing that has changed is the names of the discoverers and some of the dates. The place, the elevation, and all the rest was exactly the same, right down to the name of the ministry if memory serves.

Amazing how myths can grow though. Some clever marsh arab lashes a raft together before a flood and slings a couple of goats on it and next thing you know it is an ark containing every animal in the world.
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

This is just silly.
Noah's ark was discovered and broken up years ago.
Where else do you think all those fragments of the true cross came from?
