Noah's Ark Discovered!

[Mysturji]

What, again? How many fucking times are they gonna discover Noah's Ark on Mount Bloody Ararat?

Yeah. I remember seeing and hearing all about this discovery in a movie back in the 70's.
The same move also proved Bigfoot.
... And something else, but I forget what. Either Eric von Daniken or Pyramid Power.
But it was in a move so it must be true.
This is old news.

I found another picture taken from inside this wooded structure......



We see here evidence that the animals had straw bed, because there is straw in this picture....4,800 year old straw!

The group that spent all that money building the ark museum at the other site will be pissed off.

Arkeologists' Discovery

The headline said "Group claims to have discovered Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat, Turkey." Then we are told that "Chinese and evangelical explorers believe they may have found Noah's Ark - 4000m up a mountain in Turkey…The team said it had recovered wooden specimens from a structure on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey that carbon dating proved was 4800 years old, around the same time the ark is said to have been afloat."

Sure. It sounds too much like the language of evolutionists for me to believe that it’s the Ark. The explorers "believe" they "may" have found it. Then they are trusting in good old carbon dating. Photoshop has changed everything. There have been too many hoaxes in the past for me to be a believer.

If it is the Ark, may it wake up the biblical sceptics. I’m sceptical by nature, but I’m not a biblical cynic. But any cynicism was dealt with, the moment I came to know the Lord.

And if this is just another hoax, it’s no big deal. My salvation isn’t dependent on (or in need of) scientific confirmation of incidents in the Bible, but on my relationship with God. His reality confirms His Word.

I guess it’s just a matter of time. Local Turkish officials are seeking to give this "World Heritage status" so the site can be protected while a major archaeological dig is conducted. When they get unbiased secular archeologists digging, I will sit up and take more notice. Maybe Professor Dawkins could help with the dig...

How do they know it wasn't Atrahasis's ark, or perhaps the one Gilgamesh borrowed from him?

Actually, we found it was a bit newer ark than they thought.

Trigger Warning!!!1! :

In a little-known version of Genesis, the first birds to leave the Ark were a pair of Fulmars.

And of course the Ark had a ship's cat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsinkable_Sam

In the 6000-year old Earth timescale, that's still pretty old.

Great comments in the Daily Fail....

The fact that the Flood really occurred is verified by a number of Bible writers. (Isa 54:9; 2Pe 3:5, 6; Heb 11:7) The strongest evidence, however, is the testimony of Jesus Christ himself, who was an eyewitness in the heavens.

So then, I am educated, I have a B.S. in Telecom, next month I will finish my cert. for a CBAP, certified business analyst professional, and am currently enrolled in a university here in the states to earn my MA in Psychology, and open my own practice...so I am not some uneducated bafoon....If one were to look at all of the evidence objectively, there is absolutely nothing that can disprove christanity.. the harder science works the more it proves that christianity os the absolute truth. But in order to do this one will take the easy way out and join with those who will accept no responsiblity for their lives... because if God IS real that means there is an accountablity for our actions.. there really is a heaven and a hell....and you must stand up and make a decision...most humans that I know refuse to do that so they hide behind a science that in the long run will not save them point in case noah's ark..Darwin recanted his theory of evolution

Meh? the guy sure has a Bull Shit degree ... and why would a psychology degree be useful to a business analyst? me thinks the buffoon speaks through its butt.

I wanted to post a picture of a gopher with an erection to get "gopher wood" and my search was unfruitful.

So much for rule 32 (or whatever).

Plenty gopher holes, though...

How many frigging arks were there? I have a book about the discovery of the ark written back in the 1970s.

There were a fleet of arks.
This was the "B" Ark.

[Coito ergo sum]

Apparently, the evangelicals, Noah's Ark Ministries International, who are funding this debacle are "99.9 percent" that a wooden structure found on the mountainside was part of a ship that housed the Biblical Noah, his family and a menagerie of creatures during a giant flood 4,800 years ago.

Genesis identifies the mountains of Urartu (a.k.a. Ararat) as the landing zone for the ark, but not a specific peak. If the ark actually did land on Mt. Ararat specifically, and not just in the "mountains of" Ararat, then why would the writer not just write "Mt. Ararat?"

And, of course, there is not enough water in the world to get an ark that high up a mountain.

Is that the "original" that is worded like that, or the KJV? Translation errors could account for this.

Errors?

Since the original was in Hebrew, and I do not read Hebrew, I do not know.

But, "The name Ararat, as it appears in the Bible, is the Hebrew equivalent of ...Urartu, ancient country of southwest Asia...mentioned in Assyrian sources from the early 13th century BC" Encyclopaedia Britanica 15th ed. And, the Mountains of Ararat (Armenian: Արարատ, Turkish Ağrı Dağı, Biblical Hebrew הרי אררט, Tiberian hārəy Ǎrārāṭ, Septuagint: τὰ ὄρη τὰ or τοῦ Ἀραρὰτ) is the place named in the Book of Genesis where Noah's Ark came to rest after the great flood (Genesis 8:4). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountains_of_Ararat. The Book of Jubilees (7:1) specifies that the Ark came to rest on one of the peaks of the "Mountains of Ararat" called "Lubar". Id. The Latin Vulgate says "requievitque arca [...] super montes Armeniae", which means literally "and the ark rested [...] on the mountains of Armenia", which was corrected to "... mountains of Ararat" (montes Ararat) in the Nova Vulgata (New Vulgate). Id.
