 |
|
Link to a wiki piece on the Ararat anomaly and also an 'ark' found in Turkey lower down the mountains 20 miles from the anomaly .
I thought this was interesting since I read about it in Redfern's book Strange Secrets. He covers a lot of diferent paranormal , ufo, and other strange tales.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ararat_anomaly
click on lower links to see the Wyatt 'ark' that remains on the ground and not under snow like the Ararat anomaly.

There has been reports of the "ark" on Mt. Ararat for years....but so far no proof.
I would think that by now, they could have gotten to it and done some tests.

Scam,
The lower ark down the mountain side is definitely a 'boat-like structure 'and they have old nails and wood from it...but no one has proven it's 'Noah's Ark.
The one high up on the face of Ararat has never been touched by people and only seen via pics and fly over analysis . It could be merely a rock anomaly that looks like a boat.

If we can put a man on the moon, surely we can put a man on that high point and check it out.
Wouldn't carbon dating give them an idea of the age of the wood and nails on that lower "boat"?

Those are two good points.
The anomaly on Ararat is very high up (>15,000 feet) and can only be reached via a mountain climbing expedition, and apparently no one has done this because the Turkish govt has not allowed this. From what I have read in several places, including Redfern's book, the CIA is interested in the anomaly (for over 50 years and this is common knowledge both publicly and inside the govt)) but has not been able to get at it.
The other boat like object is accessible and several groups have taken pieces with the Turkish govt's ok . I do not know if carbon testing has been done but regular examination shows they are indeed very old nails/bolts of the kind made a long time ago for use in buildings and boats. Of course this does not prove they are from Noahs Ark.
I think it's possible that the event we call Noah's Ark did occur but not in a Biblical sense but as historical flood of some sort and it has been turned into religious myth many years later by those who crafted the OT which were Jewish writers.

I agree. I think that is the case with many of the events recorded in the bible. Natural phenomena that was written to appear as miraculous.
Imo, the bible is nothing more than just a story that weaves history with fiction.

The Gilgamesh saga has a flood scenario two. The question is : was it all one event from different aspects and in differnt cultures or were there different big major floods?

From what I have read over the years there have been several major floods in that area and some way back that might have been somehwat global. The various cultures all have their stories...and myths.
