Noah's Ark found in Turkey

Plenty of doubt exists, but here is the news story:

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.

Biblical tale ... Noah filled the ark with two of each animal species
Yeung Wing-Cheung, from the Noah's Ark Ministries International research team, said: "It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it."

Dig

He said the structure contained several compartments, some with wooden beams, that they believe were used to house animals.

The group of evangelical archaeologists ruled out an established human settlement on the grounds none have ever been found above 11,000ft in the vicinity, Yeung said.

Local Turkish officials will ask the central government in Ankara to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status so the site can be protected while a major archaeological dig is conducted.

The biblical story says that God decided to flood the Earth after seeing how corrupt it was.

He then told Noah to build an ark and fill it with two of every animal species.

After the flood waters receded, the Bible says, the ark came to rest on a mountain.

Many believe that Mount Ararat, the highest point in the region, is where the ark and her inhabitants ran aground.

Somebody posted it here yesterday Melensdad & I did a little research . Also theres several Utube videos about the different times someone said they found it . But so far this at leat appears to be the real deal from what I,ve heard .

It was actually found awhile back but the weather forced them back down the mountain & this was the first time they were able to get back up there to check it out closer & take more samples .

From what I understand this section was found in a cave that was created a long time ago from an earthquake that they say broke it up in different sections . Definatlly an interesting find even if it does turn out to be something else . Allthough I,m not sure what other explanation there could be to find a boat like vessel above 13 thousand feet under a glacier :whistling:
