TURKEY – A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical Christians have made an incredible discovery – or so they claim!
The claims by an evangelical Christian filmmaker and Turkish scientists are that they have discovered Noah’s Ark encased in ice on Mount Ararat. The findings have been met with both excitement and skepticism. They are not the first group to make such a “findings,” but despite the countless rumors, claims of sightings and expeditions, no scientific evidence of the Ark has been provided.
According to Genesis 8:4, the Ark came to rest “in the mountains of Ararat.” Experts have come to the agreement that the mountains mentioned in the bible are located in present-day Armenia and eastern Turkey.
Yeaung Wing-cheung of Hong Kong is one of the men behind these recent claims. “We are not saying that we are 100 percent certain that what we found is Noah’s Ark. No one has ever seen the ark, no one knows what it looks like,” he said. “We are only 99 percent certain that it is Noah’s Ark based on historical accounts, including the Bible and local beliefs of the people in the area, as well as carbon dating.”
“The significance of this find is that for the first time in history the discovery of Noah’s Ark is well documented and revealed to the worldwide community,” Dutch Ark researcher Gerrit Aalten said at a press conference announcing the findings. He’s been called in to verify the validity of this new finding.
Local Turkish officials have begun the process of asking the central government in Ankara to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status so the site may be protected and a major archaeological dig may commence.
These findings may differ slightly from those of Weekly World News.
Its out there. If indeed this is it, the response of liberal media and university "scholars" will be interesting.
I have heard that Noahs ark has been see before by a group of Russian scientists.Also an air craft fling over during the second world war saw it.It is suppose to be under ice in all but the hottest of summers and therefore preserved.
Noah sure found a good parking spot! 🙂
I remember When Jesus told ME to build the Ark… I told him That I didn't have time… now I only have one hand. 🙁
Praise the wonderful, most high and loving Lord that it has been discovered. It just proves to all athiests that the bible is true. How can someone not believe?
