It has been claimed that the remains of Noah’s Ark have been discovered 12,000 feet or 3,600 meters up a Turkish mountain.

Carbon testing on rope and wood found on Mount Ararat shows they are 4,800 years old—dating from around the time when the ark was said to be afloat, said a group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers.

Fifteen archaeologists collected remains from what they believe were stalls on the ark for housing animals.

“It’s not 100 percent that it is Noah’s Ark but we think it’s 99.9 percent,” said Yeung Wing-cheung of the Hong Kong-based Noah’s Ark Ministries International.

Early indications, however, show that the wood is different to that used in the ark in the Bible.

Christian, Muslim, and Jewish texts mention Noah’s Ark but scientific evidence of it has yet to be found. According to the Bible, the ark was built by Noah at God’s command to save himself, his family, and the world’s animals from a worldwide deluge.

    I hope this isn't a pic of supposed “ark” because if you enlarge it you will see a propellor on the stern. Prolly a 5,000 year old Evinrude.

    Oh, and suddenly carbon dating is reliable enough for those deluded wackos… How convenient.
    *laugh out loud*

    • Brian

      so you believe in something from a book than something that can be proven with science? now im laughing out loud!

      com'on this is fake…. how can an ark 600 years ago the wood still good

    Especially in it's location, including after it's use of a water vessel then being the only location of food stores and resources for Noah and Co. this boat would not have survived the time. Christians don't believe in carbon dating. Also is all the specs right? That picture isn't of it for the simple fact that Mount Ararat is a frozen mountain! Flawed once again guys.

      The picture was used only for illustration purposes, but the group that found the remnant indeed exists.

    If you read the Bible the dimensions of the ark are enormous – it was the size of a football pitch and wasn't the typical “ark” with a giraffe's head popping out of it!

    WOW I don´t know… but the possibility that the deluge was not a world event product of a desglaciation,with affecting surroundings of the black sea;the animals that occupied the ark were living in the region.

    I seldom believe in speculation especially in history but this kind of news I would say that I believe in this because of 99.9 % based on SCIENTIFIC STUDY of fifteen archaeologists. Amazing post…thanks it is very informative!.

    You've got to be kidding me… First of all the wood used in the Bible is 'Gopher Wood' which… doesn't name any wood we know of today, so there's no way to be sure that it's a different sort of wood at all. Second, Carbon Dating is… flawed. When you can take a sample of a living animal and have it come up as several MILLION years old then you have a flawed system… unless you want to say that the animal lives that long, which is preposterous. Third… this is old news. People have been claiming that they've found the remains of the ark on one mountain or another in the middle east for years… And finally, the 'dimensions' of the Ark could be (and probably are) much larger than what biblical scholars think. We don't really know how long a 'cubit' or a 'furlong' or whatever actually is, we can only speculate from evidence, and a lot of evidence suggests that we're wrong.

    is is real???

      who knows? but it is possible it's real because the discoverers were archeologists, who have knowledge of these things.
