Ark up a mountain ?
According to an article in The Belfast Telegraph, a group of evangelical christians have finally found Noah's Ark....
http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/ne...-14783490.html
I personally think the following is the most interesting part of the article....
Quote:
“If there had been a flood capable of lifting a huge ship 4km up the side of a mountain 4,800 years ago, I think there would be substantial geological evidence for this flood around the world — and there isn't,” he said.
Nicholas Purcell, a lecturer in ancient history at Oxford University, said the claims were the ‘usual nonsense'. He added: “If floodwaters covered Eurasia 12,000ft deep in 2,800BC, how did the complex societies of Egypt and Mesopotamia, already many centuries old, keep right on regardless?”

It will be interesting if the finders of "Noah's Ark" will be able, or willing to lead scientists to the site so that rigerous testing can be carried out on "The Ark".... Until then, I shall withold judgement....

Re: Ark up a mountain ?
just about every major religion there has ever been has had flood stories so i think there is some truth to it but not a world wide flood ,it just raises too many questions ,where did the animals come from that weren't on the ark ,where did all the water go ,and what about inbreeding ..nah sorry but it just doesn't hold water with me

The Ark and the man called Noah was just one of them stories you could make up at the time, and nobody would be any the wiser. they weren't thinking of the future where it'll be laughed at.

Well from what I have read the pyamids and sphinx in eygpt are claimed to be around 4,000 years old, but some of the errosion appears to be from water, which would make them approx several. thousand years older.

Re: Ark up a mountain ?
Hmm!
http://www.theoutlaws.com/unexplained9.htm
I think it's a really complicated story.It's possibly a matter of faith for some.
Personally whatever real truth there is is lost in time and I think there will always be arguments about it..just as there are about the whereabouts of Troy and Atlantis...

Re: Ark up a mountain ?
No photos of it then? Odd, considering it's probably one of the most important finds in history... Allegedly.
