MAR Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Has Noah's Ark Been Found? Christian Archaeology Team Believes It's Found Biblical Remains (June 29) - Texas archaeologists believe they may have located the remains of Noah's Ark in Iran's Elburz mountain range. "I can't imagine what it could be if it is not the Ark," said Arch Bonnema of the Bible Archaeology Search and Exploration (B.A.S.E) Institute, a Christian archeology organization dedicated to looking for biblical artifacts. Bonnema and the other B.A.S.E. Institute members hiked for seven hours in the mountains northwest of Tehran, climbing 13,000 feet before making the apparent discovery. "We got up to this object, nestled in the side of a hill," said Robert Cornuke, a member of the B.A.S.E. Institute. "We found something that has my heart skipping a beat." At first, they didn't dare to hope it was the biblical boat. "It wasn't impressive at first," Cornuke said. "Certainly didn't think it to be Noah's Ark. But when we got close, we were amazed. It looked similar to wood." In addition, some B.A.SE. members say, their discovery didn't look very distinctive. "It looked like the deck of any boat today," Bonnema said. Long Search for the Ark The Bible places the Ark in the mountains of Ararat, a mountain range theologians believe spans hundreds of miles, which the team says is consistent with their find in Iran. The Bible also describes the Ark's dimensions as being 300 cubits by 50 cubits -- about the size of a small aircraft carrier. The B.A.S.E. Institute's discovery is similar in size and scale. "It is provocative to think that this could be the lost ark of Noah," Cornuke said. Throughout history, people have been searching for the Ark to help prove God's existence. "There's this idea, if we can prove that the Ark existed then we can prove that the story existed, and more importantly, we can prove that God existed," said Bruce Feiler, author of "Where God Was Born." Previous scholars have searched for the Ark on Mount Ararat in Turkey. "Czar Nicholas, actually, in 1916 sent two expeditions to photograph it on top of Mount Ararat," said Feiler. One former U.S. president, Feiler said, looked for it in the mountains of Iran. "There is a story that Jimmy Carter, on his way to visit the Shah of Iran in 1977, purposefully flew over it," he said. As recently as March, researcher claimed to have satellite photos that proved the presence of Ark remains. The B.A.S.E institute hopes the physical evidence they've brought back from Iran will hold the answer to this enduring mystery. "People will always be looking for it, always be skeptical, always be excited of the search," Cornuke said. "But I think we found something here that's very notable." The B.A.S.E. Institute's samples are being examined at labs in Texas and Florida. B.A.S.E officials concede that there would be no way to conclusively prove that their finding is actually Noah's Ark. So the hunt goes on. The biggest hurdle in identifying Noah's Ark comes down to "gopher wood." The Bible says the Ark was made of gopher wood but no one knows what it is. I honestly dont know what to say...but I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they make the jump from proving a story was partly based in reality to an all powerful overseeing being existing? *beaten. but i said it better....

Hayabusa Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 so your telling me that a piece of wood found ontop of some mountain proves that the ark exists, that god exists and that the wood has been around for over 3000 years? riiiiiiiiiiiiiight maybe if an unbiased scientific group did the research, i would believe them a tad more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.crooked Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 ive always dug archeology. especially archeological anthropology. i took a forensic anthropology class which was interesting, and i suppose the nitty gritty of archeological anthropology, but i did not enjoy the class much.

I think I would appreciate archeological anthropology more from the historical rather than forensic side.[/quote'] My first love and desired profession when I was young was archaeology. I had a huge collection of books, tapes, maps, etc. Then I switched to marine biology, and later decided to go the art/design route. I'm still seriously considering going back to school for marine biology. Not that I don't like the art/design thing, but sometimes I feel i'd do better in it if it remained my hobby rather than my job. Anyways, whatever the fuck they found, if it is made out of wood and is the size of an aircraft carrier, I'd say that's pretty remarkable indeed.
