Achaeologists have long sought to explore the bible's most famous stories - and a group of evangelical christians were convinced that they had found the remains of Noah's Ark.

They explored the Mount Ararat region of Turkey and said they were convinced they had found the remains of the famous biblical vessel. Turkish and Chinese explorers from a group called Noah's Ark Ministries International said: "It's not 100 percent that it is Noah's ark, but we think it is 99.9 percent that this is it."

The team also claimed to have found in 2007 and 2008 seven large wooden compartments buried at 13,000 feet (4,000 meters) above sea level, near the peak of Mount Ararat. They returned to the site with a film crew in October 2009. They added: "The structure is partitioned into different spaces.

"We believe that the wooden structure we entered is the same structure recorded in historical accounts."

However, given that explorers regularly claim to have found Noah's Ark – various experts expressed scepticism.

Paul Zimansky, an archaeologist specializing in the Middle East at Stony Brook University in New York State, said: "I don't know of any expedition that ever went looking for the ark and didn't find it."

Biologist and director of the Center for Origins Research, Tom Wood also said he doubted the find.

Mr Wood, also a creationist, referred to radiocarbon dating and concluded that the wood found isn't old enough.

He said that "if you accept a young chronology for the Earth ... then radiocarbon dating has to be reinterpreted" because the method often yields dates much older than 6,000 years.

Radiocarbon dating helps gauge the age of objects – and is generally thought to reach its limit with objects about 60,000 years old.

Wood continued: "I'm really, really skeptical that this could possibly be Noah's Ark." He said the wood date is "way, way, way too young."

Mr Wood said he thought Noah's ark will never be found, because "it would have been prime timber after the flood".

He added: "If you just got off the ark, and there's no trees, what are you going to build your house out of? You've got a huge boat made of wood, so let's use that. "So I think it got torn apart and scavenged for building material basically."

Scholars also concluded that the find was dubious because Genesis never specifies which peak the vessel supposedly landed on in Turkey.

In November last year – other explorers claimed they had found a mysterious ship-shaped object at Durupınar site.

Geologists rubbished the claim, saying that it was just an unusual mountain formation.

Cem Sertesen, who took pictures of the supposed discovery, said: "These are the actual images of Noah's Ark.

"They are neither fake nor simulation. They show the entire ship buried underground."

Wow incredible story from the one only macjebs

Good One,









#God is the Greatest,
#Jesus Christ Rules.

I thought they said scientists dont believe in the bible

One thing I know is that, the bible is the word of God, and the word of God is truth and life, the bible has no discrepancies,is the best book in the world, with so much truth and insights

All these discoveries are wack to me. Nobody can accurately state the age of this earth, so how sure are they that the discovery is Noah ark. It's mere speculation.

These people sha

So it's real? What would atheist say now?

Ok

This is not the right time for such please..

Alot is happening, especially in Nigeria (no light,bad roads, kidnapping, robbery, coronavirus, election tension, broken homes,flood, failed relationships,bribery and corruption,etc..)to worry about, these days...

Na only Noah fit settle this

They have been discovering this Noah's ark for centuries now. Shuu

lol, some people are,dreamers and do live in their dream, instead of exploring reality.

Meanwhile copy hd movies into ur hard drive,if you stay in ph, check signature

God is wonderful

Great research

Lol. Fake story

They are always finding the ark

Many ships have capsized in the annals of history and sunken to the depth of the ocean, so how sure are they it is that particular ark?

If you say carbon dating to the age ark sunk, was man not sailing some years before the ark sunk, so how will you make the difference? It's not as if the full and exact measurement of the ark remains till date to isolate it from another.

Please there's no certainty thats the ark

Scientists are confused stags.

I long for the day they’d discover the Garden of Eden
Liars everywhere. How possible is it ?? After the ice age, a lot of things were destroyed. I won’t be surprised if they tell me Lot’s wife statue is still in tact
