'Noah's Ark' discovery '99.9 percent sure'

Video and pictures have emerged of a wooden structure a group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers claim is Noah's Ark.

The team say they recovered wooden specimens 4000m up Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey that carbon dating proved was 4800 years old, around the same time the ark is said to have been afloat.

"It's not 100 percent that it is Noah's Ark but we think it is 99.9 percent that this is it," Yeung Wing-cheung, a Hong Kong documentary filmmaker and member of the 15-strong team from Noah's Ark Ministries International told AFP.

The structure had several compartments, some with wooden beams, which were believed to house animals, he said.

The group of evangelical archaeologists ruled out an established human settlement on the grounds that one had never been found above 3500 metres in the vicinity, Yeung said.

Local Turkish officials will ask the central government in Ankara to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status so the site can be protected while a major archaeological dig is conducted, Yeung added.

The biblical story says God decided to flood the earth after seeing how corrupt it had become, and told Noah to build an ark and fill it with two of every animal species.

After the flood waters receded, the Bible says, the ark came to rest on a mountain. Many believe that Mount Ararat, the highest point in the region, is where the ark and her inhabitants came aground.

it's preposterous imo.

There are two arks. One is the biblical arc, and the other one is located in the Hathor temple in Mount Serabit

That makes two really ridiculous stories this week. This one and then Stephen Hawkings warning about how aliens are almost most definately out there and if we run into them they will probably deplete us of all our resources and take over our planet. Someone's been staying up late watching too much Independence Day.

 

[jarkler]

How is the aliens one ridiculous?

 

[scarybunny]

Yeah judging by how our planet is going, by the time we get the technology to travel into deep space we'll have to leave Earth because we'll have shitted all over it. So it makes sense for aliens to have done the same.



TBH, if you're out looking for an ark, you're probably going to think that every piece of old wood is part of it. You shouldn't be looking for evidence to suit your story, but see what story you can build out of the evidence.

How is the aliens one ridiculous?

The chance of intelligent life actually evolving is very low and then coupled with the fact you actually have to have a habital planet for it to evolve on makes it even more unlikely, and then the chance of them developing technology which allows them to travel from planet to planet sucking resources is even more unlikely. All this going in hand with the fact that we have absolutely no conclusive proof of any existance of aliens makes it ridiculous.

 

[scarybunny]

Dude.


There are so many planets out there that I really don't have a number to describe it. Loads of them will be made of similar materials to ours, a similar distance from a similar sun.

The odds are in the alien's favour.

I can't wait to meet them, hope they're friendly

you dumb fuck.

Bahahahaha Drake's equation I really do hope you are kidding. Assumptions x assumptions over and over = literally meaningless equation. And if that picture is you, I'd recommend a new hairdresser because you look like a dickhead.

 

[Cookie182]

Oh no they have found it...again?

Would this be the 100th time yet since, say, 1800?

 

[SnowFox]

Sorry, this story sounds like SPRIGGAN.

 

[Riet]

so there was water up to 4800m. Where did it go? Did god pull the plug?

Also probability of there being aliens is 1.

If stephen hawkins says there might be aliens, then so be it, he is a world renowned scientist and its no judgement that you internet kids thing that its a silly idea . I still don't think aliens exist though lol
