Has Noah's Ark Been Found on Turkish Mountaintop?

Published April 27, 2010

A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers say wooden remains they have discovered on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey are the remains of Noah's Ark.

The group claims that carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old, meaning they date to around the same time the ark was said to be afloat. Mt. Ararat has long been suspected as the final resting place of the craft by evangelicals and literalists hoping to validate biblical stories.

Has Noah's Ark Been Discovered?

A team of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers believe that they have found the remains of the Biblical artifact, Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat.

Yeung Wing-Cheung, from the Noah's Ark Ministries International research team that made the discovery, said: "It's not 100 percent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9 percent that this is it."

There have been several reported discoveries of the remains of Noah's Ark over the years, most notably a find by archaeologist Ron Wyatt in 1987. At the time, the Turkish government officially declared a national park around his find, a boat-shaped object stretched across the mountains of Ararat.

Nevertheless, the evangelical ministry remains convinced that the current find is in fact more likely to be the actual artifact, calling upon Dutch Ark researcher Gerrit Aalten to verify its legitimacy.

“The significance of this find is that for the first time in history the discovery of Noah’s Ark is well documented and revealed to the worldwide community,” Aalten said at a press conference announcing the find. Citing the many details that match historical accounts of the Ark, he believes it to be a legitimate archaeological discovery.

“There’s a tremendous amount of solid evidence that the structure found on Mount Ararat in Eastern Turkey is the legendary Ark of Noah,” said Aalten.

Representatives of Noah's Ark Ministries said the structure contained several compartments, some with wooden beams, that they believe were used to house animals.The group of evangelical archaeologists ruled out an established human settlement on the grounds none have ever been found above 11,000 feet in the vicinity, Yeung said.

During the press conference, team member Panda Lee described visiting the site. “In October 2008, I climbed the mountain with the Turkish team. At an elevation of more than 4,000 meters, I saw a structure built with plank-like timber. Each plank was about 8 inches wide. I could see tenons, proof of ancient construction predating the use of metal nails."

We walked about 100 meters to another site. I could see broken wood fragments embedded in a glacier, and some 20 meters long. I surveyed the landscape and found that the wooden structure was permanently covered by ice and volcanic rocks."

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.

The biblical story says that God decided to flood the Earth after seeing how corrupt it was. He then 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 ran aground.

They don't need to. It's already in the Bible and if you trace the chronology of events before and after the event of Noah's ark, you can come out with the date of 4,000 to 5,000 years ago.

The world is wasting alot of resources to dig here, dig there to prove the existence of God as if God is hiding underground. Want to find God and to see His existence - look upward to the sky and not under the ground. The countless stars and planets are testimonies of God's handiwork. Digging underground to find God...its a waste of resource!

come on..
why do you believe the bible is true? "coz it is the word of god"
why do you think the bible is the word of god? "coz it is infallible"
why do you think the bible is infalible? " coz it is the word of god"

it is a merry go round, the bible certifies itself as authentic. why need so many authors to write? why in so many bits and piece? is god really that incompetent to get the act together to talk directly to everyone instead? and need 4 councils to decide which books to add in or take out?

people stuck too many thumbs into this pie until it stink to high heavens.

judging from your comments, you belong to the dark ages, no need to explore, to study, to question, blind faith and ignorance rule your reality. we dont need another religious fanatic in this world.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

1) since Noah didn't travel to South America, Australia, etc etc..............how he save those animals there ?


2) how Noah put different animals back to their natural habitats all over the world ?




THE ARK..................would have to be as big as an entire country to house all the animals, food, water, etc etc............





please tell me....................HUMANS ARE NOT SO DUMB AS TO BELIEVE IN THIS TALL TALE ?????
