"Would a modern aircraft carrier be large enough to hold two of every species of animal on the Earth?"

IT would if they were freeze dried!

[Ichneumon]

I can see how people in that area would claim it is the area the Ark landed.

You mean aside from the motivation to drum up tourist dollars?

[Young Werther]

Just a few weeks ago, for example, NASA scientists utilizing space- and aircraft-based remote sensing hardware and techniques uncovered Maya ruins hidden in the rainforests of Central America for more than 1,000 years.

But those ruins were first discovered and photographed by Charles Lindbergh!

"built more than 4000 years ago"
Time line is more like 13000 years ago as evidence by Sumerian writings and archaeological digs in Iraq and other middle east places

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Nope, it is startling to see the ground slope down to the river that separates Turkey from Armenia and see how a person would think it was the highest point on earth.
I doubt that Armenia gets very much tourist money from a mountain in Turkey.

And: Sun Pictures and the Noah's Ark Hoax

Didn't this film get released about 1976? I saw it then and thought it was "hokey". I also believe Sun released a film about 1970 on Bigfoot, running with another film called Couger Country.

They would come into an area and rent (4 walling it is called) a theater for one day to run the film, each day in a different town.
Their advertisements were a hoot with a fast talking salesman trying to name all the dates and theaters in just a few seconds.

So you are saying the Bible is incorrect?

Here's another anomoly in the Mt Ararat area.

Well put!

[texianyankee]

Noah's ark was made from gopherwood, right? Any gopher trees still around?

Someone needs to hike up to that anomaly & look for some gopherwood.

"Would a modern aircraft carrier be large enough to hold two of every species of animal on the Earth?"

AFTER the flood - certainly!
<grin>

[fso301]

That's not the ark. A glacier would chew up a boat and eventually spit out little pieces.

[fella]

Has anybody Google Earth'd this?

[From many - one.]

Is it just me or does it general shape look vaguely like a Star of David?

[stuartcr]

That makes more sense than anything else, especially since any wood he found, would be really wet. Probably roasted up one of those tasty animals that had been giving him problems on the voyage.

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

exactly, who knows what that thing is...

all the proof I need is written in the word of the Lord...

[Conan the Librarian]

People might claim that the ark landed there, but, the Bible does not. The Bible says that the Ark landed in the "Mountains of Ararat". That could be any mountain within 100 miles of Mt Ararat. These explorers need to read the Bible FIRST then explore.

[UCANSEE2]

Yeah, but who can remember Gilgamesh.

Noah is so much easier and sounds better.

The real question is whose boat was bigger?

[ops33]

Exactly. There was a story of a British passenger plane that crashed in the Andes mountains onto a glacier shortly after WW 2. Fifty years later the glacier had moved the wreckage down the slope to where the glacial ice was melting and out popped the wreckage.

It's a little known fact that Noah actually had 4 sons. Ham, Shem, Japeth and Clarence (Birdseye). 8^)
