It doesn't matter to me whether Noah's Ark is found or not. However, I am left wondering why photos of Mt.Ararat have been classified for so many years. Can anyone say, "information suppression"? Really, what is on Mt.Ararat that would be considered "classified"? The only answer that comes to my mind is that there are scientists and archeologists that do not want Noah's Ark found. I mean, how far would that set them and their theories back? We would see the world's best back pedalers in action.

Scientists who wish to suppress the truth to protect their theories don't deserve the title.

Iron? Meaning it was built during the Iron Age around 1300 BC.

Because the paranoid government drones are afraid of inciting the paranoid tinfoil hat wearing Area 51 crowd...

One begets the other...

" The only answer that comes to my mind is that there are scientists and archeologists that do not want Noah's Ark found. "

The most likely answer to come to my mind is that the level of detail in the photograph itself was what was classified- our technical ability.

It's a rock cliff face.

And Noah himself is on Mars, staring back at us...with his dead eyes.

When we continually hear that a license plate can be spotted from a satellite how much more detailed can anything get?

[opinionator]

That looks like Noah's submarine that was mentioned in one of the Dead Sea scrolls.

It's actually an anomaly of ice build-up in a freezer. That's an old french fry you're looking at.

Just guessing: Mt Ararat is in Turkey. Spying on an ally may prove embarrassing. There may be military bases, or whatever. Just guessing why things are suppressed in a satellite picture.

In 1990, when I was in Colorado Springs for a Board meeting for Nicky Cruz Outreach, I met Astronaut, Jim Irwin who lived next door to Nicky, and he was working with a group of people who found what they believed was the Ark and from what this sounds like, it was about this same area. I saw satellite pictures of it, and it definitely looks like it could have been a large boat. It's in ice, but you can make out the image. He was so excited to talk about it. The man walked on the moon, but he was more excited about the Ark than the moon. lol A few years later Jim died of a heart attack and I don't know what happened to their project. I guess it could even be some of these people that he was working with. He said the government of Turkey would not let anyone go up the mountain back then, so it sounds like nothing has changed.

Can't someone just fly a helicopter up there and see what the hell the deal is?

The largest climatic disaster in history wasn't caused by global warming, it was caused by global wickedness. When sin is removed from man's nature, so will every problem and disaster we currently deal with.

The Yetis know where it is.

But they're not allowed to say.

One possible source for the Flood story.

I saw a documentary about the Black Sea flood a few years back, very interesting but not the Biblical Flood.

http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2/4377news9-14-2000.asp

"The Bible says that Noah’s Flood was global, but the Black Sea flood was only local. The Bible says the Flood covered the highest mountains, but the Black Sea flood only rose by a few hundred feet. It didn’t even cover the mountains in the local area. The Bible says that Noah built an Ark, but the Black Sea flood needed no such vessel. The water came up so slowly that the residents would have walked to higher land. The Bible says that everyone outside the Ark drowned, but the Black Sea flood simply displaced the residents. The Bible says that only the animals and birds on the Ark survived, but not so with the local Black Sea flood. The Bible says there was forty days of rain, but the Black Sea flood had no rain. The Bible says that the Flood ended when the waters went down and land was dry. But the waters of the Black Sea flood have not gone down yet. The list could go on. There is absolutely no resemblance whatever between the Black Sea flood and the biblical Flood of Noah."

The IRON AGE has nothing to do with the discovery of Iron, it is called the IRON AGE because of the relationship of what countries are world powers compared to the prophecies in Daniel and what Nebudchannezer's dream was:

Gold = Babylon
Silver = medio-Persia
Bronze = Greece
Iron = Rome
