The Search For Noah's Ark
The Parent Company ^ | Kelly L. Segraves

Posted on 07/19/2007 10:57:32 AM PDT by Fennie

The first sightings of the ark in more modern times took place in 1856 when a group of English scientists climbed the mountain to search for the Ark. They asked a young Armenian boy, Haji Yearman, and his father to guide them up the mountain and show them the ark of Noah. Haji Yearman and his father did just that!

This upset the scientists, because their object was to prove that the ark was not there. These scientists were atheists, and they tried to burn the ark. They said it would not burn, so they tried to destroy it, but they could not.

Then they treatened Haji Yearman and his father with persecution if they ever told of this expedition. The scientists themselves took a death oath that they would never disclose their findings of the ark.

After the death of Haji Yearman, Mr. Williams moved to Brockton, Massachusetts, where he read a newspaper account telling of an English scientist who on his death bed stated that as a young man in 1856 he and two other scientist climbed the mountain of Ararat and saw the ark of Noah. The article states that the other two scientists had died but that this gentleman was troubled because they threatened a young Armenian boy and his father with persecution, and he wanted to get this off his chest before he died. The two accounts coincide, authenticating the expedition which took place -- and the finding of the ark in 1856...

Were you there? Did you personally interview the “scientists” and the father & son to verify their reports? Have you ever been to Ararat to search for yourself? If not, your narrow-mindedness has run amock. Personally, I’m not sure what’s true about the ark, but I do believe in the possibility it exists, maybe at Ararat; I’m not closed minded to the idea.

Nice try yourself. The point I am making is..and I know this will come as a shock to you: Just because someone says something doesn't make it so!

But you miss the point, which is not surprising! How do you know there wasn't a Lilith in the Garden of Eden? Did you talk to Adam? Have you ever been to The Garden of Eden? Personally, I already know there was no Lilith there, I believe your narrow-mindedness has run amok!

More to the point...even though many historical places did at one time exist I know for a fact that they no longer do. The Colossus of Rhodes doesn't exist AND I DO NOT NEED TO GO THERE TO PROVE IT.

Can you even prove these "Scientist" existed? This all rings of Internet urban legend to me. There are many things I do not need to see to know they aren't there. You are the one being narrow minded by believing anything you hear then demanding someone prove it is NOT true. That's standing science on it's head. And before you go off on this being a matter of faith let me explain to you that faith has nothing to do with it. I take it as a matter of faith that the flood of Noah's day happened. I take it as a matter of faith that God commanded Noah to build the Ark that he did. I do not take it a matter of faith that a wooden boat has survived 6000 years on an environmentally brutal and earthquake prone mountain top.

“and in this photo - it appears to be looking directly down on an object (mid-left)that would look like the above sketch from above:”

I see a raving mid-left. I am not saying that it is NOT there, I don’t know. I’m saying that I don’t see it.

If all of these older expeditions found the ark and they went inside it and even photographed it (where are those photographs anyway?), doesn’t it seem that somebody mounting a modern expedition with all the science at our disposal now would have found the darn thing?

I do NOT have “contempt for others who do not share my appreciation for BS”!!

I do on the other hand have contempt for you. :o)
Have a nice day.

Even though Fasold repudiated this as being the Ark, it's a pretty cool artifact.

that is a different ‘site’ than the ararat anomaly..it is supposedly half under ice-broken in half ON the mountain, not a rock formation looking like a boat a bit near the mountains..

It's not a "rock formation". It's definitely an artifact and has been assayed by ground penetrating radar and magnetometers. The fact that it is not on "Ararat" means nothing. It is in the Ararat range and there's nothing more specific than than mentioned in the Biblical account.

With all of the satellites taking high definition photos of the earth, you might think that someone would have spotted something strange in the mountains.

C’mon man, Algore built the ark! Right before he got the idea to invent the internet.

fine then its an artifact; yet I think the more likely site of the Ark is Ararat itself..more probable!

More probable? Since the waters had been receding for quite a while before the ark "came to rest on the mountains of Ararat", it's more likely to have come to rest on the lower reaches of the Ararat range than on the top of the largest and tallest volcano in Turkey.
