The UK Sun is reporting today that Noah's Ark has been found in Turkey. Now please understand, I don't have a problem with the story of Noah's Ark, I just have a problem with it being found in Turkey. It may actually be there, but I remain skeptical.
Anyway. The remains of Noah's Ark are reported to have been found by a group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers 13,000 feet up on Mount Ararat. They claim that carbon dating places the wreckage at about 4,800 years old--about the time the ark was supposed to exist.
The Turkist government is applying for Ankara to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status in order to protect the site while a major archaeological dig will be undertaken to determine exactly what the site is.
As I said, I have no problem believing the story of Noah's Ark--I figure God can do pretty much anything he chooses to do--I just really have a hard time believing the wooden structure that was the ark survived almost 5,000 years. Stay tuned.
