Formation found on mount arrarat

[INSTINCT]

i found this picture at a scientific site , it is purported to be the fossilized remains of noahs ark, as you see it here is sits in a hardend mud flow on the slopes of mount arrarat , and amazingly
it has been measured to exactly match the biblical measurements of the ark in width and length , scientists have performed side scan sonar on this anomally , and have been able to plot out rib timbers and decking at even intervals ,this makes this formation not naturally occuring, so here we have an ancient boat like formation on the lower slopes of mount arrarat, and shockingly huge hand hewn stones were found nearby the formation ,and are beleived to be anchor stones.

heres the pic and below it the result of side scan sonar results , that when reconstructed from the data reveal the keel and timbers of the bottom of a huge boat , fossilized .

here are the drawn up dimensions that are overlayed on to the fromation , based on the measurements taken at the location 160ft...a.k.a 300 biblical cubits.

there were several stone alters strewn about around the location , some are of later years but 1 or 2 are dated as extremely old rock compilations and non naturally occurring formations,these findings are the result of a 1960 time life ariel photo of mount arrarat .

i did a google earth search and the shape is there , and the archeologist visitor center is nearby. the google earth co-ordinates are at the bottom.

Of course those who are of the faith have believed this all along.  Thank you so much for this very valuable piece of information!  We were just talking about this today as a matter of fact!

If science can prove things like this, people just have to lean toward the infalliable truths of the Word of God.  Man Instinct this is awesome.  Now find chariot wheels, swords, spears, horse tack, brass, shields etc in the bottom of the Red Sea for me!  God did provide a way of saftey for Noah and his family.  God did provide a way of saftey from the Government of the Egyptians and their army.  Believe me, the Lord Jesus is providing a way of saftey for the people of this time also from the World Government that is almost upon us.

If you don't know Jesus, and don't have Him in your heart and in your life, you could be found as it were, at the bottom of the Red Sea too.  Lord knows I want to be on the other side with Moses and the victors looking over that Red Sea as it crashes in on the enemy!

More Instinct More!  You have me pumped brother!  Woooohoooo!

i find it funny that , A , lots and lots of imperical evidence suggests a wooden boat 160 foot long is fossilized on mount arrarat.! and nothing is said in the news ,nor is it prime time history channel material?.

neither do evolutionists have anything to say, and silence from the world view.   without jumping to conclutions if there is mounting evidence of a huge BOAT !, on top of a mountain range, dont you think it might be time to do some fact finding , tv shows are always casting doubt on the biblical narrative , how come no words on this , what appears to be a damn close remains of the ARK they say didnt exist.

The September 5, 1960 `Life Magazine' article of the U-2 spy plane photos read like this:

"While routinely examining aerial photos of his country, a Turkish army captain suddenly gaped at the picture shown above. There, on a mountain 20 miles south of Mt. Ararat, the biblical landfall of Noah's Ark, was a boat-shaped form about 500 feet long.[1100] The captain passed on the word. Soon an expedition including American scientists set out for the site.

At 7,000 feet, in the midst of crevasses and landslide debris, the explorers found a clear, grassy area shaped like a ship and rimmed with steep, packed-earth sides. Its dimensions are close to those given in Genesis: 'The length of the ark shall be 300 cubits, the breadth of it 50 cubits, and the height of it 30 cubits,' that is, 450x75x45 feet. A quick two-day survey revealed no sign that the object was man made. Yet a scientist in the group says, `nothing in nature could create such a symmetrical shape. A thorough excavation may be made another year to solve the mystery'."

The splayed, 186 foot wide remains of the `Nu'hun Gemisi', Turkish for `Noah's Ship', allowed Wyatt to calculate that the ship would have measured almost 86 feet wide, 51 ½ feet high and 515 feet long. Map of the Ark location Not until 1977 was he able to travel to the site which is located near the village of `Dogubeyazit' near the Iranian border. On this visit, having obtained all necessary permits, he was shown several very large anchor stones several of which had 8 crosses carved in its surface. In a very ancient looking grave yard he was shown tombstones showing a simple rendition of a three story ship. He photographed these but when toward the end of his stay the locals tried to rob him and he had to flee he lost some of these images.

A very ancient house with thick stone walls and a spread out area of stone fences seemed to Ron that this could have been the site of Noah's post Flood home. In the summer they would have lived in tents and in the winter in a protective stone house as local people still do today. Not far behind the ruins of this `house' was a park like hilly area. In the middle of the hill he photographed a 12x12x12 foot, sqarish, altar like stone pile. The evidence in the surrounding rock fenced area showed signs of preparing animals for sacrifice, all of which Ron documented at the time.

While all indicators seem to confirm that the ark has been found, we do not know where it was constructed. Remains of what appears to be mineralized wood, even laminated wood with nails, have been found but its origin can hardly be determined. While hurricanes can be devastating, they are no match to the Noachian Flood which was driven more by simultaneous tectonic upheavals which wiped out any Pre-Flood landmarks.

The story of Noah and the Flood was kept alive as folklore in a number of cultures. In Sanskrit, we are told, the name `Manu' is very likely derived from Noah (MaNU=Noah?).

News of the 1978 earthquake in the area of the ark remains prompted Ron to return to the location in 1979. He found `evenly spaced indentations on the ark like object, which looked like decaying rib timbers.Noah's Altar - older image of the artificial rock assembly of great size and obviously made for people of larger stature. The earthquake had also cracked the remains of the ark from "stem to stern" and Ron, having government permits, was able to take samples from deep within. He also took samples of material outside of the object for comparison. Galbraith Labs in Knoxville, Tennessee tested the samples and determined the outside sample contained 1.88% carbon; but the one from inside the crack yielded a 4.95% carbon, an amount that was consistent with the presence of prior living matter, such as decayed or petrified wood. Hopefully, in time, more data will show this pattern better. The lab results also showed a surprisingly high iron content.

The Ballast from the Bottom of Noah's Ark

Quite a ways up the mountainside, Ron and his guide found the very interesting section of earth measuring 120 x 40 feet, which was rimmed by what appeared to be petrified wood, and within its perimeter was a massive amount of strange looking "rock". Noah's Altar - 2005 image of the altar rocks. This "rock" was quite heavy and tinged green in places, and therefore Ron believed it to be some type of metal. He had an idea as to what the wood perimeter was but perhaps a lab analysis of the "rock" material would help confirm his idea. Ron suspected that the `metallic (84.14% manganese dioxide)' remains above the site was actually a portion of the bottom of the ship which had sunk into the mud as the flood waters subsided. When the earth was dried, this section was firmly embedded in the ground, and as the ark was swept down the mountainside, this portion was ripped away.


below are images of the exposed fossilized wooden rib timbers and rivets, so wooden timbers evenly spaced not found in nature!, no evidence of past forrestation.

so why arent news reporters asking "what are wooden rib timbers doing on mount arrarat? 

[INSTINCT]

in this image you can quite clearly see the outlines of wooden timbers stacked side by side and are now in a fossilized state, the bow section points toward a twin peaked mountain, this is "lesser arrarat " so called because it is a couple thousand feet shorter than the main mount arrarat, and is approx 18 miles away , the entire crest is know as the mountains of arrarat, all around archeologists have found metalic like rivets and ballast material, stone alters, carved rock anchorstones, and the remains of an ancient town , beleived to have sprung up post landing.

Those are some great photos and it really looks like it could be an ark!  I hope that some scientist really jumps on this and it hits the headlines as it should be known.  Thanks for that info, i just am eating it up!
