Guest HisG Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've always been interested in ancient history/archeology - however, I wonder what percentage of discoveries etc are false claims or partly false, for the purpose of upholding a particular archeologists belief system. Falsifying of anything alters things - eg:false archeological claims would alter history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has been proven at this time BUT the turkish govt wont let anyone over there to check it out. So it might or might not be there as far as I can tell. Even if it was there, those who believe do not need proof of the Lord. Those who do not believe likely wont accept that as proof either. It would be cool if its really there, but no one really knows at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HisG Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 You're right in the sense that we don't need that as proof the flood happened or that Noah existed etc. What I find fascinating, is that this "vessel" has iron workings in it - nails I think, which if my memory serves me correctly, would be impossible from a secular archelogical point of view - way too early in their eyes and also the wood that makes up the vessel hasn't any tree rings, possibly because the trees grew prior to rainfall. Quite interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite interesting. Â I wouldn't be too surprised if there were nails in the ark, if it were found. I've often wondered about what the world was like before the flood, especially the people. Can't help but wonder what an Edison, DaVinci, Watt, or some other genius could have done with a 900 or so year lifespan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falsifying of anything alters things - eg:false archeological claims would alter history. The person you really want to avoid is Ron Wyatt. He makes extraordinary claims, but none of them have been verified.  He claims to have found the Ark of the Coveannt under Golgotha, which is a complete hoax.  He claims to have recovered some of Jesus' blood from Golgotha as well. totally bogus.

His so called archaeology is quite poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
