Discovery of Noah's Ark in Iran

[BibleArcheology]

Ok so let's say they found "Noah's Ark" or what is left of it.....so what??

I doubt very seriously Noah scratched his name in the side of it or left a note that says "Noah Wuz Here". So at best all they will be able to say is we found this boat or what we think are the remains of a boat but there is absolutely no way to say Noah and his family and thousands of animals were ever inside of this thing.

I'd much rather keep my focus on the here and now and how I can serve God today than try and relive the past.

Noah's didn't have to scratch his name on a 515ft boat at the 6300 ft above sea level in the Armenian mountains just to prove to you that it's Noah's Ark. If you don't get it nothing will. Additionally there was an inscription on pottery found by Dr William Shea, right by the Ark, that says Noah on it. If that's not enough then what else is needed?

This story has been circulating off and on for decades.

Call it a story that circulates off an on and that means you can discard it?

The pattern of iron means that you are personally confronted with evidence that you have to give an explanation for. And if you don't you are evading it.

Okay, so not everyone is as crazy as I am over historical artifacts.

Does anyone know what became of this? Is there further info. available?

You have to admit it is interesting..

what is a big old boat doing way up on the top of a mountain?

I hope they do find more on it ...we shall see..

Noah's Ark has been found. I was there.

I believe that the Ark was built and came to rest somewhere after the Flood....I don't see how this video proves that it is in this location though. Logically, it's safe to assume that it would have rotted away during the 4000 years since it was abandoned. Maybe only the iron nails would be left?

I don't think we can "prove" or disprove anything like this definitively, but it sure does have a "cool" factor in there for me. I like puzzles.

I don't see why the Ark would have had 'iron nails' unless I have missed a scripture...it could have been entirely of wood, with wooden pegs. Also when it came to rest it is conceivable that the wood did not go to waste, and that as the population grew they used the wood to build their homes.

Also the idea of the Ark being high up and susceptible to extreme cold does not necessarily hold true, because the Ark might better have rested in a lower part of the mountain region of what was in that time called Ararat...eg the foot-hills.

Another thing that is also possible would be there were other vessels built by man before the flood, and when the waters raged, these could have sunk and been deposited over mountainous areas in different places...the difference between their vessels and Noahs was that the L-rd supernaturally sealed the Ark which was specifically built to His specifications. (Jesus was a carpenter's son)

In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.
