The alleged Noah’s Ark had nearly all major TV channels and websites writing of it’s discovery and some even saying, it is one of the greatest discovery by man if proven.
Despite the team consisting of Chinese Evangelical Christian researchers and Turkish explorers, bringing specimens consisting of ropes, nails and pieces of wood from the Ark experts and the public were spectacle of the finding as not enough images or a video of the exploration were produced.
However recently a Video has been posted on News Channels and popular video sharing websites of the exploration at mount Ararat (Agri Mountain) which was released by the Noah’s Ark Ministries International.
The specimens which were brought back from the alleged wresting spot of the Ark had already been carbon dated to 4,800 years ago which had put hopes up that the finding was indeed the famous Ark which has great religious significance.
The new video according to some experts is just a way for the team to prove that they were not hoaxing the finding as so many people had believed.
The video posted by the explorers is also allegedly the third time the team have actually been to the site which they are keeping the location as a secret. The team have said that they had initially found the site in 2007, returned back to it in 2008, and then returned to the site once more in October 2009 but this time with a film crew.
Panda Lee a member of the Noah’s Ark Ministries International spoke of the 2008 visit and said “I saw a structure built with plank-like timber, each plank was about eight inches wide. I could see tenons, proof of ancient construction predating the use of metal nails,”
“I could see broken wood fragments embedded in a glacier, and some 20 metres long. I surveyed the landscape and found that the wooden structure was permanently covered by ice and volcanic rocks.”
Some experts also said that the finding was probably that of a human settlement and though it is a significant find, it is not the remains of the famous Ark. This thought was fiercely denied by the explorers and said “we have never found a human settlement above 3,500 meters in the history of mankind, the Ark was at 4,000 meters”.
But despite all the rumours and questions surrounding the find, religious websites were quick to react to the finding, and haled it a miracle.
The find has also left the Turkish government buzzing, with tourism already on the up due to the publicity the country has received by the alleged finding. The Turkish government is already applying for a UNESCO World Heritage site for the find. It was also announced that a major archaeological dig will be carried out at mount Ararat.
According to religious faiths including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and many other, Noah was ordered by God to build a ship to house his family, himself and the world’s animals from a huge flood which was to perish earth. It is then believed that when the waters receded, the Ark rested at a mountain.
Man-fai Yuen, who is one of the researchers, said “The structure is partitioned into different spaces, we believe that the wooden structure we entered is the same structure recorded in historical accounts and the same ancient boat indicated by the locals.”
However Dr. Randall Price, a former member of the group who found the alleged Ark has cast great doubt on the finding. Dr. Price said “If the world wants to think this is a wonderful discovery, that’s fine. My problem is that, in the end, proper analysis may show this to be a hoax and negatively reflect how gullible Christians can be,”
Turkish website however, have hailed the finding as a great hoax as, an image of the alleged Ark has a spider web on it which scientists say is impossible as spiders cannot live in those temperatures and altitude.

Judy Moore said it best… God is allowing true past events to be revealed to bring truth out and strength the believers’ faith and distinguish between people who choose to deny God and people who choose to stand up for God and acknowledge Him before men… Jesus I love you and thank you for sacrificing your life so I can live eternally…
If I were on board with Noah and landed on Mount Agri Dagri or else, I’d rather using the ship construction for building a big house for 80 people and a masjid . Why should Noah left the ship empty behind him and burried by mud? no he is not. Noah clever enough to use the ship material for survive on the new land.
Stupid News,…uneducated reader will believe this is true but not for me….this is Hoax, can u see the web spider hanging there?on 4000 meter above sea level?? u kidding me man..wake up and wash your body, u should re-fresh your brain.
Have you considered when nails were first invented/used? Noah’s Ark was a ship. So when were metal nails first used in ship construction? If there are nails in this ‘find’ then it is either much much later in date or the hoaxers are not very good at their job.
I believe the flood happened. This sounds very intriguing.
The fact that there was flood and also Noah made the ark does not gurantee this finding to tell us this what Noah made– we need more evidence to prove– am afraid we can be taken just by faith and agree on things that are not true– In acient time people believed on Sun and even now people have different believes — so we should avoid taken by a mere faith and forget science to help us prove
Granted that the spider photo itself is not a hoax, during the summers of >4000 yrs, no doubt many of which had been very mild where life forms creep up the mountain along with different grasses. The ark would be a pocket of warmth just as a mountain hut is for us. After the earth engulfing deluge of Noah, the ice-ages would not have occurred as yet. The pre-flood green house effect was removed during the cataclysmic atmospheric event allowing the atmosphere to warm first but then cool rapidly. This is why we find Mammoths in Siberia, snap frozen with food still in their mouths
I don’t understand how Christians can be excited by the potential find of Noah’s ark.
” look everybody here is proof that a being of so called higher intelligence, without a second thought wiped out and killed potentially millions of innocent men women , children and animals. and let one guy sort out the mess. You all must be so proud of yourselves for worshipping such a deity. All religions are just a hand hold for the weak of mind and those that have no faith in themselves. get a life and use a little logic.Man built boat, boat used in flood,saves himself and his farm animals, boat ended up on a mountain side,they survived, smart man. no god needed.
Very exciting!!!
Its definitely a structure preserved so its an honest find. If all details line up no one can control that or try to manipulate the facts. Time will soon tell! If there is a God. Than he would reveal it!
By faith, I know a world-wide flood occured. There’s plenty of evidence all over. You’re hanging with a very narrow croud of scientists. On the other hand, just because settlements have not been found above 3,500 meters doesn’t mean this cannot be the first settlement above 4,000. Right? Stay open. Its a terrific find either way. Ark or dwellings.
I don’t know about the alledged “spider”. I would need to enlarge that photo.
God’s peace and grace be with you. shavon

The Scientist who said spiders cannot live at that altitude apparently doesn’t know about Jumping spiders – shows that a lot of people who are being quoted are talking off the top of their head – Jumping spiders live in a variety of habitats. Tropical forests harbor the most species, but they are also found in temperate forests, scrub lands, deserts, intertidal zones, and even mountains. Euophrys omnisuperstes is a species reported to have been collected at the highest elevation, on the slopes of Mount Everest.[4]
Jumping spiders are generally recognized by their eye pattern.
The Ark has been discovered on Ararat for Millenia’s before. Marco Polo wrote of it, the Kazar’s believed this to be true, Anyone who doubts should doubt every book in history. Josephus knew of the Ark, the indigenous peoples of the region believe it and have known of the Ark their whole history, why should anyone doubt the discovery? although it will be hard to find the whole ark as it is broken in sections because of earthquakes in the region and has been moving with the glacier its resting in.
Believe- It’s 100% True, anyone who dose not believe this is possible must have never seen footage of a nuke blowing up! Nuke’s have been detonated on our earth, something the size of a VW Bug, blowing up Hiroshima, and you doubt that the world was ever flooded? Ive seen a vessel fly into Space, and you think a boat could not have been built 5100 years ago? You think we evolved? We were always intelligent life. Man was always able to create. You forget, We were made by God, in God’s image, and we have the knowledge of good and evil, we can create! We exist, why is it so hard to believe in a miracle, when life itself is a miracle.
I knew a man in the 1970s who was looking for the ark. They knew it was in the mountains of Ararat. More recently with satellite imaging it could be seen in the ice. It IS the ark, and a warning to the world God is about to judge the world again, this time with fire. Laugh if you want while you can. The signs are all about us and the Bible is very clear. What more could God do. He said that even if one rose from the dead, they would not believe. One did rise from the dead 2000 years ago. Israel is a nation again. We are in the last days.
Google 2800 BC. What you get is a series of timelines which show the world history uninterrupted from Asia to the Atlantic Ocean. The world was not flooded. The story of the Ark is an allegory adopted by numerous civilizations. Why must it be literal to convey its message?
who besides a jealous Randall Price even says definitively that is even a spider web in the first place. Why is Randall Price the word concerning a hoax. He’s knows for a fact that 2 additiona sites were exmined that he was not present at. He left is 2008-where’s his evidence?
