Again, Noah’s Ark has been found! Noah’s Ark is being claimed to have been found by a group of Chinese and Turkish evangelists after finding a structure that might have carried livestock. The intrepid explorers are keeping the site secret, but they told Hong Kong correspondents of Agence France Presse (AFP) that carbon dating proves their discovery is 4,800 years old–about the time, they say, Noah’s Ark set sail.

Noah’s Ark found … honest

In 2003 in Hong Kong was formed the Noah’s Ark Ministries International that claims “Noah’s Ark found”. The South China Morning Post said the expedition is a joint effort between Hong Kong-based Media Evangelism, Noah’s Ark Ministry International and the Turkish government. Turkish officials will ask the central government in Ankara to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status so the site can be protected and pave the way for a major archaeological dig. No word on paying for it. Perhaps they need a loan.

Noah’s Ark dimensions

The dimensions of Noah’s Ark that are in the Bible have led to many different expeditions over the centuries to find the vessel in which Noah, under orders from God, gathered mating pairs of all the world’s animals in a boat. 300 cubits by 50 cubits is what the Ark dimensions measure. The cubit is a measurement used anciently and is said to be the length of a forearm. We’ll say a forearm is about 20 inches long. The ark would now be 500 feet long by 83 feet wide. The world has about 5,416 species of mammals alone. Fitting at least 11,000 animals onto a vessel that ridiculously small would have been an act of God. The bugs, plants, and amphibians would have had to fend for themselves. Of course, clams, lobsters and fishes would have been just fine.

Noah’s Ark being found timeline

Noah’s Ark found? The explorers claim that their carbon dating dates their discovery at 4,800 years old, lead Yeung Wing-cheung (not to be confused with 1980s one-hit wonder Wang Chung) to tell the AFP, “It’s not 100 percent that it is Noah’s Ark, but we think it is 99.9 percent that this is it.” Unfortunately, a review of reality is given by the sliver of doubt in Wing-cheung’s mind. Biblical legend says God sent a flood to destroy a human race overcome with sin and depravity. Apparently the flood wreaked havoc while large civilizations in China, Egypt, and Greece got a free pass. Or maybe they just used instant cash to appease the almighty.

In Turkey Noah’s Ark was found again

A headline that has been seen before is Noah’s Ark found in Turkey. One of today’s most enduring claims of Noah’s Ark found concerns the “Durupinar site” about 18 miles south of the Greater Ararat summit. The Durupinar site is a large rock formation that looks like a boat. Even though geologists, doing their science, have determined that it is a natural rock formation, tourists still flock to the site and Wyatt’s Ark Discovery Institute continues to try and make some money now on the idea.

Kidding about finding Noah’s Ark!

The most recent expedition claiming Noah’s Ark is found joins a long list of hopefuls. The media can’t resist the temptation as usual. One of the latest and biggest hoodwinking happened in 1993, when CBS aired a tabloid-flavored special entitled “The Incredible Discovery of Noah’s Ark.” The star of the show turned out to be an actor named George Jammal, who later admitted the “sacred wood” from the ark was taken from railroad tracks in Long Beach, Calif., and cured with various sauces in an oven.
