Noah's Ark?

There's plenty of myths and theories out there as to where Noah's ark came to rest. But I just read a fascinating article complete with pictures and video of what is believed to be Noah's ark, discovered by one of the most fascinating modern-day explorers that I know of, Dr. Bob Cornuke.

Led by explorer, adventurer, and featured Worldview Weekend speaker Dr. Bob Cornuke, a fourteen man crew returned this week from Iran bearing stunning evidence that theirs is the long-anticipated even coveted discovery of the remains of Noah’s Ark.

Some time ago I read and was absolutely fascinated by Dr. Cornuke's book, In Search of the Mountain of God. He goes into explicit detail of his quest for Mt. Sinai, and the stunning evidence he found. Complete with incredible photographs and a captivating account of the dangers he and his pal faced out there in a hostile Arab dessert.

He is an explorer that literally uses the Bible as his map-work. It's so incredible to see what he has uncovered.

Here's a description of what he and his crew believe to be Noah's Ark.

The unusual object is perched on a slope 13,120 feet above sea level. After studying the discovery site, Bonnema observed, “These beams not only look like petrified wood, they are so impressive that they look like real wood—this is an amazing discovery that may be the oldest shipwreck in recorded history.”

It would be really neat if it was!

I hope it is, but I have my doubts.

Zachary, I'd be interested to hear what your doubts are. I'm not 100% on it either, but it seems logical. Reading Cornuke's book on his discovery of Mount Sinai, I was very impressed with how carefully he studied Scripture and drew his conclusions from that and not all the myths out there. I'm looking forward to seeing what transpires in this case.

WOW! That sounds SO interesting! I believe we should study and find out as much as we can about God and biblical history...that will help us draw closer to God!

Brittney,

I'm looking forward to what happens with this too.

Although I haven't read Cornuke's book, I was impressed with how discerning he was as he went into this.

I have decided to write a post outlining my views on this. You can read it Here
