Does Anyone Know Where Noahs Ark Is, Please Do Tell?

Question

One explorer said that he had found it in Iran in some Mountainous rock formations and now there is a big argument about it! I dont know what to say about it really, buggered if I know where it is.

I care "wonder" thats why I asked the question!

Thankyou preacher t, yes I know the Ararat Mountains are in Turkey,but there are now discussions saying that part of the range does also go over to what is modern day Iran ? the plot gets thicker really ! thankyou !

Sorry Tyler, I dont believe thats a tale at all, I have a picture of the Ark in the Flood on my Wall at home,thats why I asked the question.

Elize, if it is a symbolic story, what was George Hagopian standing on in 1902 and 1904 up there in Mount Ararat ? and why does the Government of the region not permit any one from outside to investigate, do they know something that the rest of the world does not and they want to keep it that way ?

Thankyou Bill, this is one of my lifes goals to get answers to this question! It interests me a whole lot.

Answer 1

Since the 19th century, there have been numerous attempts to find the ark on the mountains of Ararat. These mountains have two prominent peaks, one 16,950 feet high and the other 12,840 feet. The higher of the two is perpetually covered by snow. Because of the climatic changes that followed the Flood, the ark would soon have been buried by snow. Some investigators firmly believe that the ark is still there, buried deep in a glacier. They claim that there have been periods when the ice melted sufficiently to permit part of the ark to be exposed temporarily.

The book In Search of Noah’s Ark quotes George Hagopian, an Armenian, who claimed that he climbed Mount Ararat and saw the ark in 1902 and again in 1904. On the first visit, he said, he actually climbed on top of the ark. “I stood up straight and looked all over the ship. It was long. The height was about forty feet.” Regarding his observation on his subsequent visit, he said: “I didn’t see any real curves. It was unlike any other boat I have ever seen. It looked more like a flat-bottomed barge.”

From 1952 to 1969, Fernand Navarra made four efforts to find evidence of the ark. On his third trip to Mount Ararat, he worked his way to the bottom of a crevasse in a glacier, where he found a piece of black wood embedded in the ice. “It must have been very long,” he said, “and perhaps still attached to other parts of the ship’s framework. I could only cut along the grain until I split off a piece about five feet long.”

Professor Richard Bliss, one of several experts who examined the wood, said: “The Navarra wood sample is a structural beam and impregnated with bituminous pitch. It has mortise and tenon joints. And it’s definitely hand-hewn and squared.” The estimated age of the wood was set at about four or five thousand years.

Although efforts have been made to find the ark on Mount Ararat, the definite proof that it was used to survive a cataclysmic deluge exists in the written record of that event in the Bible book of Genesis.

The ark had a carrying capacity equal to that of 10 freight trains of about 25 American boxcars each!

While the basic plans and dimensions were provided by God, some architectural ability must doubtless be attributed to Noah as the human director of works. The ark was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high 437 ft 6 in. × 72 ft 11 in. × 43 ft 9 in.). It could have had about (2.2 acres) of floor space. The three floors plus the wide roof span probably required, in addition to the ‘compartment’ divisions, the use of some wooden columns and beams to support the weight, as well as to give the structure necessary stability. Although the ark was caulked with tar, there would also be need for careful fitting of the timbers to ensure a reasonably watertight construction.

Answer 2

Genesis 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

The Ararat mountians are not a single mountain but a mountain range. There have been many explorations as much as possible in search of Noah's ark. It has never been found. There have been claims of people spotting parts of the ark but they have never been confirmed. Is it possible people have spotted it ? Certainly ... most of the peaks of the Ararat mountains are covered in a thick blanket of snow all the time which would make searching for the Ark very difficult. The Ararat mountains however are not in Iran..... they are in Turkey

Hope this is helpful. God bless

Answer 3

Supposedly on Mt. Ararat in Turkey.

Answer 4

You'll find thousands of shipwrecks, including in mountainous regions, but none of them is an Ark, let alone Noah's. Its a tale and a tall one if I may add.

Answer 5

IF there was such a thing, none of the wood would have survived over the centuries. That mountainous rock formation has been proven to be just that... a rock formation.

Answer 6

.Not 100 % sure where it is, but it will one day be found. When God told Noah to pitch the boat, God told him to pitch the boat on both the outside and the inside. Normally, when you waterproof a boat, you put the pitch only on the outside. Only reason why you would put pitch on both sides would be to preserve the wood. I think God told Noah to pitch both sides so it will last until it is discovered. My best guess, Mt Ararat.

Answer 7

Mt. Ararat, the remains are there, the but the government refuses to let us tamper with it.

Answer 8

they say it settled on Mt Ararat. but the gov. won't let in anyone in to find out for sure...IT FIGURES..........

Answer 9

Answer 10

who cares
