Did they ever find remnants of Noah's ark ?

Answer 1

As I recall they supposedly did on mount Ararat.

Answer 2

Science News of June 13, 1970, stated: “In 1955, Fernand Navarra, a French industrialist and amateur explorer, found on Mt. Ararat in eastern Turkey an estimated 50 tons of wood buried in the finger of a glacial ice pack. The site of the find is 14,000 feet high, several thousand feet above the tree line and over 300 miles from the nearest trees of any size. . . . Navarra has claimed that the artifact is a piece of the Biblical Ark of Noah.”

Some estimated that the wood was about 4,000 to 5,000 years old. However, other findings using radiocarbon measurement yielded more recent figures, although these could have been influenced by contamination of the wood with carbon-14 more recently formed in the upper atmosphere and brought down in rain and snow.

Then, in 1969, more wood was found near the 1955 site. Further excavation was to have taken place in the summer of 1970 under the direction of Search Foundation, Inc. However, Turkey barred the expedition from access to Mt. Ararat, citing “security reasons.” Attempts were made to reverse this decision.

This is not the first claim of a possible finding of the Ark. There have been many sensational reports in past centuries. Some claim to have seen a ship. Others, the prow of a ship. Another report says that an investigating team found and examined several rooms in a boatlike structure. But it was not possible to follow up on those claims and establish them beyond doubt.

Answer 3

Claims of finding the remnants of Noah's ark go way, way back in history. Josephus once wrote that the Armenians living at the base of Mt. Ararat built an economy out of going up the mountain and bringing down pieces of the ark (chunks of the wood) and selling them to tourists.

The claims of discovery are mostly very blurred pictures and uncorroborated sightings. They are very reminiscent of Sasquatch stories--very hard to believe without some wishful thinking being involved.

(My own belief is that the ark never went north at all. It was obviously built in southern Iraq, the place where blue-water vessels waterproofed with bitumen were already in production, and after the flood it landed somewhere on the west coast of Iran, called the Mountains of Arata by Sumerians--Har Arata in Hebrew, if you forget about grammar.)

Answer 4

I don't believe the story anyhow as I know from fact that 2 of every species of living things on this planet weighs in the area of 100 million tons.

Answer 5

Never! And then there is the little dispute of scientific disbelief for a comparable flood for that time span .the earth's crust doesn't lie.
I would just as soon bet on an urban legend first .

Answer 6

No.
All remnants have thus far proved to be hoaxes, hearsay, or rock formations.
