Has NOAH'S ARCH been found?

Answer 1

No the arch has been filled, but the ark is -
According to Abrahamic tradition, Noah's Ark was a vessel built at God's command to save Noah, his family, and a core stock of the world's animals from the Great Flood. The story is contained in the Hebrew Torah, Christian Old Testament's book of Genesis, chapters 6 to 9 and in the Quran.

According to the documentary hypothesis, the Ark story told in Genesis may represent several originally quasi-independent sources, and the process of composition over many centuries may help to explain apparent confusion and repetition in the text.Many Orthodox Jews and Christians reject this hypothesis, holding that the Ark story is part of human history.

The Ark story told in Genesis has parallels in the Sumerian myth of Ziusudra, which tells how Ziusudra was warned by the gods to build a vessel in which to escape a flood which would destroy mankind. Less exact parallels are found in other cultures from around the world. Indeed, the deluge story is one of the most common folk stories throughout the world.

Noah's story has been subject to extensive elaborations in the various Abrahamic traditions, mingling theoretical solutions to practical problems (e.g. how Noah might have disposed of animal waste) with allegorical interpretations (e.g. the Ark as a precursor of the Church, offering salvation to mankind).

By the beginning of the 19th century, the growth of geology and biogeography as sciences meant that few natural historians felt able to justify a literal interpretation of the Ark story.Nevertheless, Biblical literalists continue to explore the region of the mountains of Ararat, (modern-day Turkey) where Genesis 8:4 says Noah's Ark came to rest.

Answer 2

Arch is like the St. Louis Arch its curved and usually in a town entranceway.
If your talking about the wooden ARK of Noah that landed on Mt Ararat they did see it from the air but the Turks never let them get up there until what was left was an impression as to the size of the boat in mud and bits right type of wood the ark had been originally made.

Answer 3

For years some people believed that a shape on Mount Ararat was the Ark, but recent satellite photographs have shown that the shape is different from other angles, and is probably a rock outcropping. Also, the Bible referred to the Ark landing in the mountains of Ararat, not on Mount Ararat, so that broadens the scope of the search quite a bit, even if it could still be found.

Most likely, the Ark can't be found. Though there might be some rusted metal left, most likely the wood it was made from rotted away centuries ago.

Answer 4

I have heard that it has been found. I even saw an aerial photograph but it was hard to tell if it was Noah's Ark simply b/c I have never seen Noah's Ark. However. I believe it is possible it still exists. It could be fossilized. I know that in archeology it is not uncommon to find wooden "structures of old" preserved somehow.

Answer 5

Hello Rabea, although I believe that Noah truly existed and is a true story I do not think that the Ark would have survived this long because it was a totally wooden structure that must have rotted away by now.

Answer 6

No, yet that would not discourage Christians, Jews and Biblical cases scholars (lots of whom are secular). numerous the data helping Bible debts is, regrettably, in lands now ruled by "muslims". Turkey has forbidden searches for Noah's ark. Egypt has forbidden searches for most products. As has Syria and Iran.

Answer 7

I haven't read anything about Noah's "ARCH," but I know about Noah's "Ark." Even though I know it existed, I haven't heard anything about it being found.

Answer 8

If you mean Noahs ARK, then yes. Satillite images have put it's location to be on Mt. Ararat in modern day Turkey.

Back in the '50's a father and son were actually able to climb up to it, however, since that time, Turkish Govt. has forbidden climbers in that area.

Answer 9

did the animals pass under Noah's Arch before getting in the big boat?

boy, that Noah was busy. first, the largest wooden craft ever built (with primitive hand tools and no nails, no less) and then an arch too.

Answer 10

Last i knew he built an ark, not an arch. And neither have truly been found.
