								Above - 
								probable Ark Shape |  
								| New evidence shows that there's a simple reason 
								why Noah's Ark, after 10's pf expeditions, has 
								not been found. Simply put: 
								
								"Because they have 
								been looking for the wrong shape and design". 
								Much new evidence shows that the true shape and 
								design of Noah's Ark was more like: "A giant 
								A-framed house-like roof, upon a chestlike 
								ship's hull".

								expeditions up to 2006, that have been looking 
								for a box-barge like ark.
 New evidence also shows that around the world as 
								Noah's descendants moved away from Mt Ararat 
								they left murals, paintings, rock carvings and 
								mosaics. They even printed coins with this ark 
								shape on it. In many of these memorials to the 
								ark, they are shown with animals coming out of 
								it.

											Could this be Noah's Mummified 
											remains? |  
											| 
											 |  
								
								Also, there's evidence to show that when the ark 
								is finally found, that the well preserved 
								mummified remains of Noah, his wife, and Shem 
								may be found entombed in the ark. Buried their 
								by Noah's descendents. |

									Isidore of Seville (560-636 A.D.) wrote: "Ararat is a mountain in 
			Armenia, where the historians testify that the Ark came to rest 
			after the Flood. So even to this day wood remains of it are to be 
			seen there". 
									
									
 
 
									
									What has to be realized is that after Noah's 
									Ark landed upon Mt. Ararat GOD gave man 
									command toworship only him.
 
 Most of Noah's descendants disobeyed GOD, 
									and worshiped things they should not. Noah 
									in the eyes of his descendants was
 worshiped as a The God of Eternal Life. 
									Because he was the last of mankind from his 
									time period to live according to scripture 
									to almost the age of 1,000 years.  Also 
									referred to as: "Last of The 
									Antediluvians".-(these were those of the 
									first among mankind like Adam and Eve, 
									Methuselah, and last Noah
 and his wife, who lived to be almost 1,000 
									years old).
 
									
									After Noah, people only lived to perhaps 120 years of age 
									at the most. The 
									archaeological finds known as The Epic of 
									Gilgamesh, and The Elba Tablets of Circa 
									scientifically / archaeologically verifies 
									this. Both dated around 2200 B.C., state that 
									Noah was worshiped as The God of Eternal 
									life.  Although Noah , his wife, and 
									Shem would not have approved of this, they 
									were worshiped anyway.
 |  
									| 1st 
									century A.D. Jewish-Roman historian Flavius 
									Josephus reported the ship was already being 
									torn down. "It is said that a portion of the 
									vessel still survives ... on the mountains 
									... and that persons carry off pieces of 
									[it], which they use as talismans."

														Has Noah's Ark finally 
														been found?or faked?
 |  
														| I dont know of any 
														expedition that ever 
														went looking for the ark 
														and didn't find it, 
														said archeologist Paul 
														Zimansky recently told
														National Geographic. |  
														| 
														 |  
														| Original claim: A group of Chinese and 
														Turkish evangelical 
														explorers say wooden 
														remains they have 
														discovered on Mount 
														Ararat in eastern Turkey 
														are the remains of 
														Noah's Ark. 
														The group claims that 
														carbon dating proves the 
														relics are 4,800 years 
														old, meaning they date 
														to around the same time 
														the ark was said to be 
														afloat. Read 
														about this at:
														
														
														
														FoxNews
 |  
														| Claim the discovery was 
														faked:
 Now, someone within the 
														Noahs Ark Ministries 
														camp is rubbishing the 
														discovery.
 
														
														
														Randall Price, an 
														evangelical Christian, 
														was apparently one of 
														the original 
														archeologists hired by 
														the group. He has been 
														circulating 
														
														an 
														email, 
														alleging that the wooden 
														beams were taken from a 
														site near the Black Sea 
														and then planted on 
														Ararat.

														claim that it is a faked 
														"discovery":

										Durupinar
										is a large 
										boat-shaped structure in the Tenderuk 
										mountains of eastern Turkey, 
										
										
										6,300 ft above sea level. 
										
										The 
										Durupinar site was heavily promoted by 
										adventurer and former nurse-anesthetist, 
										the late Ron Wyatt in the 1980s and 
										1990s.  Geologists have 
										identified the Durupinar site as a 
										natural formation, but Wyatt's Ark 
										Discovery Institute continues to 
										champion its claims.
 
 Lorence Collins, a retired geology 
										professor from California State 
										University, Northridge, joined the late 
										David Fasold, a one-time proponent of 
										the Wyatt site, in writing a
										
										scientific summary 
										claiming the Durupinar location is "bogus."
 
 "Evidence from microscopic studies and 
										photo analyses demonstrates that the 
										supposed Ark near Dogubayazit is a 
										completely natural rock formation," said 
										the 1996 paper published in the Journal 
										of Geoscience Education. "It cannot have 
										been Noah's Ark nor even a man-made 
										model. It is understandable why early 
										investigators falsely identified it."
