Noah's Ark Found?

CWNews.com – The hunt for Noah's Ark has led dozens of expeditions to the Ararat region of eastern Turkey. These missions have not yielded concrete evidence that the ark existed. But now, newly released satellite pictures may have pinpointed the vessel's final resting place.

Could a mystery object showing up on a satellite image be Noah's Ark? Researchers think it just might be.

The object is located on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey, the area where the Bible says Noah survived a monstrous flood that covered the earth.

Porcher Taylor has spent 13 years on a quest to find out exactly what that satellite picture mystery object is.

Taylor is an Assistant. Professor at the University of Richmond, in Virginia. He teaches National Security Law. He told us, "I see, for a 1015 feet in length, a ship-like object that has almost unbroken symmetry."

That's bigger than the generally-accepted Biblical description.
But Taylor says the object has the same length-to-width ratio as the Ark described in Genesis.

Over the years, many have searched this area for evidence of Noah's voyage.

Bruce Feiler is the author of Walking The Bible. Feiler said, “Czar Nicholas sent an expedition in the early 20th century. U2 spy planes were [camera] shooting this mountain in the 1950s, even Jimmy Carter when he was on his way to Iran was said to be looking down to see if he could see Noah's Ark."

Though believers faithfully view the Bible's account as fact, skeptics say someone will have to examine the actual object. That satellite images alone aren't proof – and proof is what the investigators want.

Professor Taylor said, "Currently I'm working with a naval architecture team and they're trying to determine whether 1000 foot long ship, a wooden boat this size, could actually float."

Taylor hopes he can one day lead the expedition that provides the world with proof that Noah and his ‘two by two’ voyage was indeed real.
