Pravda is claiming that Noah's Ark has been found.

Hard to fit so many animals into a ship that size. The cubit is a traditional unit of length, based on the length of the forearm. Cubits of various lengths were employed in many parts of the world in Antiquity, in the Middle Ages and into Early Modern Times. Approximate cubit length = 20.5 CM.

The Quran alledgedly gives the exact location of Noah's arc, while the Bible refers to the Arahat mountains in general.

Then of course there's the theory - put forward by a couple of British writers - that the Ark actually landed in Scotland at a place called Bogie, Top o'Noth, in Aberdeenshire!

Och, after a few notions of the creature the idea grows on you!

Here's the ballon-popping story from the Christian Courier:



....
His work has been debunked thoroughly by professional archaeologists and respected biblical scholars. On August 8, 1996, Joe Zias, Curator of Anthropology/Archaeology with the Israel Antiquities Authority (Jerusalem), issued the following statement:


“Mr. Ron Wyatt is neither an archaeologist nor has he ever carried out a legally licensed excavation in Israel or Jerusalem. In order to excavate one must have at least a BA in archaeology which he does not possess despite his claims to the contrary. We are aware of his claims which border on the absurd as they have no scientific basis whatsoever nor have they ever been published in a professional journal. They fall into the category of trash which one finds in tabloids such as the National Enquirer, Sun, etc. It’s amazing that anyone would believe them…” (http://www.tentmaker.org/WAR/Zias.html)

I think there are probably a lot of old ships/boats/arks out there buried somewhere.....how you identify that it is "The Ark" is probably tougher than finding the thing.

I am not certain what your final sentence means, Skitler, but once again I must remind you to read our rules and to follow them.

In answer to your question - which I am beginning to doubt the seriousness of - I forget the name of one of the two British writers mentioned but one is definitely Comyns Beaumont.

Years ago, I and a friend went to hear Dr. Wyatt speak about this and other biblical finds of his,  Sorry to say we left feeling he was a charlatan.

Noah's Ark probably has got a few parking tickets stuck on it by now i reckon...
