ArcImaging - The Search For Noah's Ark
Why Search on Mount Ararat Today?
Noah’s Ark on high
mountain like Mount Ararat could provide support for the flood described as worldwide in the Bible, which
many critics dismiss as
simply a local or regional flood.
Historians
wrote about Noah’s Ark surviving throughout history – Berossus, Josephus, etc.
There are dozens of “alleged eyewitnesses” from 1856 to 1989 who claim to have seen a boat-like structure sticking out of
the ice and moraine on
Mount Ararat.
The theory,
based on the purported eyewitnesses, is that after an “extreme” melt back
of the ice cap, Noah’s Ark is revealed with a portion sticking out of the ice.
Currently,
nothing is visible on the surface of Mount Ararat. Therefore, researchers should be proactive and use RADAR to look
underneath the ice cap today,
which is 17 square miles, 14,000-17,000 feet in elevation, and up to 300-400 feet deep in order to
finish the prime research
on Mount Ararat. Ataturk University sponsors ArcImaging to complete this research
and other archaeological research in the
region.
