Stories were told of festivals being held where celebrants would pull pieces off the Ark to use for good luck. There are no known traces of the Ark on this mountain today. After sending out a raven, Noah sent out a dove to see if there was dry ground. But it came back having found nowhere to perch. After seven days, Noah sent it back out and it came back with a fresh olive leaf in its mouth.
And Noah knew the ground was drying Genesis — I agree to the current Privacy Policy. You're almost done! Please follow the instructions we emailed you in order to finish subscribing.

A team of evangelical Christian explorers claim they've found the remains of Noah's ark beneath snow and volcanic debris on Turkey 's Mount Ararat map. But some archaeologists and historians are taking the latest claim that Noah's ark has been found about as seriously as they have past ones—which is to say not very.
See "Noah's Ark Discovered in Iran? Turkish and Chinese explorers from a group called Noah's Ark Ministries International made the latest discovery claim Monday in Hong Kong, where the group is based. The team claims to have found in and seven large wooden compartments buried at 13, feet 4, meters above sea level, near the peak of Mount Ararat. They returned to the site with a film crew in October Many Christians believe the mountain in Turkey is the final resting place of Noah's ark, which the Bible says protected Noah, his family, and pairs of every animal species on Earth during a divine deluge that wiped out most of humanity.
The team says radiocarbon-dated wood taken from the discovery site—whose location they're keeping secret for now—shows the purported ark is about 4, years old, which coincides roughly with the time of Noah's flood implied by the Bible.
Skepticism of the new Noah's ark claim extends to at least one scholar who interprets the Bible literally. As a creationist, Wood believes God created Earth and its various life-forms out of nothing roughly 6, years ago.
Radiocarbon dating estimates the ages of organic objects by measuring the radioisotope carbon 14, which is known to decay at a set rate over time. The method is generally thought to reach its limit with objects about 60, years old.
Earth is generally thought to be about four and a half billion years old. Across the board, radiocarbon dates need to be recalibrated, Wood believes, to reflect shorter time frames. Given this perceived overestimation in radiocarbon dating, the wood the Noah's Ark Ministries International team found should have a "traditional" radiocarbon date of several tens of thousands of years if the wood is truly 4, years old, Wood said. The wood date is "way, way, way too young. Wood thinks Noah's ark will never be found, because "it would have been prime timber after the flood," he said.
You've got a huge boat made of wood, so let's use that," he said. Related: National Geographic's search for Noah's flood. Another reason scholars are skeptical of the latest Noah's ark discovery claim is that Genesis—the first book of the Bible—never specifies which peak the vessel supposedly landed on in Turkey. Stony Brook's Zimansky agreed.
Some say 'yes,' some say 'maybe' -- most say 'no! The fourteen-man expedition, led by explorer and speaker Dr. Even more intriguing, some of the wood-like rocks were tested just this week and actually proved to be petrified wood, and it is noteworthy that Scripture recounts Noah sealed his ark with pitch—a decidedly black substance.
But Dr. Tas Walker of the Creation Institute urged caution regarding the discovery. To petrify, the timber would need to be surrounded by a mineral-rich solution and absorb it into its pore structure. It is difficult to conceive of how that could happen for a timber structure sitting on the side of the mountain. If the Ark still existed high in a mountain somewhere, it is more likely its timber would be exposed to rain and snow which would not contain the minerals to petrify it.
Another recent claim said that satellite pictures may have pinpointed the vessel's final resting place. The object in the photo 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 might be. Taylor is an Assistant.
Professor at the University of Richmond, in Virginia. He teaches National Security Law. He told CBN News, "I see, for a 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.
