Widely known to be Noah's Ark in 90 A.D. & 290 A.D.
1960 expedition arouses interests through Life Magazine article.
Now known to be a natural rock formation. This is not the only such formation in the area; there are multiple similar structures nearby. The breadth of this formation is also inconsistent with the Genesis account of the Ark

  • Ok, I can see now that this is Ron Wyatt's claimed Noah's Ark. However, there are many other objects that have a similar Anticline or Syncline Appearance. This one is just more pronounced. I have outlined many possibilities in "The Mountains of Ararat" as the Bible states the Ark rested. However, I think people, scientists, or Ark Researchers, need to exhaust other possibilities before they make a concrete claim. I have outlined many other possibilities if you look for them. Due to Global Warming, it is becoming more and more easier to search the mountains for this evidence.
  • So Noah's Ark would be 400 ft long here.
  • This appears to be a Syncline. A Natural Formation. Evenafter having read many books on Noah's Ark. I still believe that this is a Syncline based on by Geography B.A. Degree Experience.
  • Ark, how stupid can you get.
  • Ron Wyatt was a nurse anesthetist, not a scientist. A quack. You should look at his page on wikipedia. He has also claimed to make more discoveries, including the Ark of the Covenant and the stones of the Ten Commandments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Wyatt
  • Well preserved after several thousand years
  • this is the real location !! yes i see it !!
  • THIS IS THE REMAINS OF NOAH'S ARK. It has been proven for all you skeptics out there, tests showed there to be iron and other metals present in the petrified material, which was proven to be very old laminated wood. The KJV of the Bible calls it "gopher wood", which is the same as saying laminated wood; what are the chances this boat-shaped object that is the right size and containing the right elements, found in the very area of the world the Bible says it landed, mind you, is something other than the one of a kind boat? It clearly HAS TO BE Noah's Ark people.
  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io3P2b68DHk watch this movie for more info :) The Bible is true, and this is the best evidence that there also was a worldwide flood which destroys evolution. Cheers...
  • Perhaps he is.
  • How can there be iron in the ark that was built in the BRONZE age before IRON was even discovered? I call bullshit.
