4 20 miles south of Mt. Ararat, at 7,000 feet, is a boat- shaped formation exceeding 500 feet that some thought was the ark (first photographed in 1960, above photo prior to earthquake in 1978 where earth dropped around sides

7 For detailed rebuttal to Ron Wyatt’s claims that the structure on prior pictures was the ark, see: http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v14/i 4/report.asp#ark5 convincing claims stands up.

8 Note: Before Ron Wyatt passed away in 2000, he had made claims not only of discovering and “proving” Noah’s ark but also who claims to have found virtually every archaeological site of interest to Christians. His alleged ‘finds’ are nothing short of astonishing and include: of:The true site of the crucifixionThe Ark of the CovenantThe true Mount Sinai (with a plaque announcing it as such)The site of Korah’s earthquakeThe true site of the Israelites’ Red Sea crossing, also with a marker ‘built by King Solomon’ as a memorialChariot wheels from Pharaoh’s drowned armyThe actual rock Moses struck to release waterNoah’s graveNoah’s houseMrs Noah’s grave (containing a fortune—her gold and jewelry)Moses’ stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments, held together with golden hinges Reputable creationists long ago distanced and disassociated themselves with him and his research and reputation convincing claims stands up.

9 Others like Bill Crouse have argued the ark is on Mount Judi (Cudi in Turkish, in southeast Turkey) rather than Ararat In 2008, Bob Cornuke released a DVD that argues the ark actually landed on another mountain range in the Elburz Mountains, Mount Suleiman, about 54 miles from Tehran, the capital of Iran. Previously (2001) Cornuke was convinced that the Ark had landed on Mount Sabalan in Iran (his research has been challenged by many Christians to publish his findings in a peer-reviewed publication, but he has not yet and thus is questionable at best) http://www.noahsarksearch.com/Cornuke_The_Search_F or_Noah's_Ark_DVD_Review.htm

10 Another recent news release (not covered much by mainstream media) suggests it’s none of those mountain ranges at all. Where has the ark been discovered?
