 1979 Photograph The 515 foot long ark of Noah, as it sits in a mud flow above the 6,000 ft. elevation on the mountains of Ararat in eastern Turkey |
 |
| The very first photo (right) of the 4500 year old remains of Noah's Ark, a
very impressive one to say the least, appeared in the September 5th, 1960 issue
of Life magazine. The photo was taken by an aerial reconnaissance
airplane in 1959... The pilot was not looking for anything like this... This
large boat shaped object, near the 6500 foot level in the mountain range of
"Uratu" (Ararat), far from any great body of water, caused quite a stir!
A group of men from the United States went out to the area, but they came
away perplexed about the site, because they expected to easily see the
evidence of a "giant wooden boat", not the mud and lava covered petrified ruins
that exist out there today! Biblical archeologist, Ron Wyatt, and a
specialist in old boat research by the name of, David Fasold, were
unfortunately not present on that very first expedition. Wyatt was 26
years old when he first saw the photo in Life magazine... Seventeen years later, Ron Wyatt and his companions made their first trip to Turkey to investigate the site. After many years of painstaking and costly research there and throughout the middle east, this group was able to produce astounding evidence in the search and discovery of not only Noah's Ark, but also the plain cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, the Red Sea crossing, the real Mt. Sinai in Arabia, the rock at Horeb that miraculously produced enough water for over a million people, and the most cherished artifact in the history of archeology; the Ark of the Covenant... |
