2007 – Noah’s Ark Ministries International

A group of evangelical Christians with Noah’s Ark Ministries International claim that they are 99.99 percent sure that they found Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat in April of 2010. Several experts, including Creationists and Noah’s Ark buffs have said that they believe the members of NAMI have been tricked by locals. With very little photographic evidence and no scientific evidence to back up the claim, we are left to assume that this is just another bunk Noah’s Ark discovery.

Noah’s Ark may or may not have existed. That is a hard thing to prove either way. The flood seems unlikely, given scientific evidence, but the debate rages on. The likelihood that the ark will ever be found is slim, despite avid searches for it. The fact of the matter is that, without an unlikely occurrence, wood that is thousands of years old will not be preserved. Furthermore, it seems unlikely that a ship that is thousands of years old would remain exposed for explorers to see plainly, without eroding.

    Mr. Arslan,

    Assuming that you really are Ahmet Arslan, which is doubtful, considering my article is only one of many on the subject of your questionable documentary, I still will not remove my comments. They are not personal. They are based on research and evidence – evidence that you do not possess.

    Good luck in your future endeavors.

    I have been on Mt. Ararat and climbed the “Mountain of Noah” more than 50 times, from Ferdinand Navarra to the late Jim Irwing and many live and dead Ark Explorer approached to me to get my assistance and knowledge on Mt. Ararat since 1968 upto 2010. I told to all of them the truth and the truth itself even it was painfull.Nobady did not blame me for “forgery” and I did not forge and pictures taken on Mt. Ararat and blame them as Noah’s Ark. John Morris, John McIntosh and all Ark researchers know me as a “good friend”. Please correct your personal wrong comments about Dr. Arslan…
