i was just waiting to see if one of you bible thumpers would jump on this. its another example of your gullibility.Quote from peilthetraveler:
I'm guessing any of you that have been watching the news this morning saw this already. Skeptics are out in full force, but I have a little treat for you all that they didnt show on the news.Here is some footage of the team decending into the ground to get into the ark. Try not to deny the EVIDENCE. Although they have already carbon dated the wood to the time of the great flood, all they are waiting for now is Local Turkish officials to ask the central government in Ankara to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status so the site can be protected while a major archaeological dig is conducted. Then we can let you atheists come in, do your confirmation tests, and shit your pants.

"An account from Randall Price has emerged; Price is a notorious Ark-hunter, young earth creationist, and professor at Liberty University, so he has good kook credentials and is the kind of guy who desperately wants the recent claims of the discovery of Noah's Ark to be true, making this an admission contrary to his biasesâ¦of course, it turns out he also has a money motive to begrudge the Chinese evangelicals their 'discovery'. But this is also a familiar story.
I was the archaeologist with the Chinese expedition in the summer of 2008 and was given photos of what they now are reporting to be the inside of the Ark. I and my partners invested $100,000 in this expedition (described below) which they have retained, despite their promise and our requests to return it, since it was not used for the expedition. The information given below is my opinion based on what I have seen and heard (from others who claim to have been eyewitnesses or know the exact details).
To make a long story short: this is all reported to be a fake. The photos were reputed to have been taken off site near the Black Sea, but the film footage the Chinese now have was shot on location on Mt. Ararat. In the late summer of 2008 ten Kurdish workers hired by Parasut, the guide used by the Chinese, are said to have planted large wood beams taken from an old structure in the Black Sea area (where the photos were originally taken) at the Mt. Ararat site. In the winter of 2008 a Chinese climber taken by Parasut's men to the site saw the wood, but couldn't get inside because of the severe weather conditions. During the summer of 2009 more wood was planted inside a cave at the site. The Chinese team went in the late summer of 2009 (I was there at the time and knew about the hoax) and was shown the cave with the wood and made their film. As I said, I have the photos of the inside of the so-called Ark (that show cobwebs in the corners of rafters - something just not possible in these conditions) and our Kurdish partner in Dogubabyazit (the village at the foot of Mt. Ararat) has all of the facts about the location, the men who planted the wood, and even the truck that transported it."

come on wallet dont be so gullible.Quote from Wallet:
That doesn't prove anything, just some guys opinion about what someone else said, in a courtroom it's called hearsay.
A credible source ABC " cough cough" but better than that listed above news reported the story, they state that it's unproven, so let the story stand as it is, unknown at this point.
personally sounds suspicious given the inaccessibility and control of the area, that any type of construction or large movement of material would be allowed, let alone for a hoax.
Whereas the premise that Noah had two of every living species on his boat, as instructed directly by Mr. Big himself, just oozes with credibility. I wonder how those critters got along. Especially the carnivores. And then there's the small matter of sufficient food for all of the "passengers" for the duration...Quote from Wallet:

Poking holes into this myth is like eating peanuts. You can't just stop at one.
