Noahs Ark Found | @PBDPodcast and @TheRandallCarlson

I just recently started reading the Bible all the way through and this podcast clip came on my feed. I thought it was relevant to go over quickly. A lot of words and cross over make it very interesting. Thank you all.

The question of whether Noah's Ark is on Mount Ararat involves both biblical interpretation and archaeological exploration, with no definitive scientific proof to date. Here's a balanced look based on the information available up to 2024:

Biblical Account

- The Book of Genesis (8:4) states that the ark came to rest on the "mountains of Ararat." This phrasing suggests a region rather than a specific peak, although it has traditionally been associated with Mount Ararat in modern-day Turkey.

#archaeological and Exploratory Efforts**

- **Mount Ararat Expeditions**: Over the years, numerous expeditions have been launched to find evidence of Noah's Ark on or around Mount Ararat. These include explorations by both religious enthusiasts and some scientists.

- **Durupinar Site**: One notable site is the Durupinar formation, located about 30 km south of Mount Ararat, which some claim resembles a boat in satellite imagery. This site has been the subject of much debate. While some researchers and explorers have suggested it could be the remains of the Ark, geological and archaeological analyses have largely concluded it's a natural formation.

- **Recent Claims**: There have been claims, especially highlighted in social media and some news outlets, about discoveries or scans suggesting man-made structures or artifacts that could relate to Noah's Ark. However, these claims often lack peer-reviewed scientific backing or conclusive evidence.

#Scientific and Scholarly Perspectives

-Geological and Archaeological Evidence Most geologists and archaeologists who have studied the claims dismiss the idea of finding Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat due to several reasons:
- **Natural Formations**: Many supposed "discoveries" are explained as natural geological formations or anomalies.
- **Lack of Evidence**: No physical evidence like wood, artifacts, or clear structural remains consistent with the biblical description of the Ark has been scientifically verified from Mount Ararat or its vicinity.

- Historical and Cultural Context**: The story of a great flood is not unique to the Bible; it appears in various cultures, suggesting a common myth or historical event interpreted differently. The location of these stories varies, not always pointing to Mount Ararat.

#Public Sentiment and Belief

-Faith and Tradition For many believers, the story of Noah's Ark landing on Mount Ararat is a matter of faith, not necessarily requiring physical proof. The location has become symbolic in Christian, Jewish, and even some Islamic traditions.

That's not it at all, a french climber in the 90's recorded giant wooden beams frozen in ice on the mountain after a particularly windy and warm season. It's literally frozen in a block of ice on the fucking mountain.
