Noah’s Ark found? Researchers believe this mountain is biblical ship’s final resting place
Ark investigators believe they have found traces of a wooden structure on Mount Ararat, also known as Agri Mountain, in Agri, Turkey. American researcher Professor Paul Esprante said he intends finding more evidence to prove the Ark landed there. He was one of 108 scientists from Turkey and around the world speaking at the three-day International Symposium of Mount Ararat and Noah‘s Ark in Agri, which looks at evidence put forward for the Ark's final resting place.
He said: "My purpose is to visit the sites around the mountain to find clues about catastrophic events in the past. I think that rigorous, serious scientific work is needed in the area, and I would like to collaborate in that. We have technical resources and we can work together with local experts. The result of my findings will be published in books, publications and journals, but at this point it is too early to know what we are going to find. Once the scientific community knows about the existence of Noah‘s Ark in Mount Ararat, we can make it available to the general public."
Dr Andrew Snelling wrote on Answersingenesis.org: "Several teams have continued searching for the real Ark. Most of them have focused on Mount Ararat in northeastern Turkey, where eyewitness accounts of a wooden structure have spurred interest for centuries. The biblical reference to ‗mountains of Ararat‘ as the landing site of the Ark suggests those mountains formed well before the Flood ended. The Flood was a global catastrophe that totally reshaped the earth‘s geology, and the earth‘s surface has continued to change since then. Perhaps the geology of the modern Mount Ararat region sheds light on whether we should be looking for Noah‘s Ark on that mountain."
Dr Snelling is not convinced it is the right location. "Mount Ararat is thus a post-Flood volcano, which continued to erupt, most recently less than 200 years ago. Thus, from my perspective as a biblical geologist, I do not expect to find Noah‘s Ark on Mount Ararat. Instead, it must have landed on another high mountain in the region at that time."
There have been claims made in previous years for evidence of the ark being found on the peak. In April 2010 a team of evangelical Christian explorers claimed to find the remains of Noah‘s ark beneath snow and volcanic debris on Mount Ararat. Turkish and Chinese explorers from a group called Noah‘s Ark Ministries International made the claim. Filmmaker Eung Wing-cheung said: "It‘s not 100 percent that it is Noah‘s ark, but we think it is 99.9 percent that this is it."
However, the claim was not widely accepted or confirmed. Paul Zimansky, then an archaeologist specialising in the Middle East at Stony Brook University in New York State, said: "I don‘t know of any expedition that ever went looking for the ark and didn‘t find it."

Welcome to Africa
Africa. There‘s nowhere like it on the planet for wildlife, wild lands and rich traditions that endure. Prepare to fall in love.
Natural Beauty: Whether you‘re a wideeyed first-timer or a frequent visitor, Africa cannot fail to get under your skin. The canvas upon which the continent‘s epic story is written is itself astonishing, and reason enough to visit. From the tropical rainforests and glorious tropical coastline of Central Africa to the rippling dunes of the Namib Desert, from the signature savannah of the Serengeti to jagged mountains, green-tinged highlands and deep-gash canyons that mark the Great Rift Valley‘s continental traverse – wherever you find yourself on this big, beautiful continent, Africa has few peers when it comes to natural beauty.
New Africa: The past retains its hold over the lives of many Africans, but just as many have embraced the future, bringing creativity and sophistication to the continent‘s cities and urban centres. Sometimes this New Africa is expressed in a creative-conservation search for solutions to the continent‘s environmental problems, or in an eagerness to break free of the restrictive chains of the past and transform the traveller experience. But just as often, modern Africans are taking all that is new and fusing it onto the best of the old.
Ancient Africa: On this continent where human beings first came into existence, customs, traditions and ancient rites tie Africans to generations and ancestors past and to the collective memory of myriad people. In many rural areas it can feel as though the modern world might never have happened, and they are all the better for it, and old ways of doing things – with a certain grace and civility, hospitality and a community spirit – survive. There are timehonoured ceremonies, music that dates back to the days of Africa‘s golden empires, and masks that tell stories of spirit worlds never lost. Welcome to Old Africa.
Wildlife Bonanza: A Noah‘s ark of wildlife brings Africa‘s landscapes to life, with a tangible and sometimes profoundly mysterious presence that adds so much personality to the African wild. So many of the great beasts, including elephants, hippos and lions, call Africa home. Going on safari may be something of a travel cliché, but we‘re yet to find a traveller who has watched the wildlife world in motion in the Masai Mara, watched the epic battles between predator and prey in the Okavango Delta, or communed with gorillas and surfing hippos in Gabon and has not been reduced to an ecstatic state of childlike wonder.
