i dont think we'll know til we get up there for real. BUT the history channel has been very accurate on all accounts since i've seen it... so... if it says it is then, i guess so. but we'll see. the whole idea of it being there is pretty cool though.

Being an historian I will reserve judgement until I see the evidence personally.  I've NEVER read from a credible source that scientists have stated that the Bible to be one of the most accurate books ever written.\n\n\nShow ME the source and I will decide for myself.

Hello sweet Kayla.. :)\n\nCould Noah's Ark really hold all the animals that were supposed to be preserved from Flood?\n \nA growing number of scientists believe that geological evidence indicates our world has undergone a catastrophic flood. This is causing them to question whether or not the biblical account of Noah's ark could be true. Many people are rereading the Biblical description of the Ark to ascertain the feasibility of such a vessel to fulfill its designated purpose in light of present day knowledge of both zoology and our present day knowledge of shipbuilding.\n \nSize comparison between average size one-story home and Noah's Ark. Illustration from The World that Perished.How big was Noah's Ark?\n\n"And God said unto Noah… Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt though make in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of… the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou make in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side therof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it." (Gen. 6:14-16)\n \nA cubit is the distance between an adult's elbow and tip of the finger, no less than 18-inches [45.72 centimeters]. (Scene from The World that Perished.)Most Hebrew scholars believe the cubit to have been no less than 18 inches long [45.72 centimeters]. This means that the ark would have been at least 450 feet long [137.16 meters], 75 feet wide [22.86 meters] and 45 feet high [13.716000000000001 meters]. Noah's Ark was said to have been the largest sea-going vessel ever built until the late nineteenth century when giant metal ships were first constructed. Its length to width ratio of six to one provided excellent stability on the high seas. In fact, modern shipbuilders say it would have been almost impossible to turn over. In every way, it was admirably suited for riding out the tremendous storms in the year of the flood.\n\nThese dimensions are especially interesting when compared to those given in the mythical, Babylonian account of the Ark. Here the ark is described as a perfect cube, extending 120 cubits in all directions and with nine decks. Such a vessel would spin slowly round and round in the water and from the standpoint of stability, would be a disaster.\n\nWas the ark big enough to hold the number of animals required?\nThe total available floor space on the ark would have been over 100,000 square feet, which would be more floor space than in 20 standard-sized basketball courts.\n \nAssuming an 18-inch cubit [45.72 centimeters], Noah's Ark would have had a cubic volume equal to 569 modern railroad stock cars.The total cubic volume would have been 1,518,000 cubic feet [462,686.4 cubic meters] --that would be equal to the capacity of 569 modern railroad stock cars.\n\nNow comes the question, how many land dwelling air breathing animals would have had to be taken aboard the ark to survive the flood?\n\nAccording to Ernest Mayr, America's leading taxonomist, there are over 1 million species of animals in the world.\n \nGod only provided the Ark for the protection of humans and land-dwelling, air-breathing creatures. A huge number of animals would not need to be taken aboard the Ark because they are water dwellers. Representatives would be expected to survive the catastrophe. With God's protection against extinction during the Deluge, survival would have been assured. (Scene from The World that Perished, a Christian motion picture about the Flood)However, the vast majority of these are capable of surviving in water and would not need to be brought aboard the ark. Noah need make no provision for the 21,000 species of fish or the 1,700 tunicates (marine chordates like sea squirts) found throughout the seas of the world, or the 600 echinode

You ask such a trivial question. Of course there were woodpeckers on the ark. Otherwise we would not have them today or if they had died out after the flood, like dinosaurs, or any phisical evidence that they had exsisted. Your second question is the most trivial. Look at the big picture. Think of all the animals on the ark. God must have given him instrutions on where he should keep each of the thousands of animals on the ark. there are some things a person should have faith in and in the big scheme of things not worry about. God is an orderly God and controls things to the smallest detail.

a while back i asked a pastor that question at a friends house and we got into that discussion.. its not really proven yet where the Garden actually was.. some relegious groups say it never really existed and it was a heaven thing, but then in Genesis says Adam and Eve were the first persons on earth and they were at the garden. \n\nYet most geographicians(if thats a word lol) believe to be on the Middle East, near Mesopotamia. and that is because on text is say from Eden the river diveded into 4 other rivers or 4 branches which is tigris, Euphrates, Pishon, & Gohin. Today 2 of those rivers are no longer with water.. but from satellite photos, has reveled 2 dry riverbeds flowing toward the Persian Gulf, near where Tigris and Euphrates also terminate..\n\nwell hope that helped u asnwer ur question!!

Possibly the Ark of the Covenant (sought by Indiana Jones, Hitler, and just about everyone else).  \n\nI didn't hear of it traveling to Israel, but I've been familiar with their claim for several years.

Yep science knows it but has the time wrong.  The bible says that God pulled one land mass out of the ocean and then two generations after the flood of Noah, he divided it.\n\nThat is if you believe the bible.  If you dont than I guess Moses just had a lucky guess.

Wood rots at sea level in warm weather where there are all kinds of critters and bugs that chew it up, and even then it takes a long time.\n\nIf the "thing" on Ararat is actually Noah's Ark, it could be that none of the critters and things that are there could survive at so high an altitude and cool of weather.

I believe in God just not the bible, how dare anyone claim to know what God thinks, I have more respect for God, there are hundreds of archaeological finds proving that the bible that exists was put into place by church hierarchy that had ulterior motives for including and not including what THEY wanted in the bible, only someone who had ALL the original texts and could read them in the original language that they were written in would have a good understanding of what the ancient religious leaders had in mind, and who's to say they were God inspired, insane asylums are full of people who hear God

None.. It was Noah's Ark

Searching for the Ark\n\nSince the 19th century, there have been numerous attempts to find the ark on the mountains of Ararat. These mountains have two prominent peaks, one 16,950 feet high and the other 12,840 feet. The higher of the two is perpetually covered by snow. Because of the climatic changes that followed the Flood, the ark would soon have been buried by snow. Some investigators firmly believe that the ark is still there, buried deep in a glacier. They claim that there have been periods when the ice melted sufficiently to permit part of the ark to be exposed temporarily.\n\nThe book In Search of Noah’s Ark quotes George Hagopian, an Armenian, who claimed that he climbed Mount Ararat and saw the ark in 1902 and again in 1904. On the first visit, he said, he actually climbed on top of the ark. “I stood up straight and looked all over the ship. It was long. The height was about forty feet [12 m].” Regarding his observation on his subsequent visit, he said: “I didn’t see any real curves. It was unlike any other boat I have ever seen. It looked more like a flat-bottomed barge.”\n\nFrom 1952 to 1969, Fernand Navarra made four efforts to find evidence of the ark. On his third trip to Mount Ararat, he worked his way to the bottom of a crevasse in a glacier, where he found a piece of black wood embedded in the ice. “It must have been very long,” he said, “and perhaps still attached to other parts of the ship’s framework. I could only cut along the grain until I split off a piece about five feet [1.5 m] long.”\n\nProfessor Richard Bliss, one of several experts who examined the wood, said: “The Navarra wood sample is a structural beam and impregnated with bituminous pitch. It has mortise and tenon joints. And it’s definitely hand-hewn and squared.” The estimated age of the wood was set at about four or five thousand years.\n\nAlthough efforts have been made to find the ark on Mount Ararat, the definite proof that it was used to survive a cataclysmic deluge exists in the written record of that event in the Bible book of Genesis. \n\nThe ark had a carrying capacity equal to that of 10 freight trains of about 25 American boxcars each!

Coz Noah forgot to let Dino on board....(kidding)\n\nno, coz Bible is a book about relationship between human and God, not Dino with God

The Noah story is impossible.  It would not be possible for someone to build a boat that big, or to get two of every animal on earth, or to fit them on said boat.\n\nIf people would consider the story with their brains instead of their emotions, they would realize just how ridiculously false the story is.\n\nTo put this in simple terms for the cretins... How do you figure Noah rounded up two polar bears, two penguins, two kangaroos, two horses, etc...  Was he the first (and last) man to sail to every continent in the world collecting animals?  Amazing that no one else managed this feat until thousands of years later.\n\nEdit - also, it's an old pagan fairy tale called the Epic of Gilgamesh, anyway.  The Christians just inserted it into their bible.  This stuff is so easy to understand, people...

Yes,the Ethiopians really do have the Ark of the Covenant.I saw something about it being in their possession a few years ago on the Discovery Channel & read something about it in National Geographic magazine.\n\nAs to why the Vatican doesn't have it,what I read about it & what I watched on TV about it,that wasn't even addressed.My guess is that they weren't sure about its existence,since,up until a few years ago,many people(mainly archaelogists),didn't believe that it still existed after 586 B.C.

It is said that the people who tried to build it wanted it to be as high as the sky is so that they could reach god.\nBut god punished them before they finished it. We don't know how tall it was because we don't know where it is and we don't know if that story is true at all.

A necessary note from Pablo. \n\nWhere is the Ark of the Covenant? The Ark of the Covenant mysteriously disappeared 2,500 years ago. Amateur archeologist Ron Wyatt claimed he found it. It is important to realize that three of Ron’s many discoveries are widely accepted: \n\n\nThe Turkish government has officially proclaimed that Ron Wyatt found Noah’s Ark. \nIsraeli tour guides take visitors to the site Ron Wyatt identified as the sites of Sodom and Gomorrah where the cities, although turned into ashes, are still visible. \nAnd most investigators believe his discovery of Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia, as well as the site of the crossing of the Red Sea by the children of Israel. \n(Necessary is to say that lately some immoral "investigators," in order to make money through their books and videos, have attempted to appropriate for themselves these last two discoveries by not giving proper credit to Wyatt when they make their presentations of it). (For some evidences of Wyatt's discoveries see links at the end of this article) \nNotwithstanding all the above validated discoveries, many so-called "skeptics" — Christians and not — still doubt Ron’s claim that he found the Ark of the Covenant and go to all extremes to deny it. Why? Because its acceptance would entail too many serious consequences for many uninformed Christians unconsciously affected by the all-encompassing Replacement Theology, for rabbinic Judaism, for all pagan religions of the world and for Evolutionism. In other words, its acceptance would deeply revolutionize the fabric of human society due to its "disturbing" spiritual ramifications. Therefore, Satan will use any and all his minions in order to try and stop the information on this page to be publicly known, and most of all accepted. Read on, and let the Spirit of the Almighty tell to your heart and your mind what the truth is. I know that his truth can make you free — or freer. \n\nPablo \n\n\n\nThis article describes in detail the most amazing and important discovery ever made in Archeology. The finding of the Ark of the Covenant by a Christian amateur archeologist, Ron Wyatt — a real Indian Jones — in 1982. Here you will find out why you might have never heard of it before despite of its proven reality. In this description there are many things that are amazing enough as to leave the blockbusters of Steven Spielberg deep in the dust. The reality and significance of what Ron Wyatt discovered in so fabulously mind blowing that only God, the ultra-imaginative Creator of the Universe could ever had conceived the most portentous element in this discovery. If you have Christ in you, be advised, you will cry. I did. It is also necessary to say that Wyatt made his phenomenal discoveries (this was not the only one, here you will read about several in connection with the sacred Ark) by strictly following the indications given in the Bible and by tuning with God in prayer. He proved that God uses those less likely to do His work on this earth ... and the results are awesome that lead to you bow and worship Him who has no equal in Eternity. To Him all Glory. To Wyatt thanks in Heaven. And to you a huge surprise lies ahead. Read on. \n\n"For nothing is secret,that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad."   Lucius (Lukius, Luke) 8.17 \n\n\n\nIntroduction To The Discovery\nRon's Studies\n\n\nWhen Ron Wyatt returned to America after his unusual experience in Jerusalem, he studied the Bible closely, noting the last time the Ark's location was mentioned. He discovered it was when King Josiah of Judah wanted to reform the country, "Moreover Josiah kept a Passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem; and they killed the Passover on the 14th day of the first month. And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the Lord: 'Put the Holy Ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of
