Search for Noah

Is this the real Noah's Ark? Why is more of the wood not fossilized? Because it was covered in pitch? Local weather conditions? Why didn't Ron Wyatt give pieces of the wood to others to be tested other than that one lab? Why didn't the lab report state what kind of wood it was made of? Was it gopher wood, or not? If not real the real Noah's Ark, then why is it there?

The worldwide Flood in the time of Noah is no fable! According to Scripture, God destroyed the ungodly who then lived on the earth. It is probable that this ungodly people included giants who were born from the unholy union of the descendents of Adam and the fallen angels. This probably created a gene pool which resulted in our short live spans, cancer, heart disease, etc.

All archeological evidence supports the biblical account that a worldwide flood did happen. Countless fossilized sea creatures have been found on mountain tops. And countless fossilized creatures (including dinosaurs) have been found with food in their mouths --as if they were suddenly buried in an avalanche of rushing water and mud.

Scientists will not admit it, but their carbon dating technique is not any good at all beyond a couple of thousands of years. Because the effect of rushing water, heavy pressure from water, and resting water -- rocks on this planet appear to be millions of years old to these unbelieving scientists and their carbon dating technique. Things fossilize much quicker than scientists will tell you. Scientists will have you believe it takes millions of years to fossilize something. Yet a fossilized pickle has been found in a canning jar, and a fossilized foot has been found inside a 1930's-1940's cowboy boot in a West Texas riverbed. See here

That's not all. Accounts of the worldwide flood come in from nearly every culture on earth. Most of these are identical. Flood accounts come in from Mayan, Persian, Aztec, Sanskrit, Chinese, Egyptian, Babylonian, Inca, Samarian, American Indian, Jewish cultures, and more. The Mayan writings say that water cleansed the earth in 3113 B.C.

2003 Satellite Image of above anomaly on Ararat
taken by DigitalGlobe's QuickBird Satellite in 2003

Located in glacial ice at an altitude of 15,300 feet in 2003, some scientists say the photo suggest its length-to-width ratio is close to 6:1, similar to the description in the Book of Genesis. Same anomaly as the 1949 image above. Satellite image of 'Ararat Anomaly,' taken by DigitalGlobe's QuickBird Satellite in 2003.

The anomaly remains ensconced in glacial ice at an altitude of 15,300 feet, and Porcher Taylor a past Washington intelligence analyst says the photos suggest its length-to-width ratio is close to 6:1, as indicated in the Book of Genesis.

While it's quite possible the item of interest could simply be a natural ridge of rock, snow and ice, Taylor says there's also a chance it could be something manmade.

"I had no preconceived notions or agendas when I began this in 1993 as to what I was looking for," he said. "I maintain that if it is the remains of something manmade and potentially nautical, then it's potentially something of biblical proportions."

Ray Anderson just sent me the link to his brand new site detailing his own search for Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat. His new site has pictures and sighting reports I had never before heard of.

Can it be that God has purposely kept Noah's Ark hidden till the right time in these "End Days", when all those who are written in the "Lamb's Book" are converted by Faith in Jesus, and NOT by an object such as Noah's Ark?

An Able Explorer As a technological threshold, it’s important to note that IKONOS is superior to ground expeditions in two important aspects. Mt. Ararat’s 17-square-mile ice cap (as deep as 300 feet of ice and snow in some places) and often thick cloud cover would pose a daunting task for a ground expedition to cover that much ground in search of a specific “object.” It would take perhaps dozens of ground expeditions over several years to cover every square foot of the ice cap. Additionally, given the past geopolitical volatility of the Ararat area—a proverbial stone’s throw from Iran and the former Soviet Union’s border—and the difficulty of obtaining a permit for a private expedition from the Turkish government, actually climbing Mt. Ararat is difficult at best.


Imaging the entire ice cap on Mt. Ararat and dozens of square miles around the mountain in one easy satellite swath at 1-meter resolution, IKONOS began rewriting the satellite archaeology playbook in October 1999. Until then, no commercial satellite had the camera capability of imaging an exact spot on Mt. Ararat with any appreciable degree of photographic clarity to determine if this Titanic-shaped and -sized “object” might be manmade. IKONOS’ maiden flight in 1999 over Ararat constitutes the satellite’s first use as an archaeological tool. This introduces us to the first advantage of IKONOS over a ground expedition: broad, high-resolution imaging coverage of the entire mountain. Any anomalous “objects” anywhere on the mountain can be quickly discerned and analyzed by the well-trained eyes of satellite imagery analysts. In 1999, IKONOS began to rapidly strip away the veil of mystery and secrecy surrounding Mt. Ararat. Having no need to obtain a space-based expedition permit from the Turkish government or to be concerned about any geopolitical sensitivity with respect to Mt. Ararat’s triangulated location at the Turkish-Iranian-Armenian geographic corridor, IKONOS facilely demonstrated its second technological advantage over a ground expedition. At amazing speed, 17,000 miles per hour, this space-based “bird” zoomed in on the coordinates of the “object of interest” with clear, crisp imagery. Without even leaving the comfort of their PCs, members of my imagery analysis team around the United States were able to “walk” around the ice cap on Mt. Ararat in cyberspace.


IKONOS’ 1999 calibration mission seemed to confirm that the Ararat Anomaly had the same ship-like features of the “object” in four declassified aerial photos taken by a U.S. Air Force plane on a low-level reconnaissance mission on June 17, 1949. The plane was flying parallel to Mt. Ararat at 14,000 feet. In 1995, I successfully solicited the Defense Intelligence Agency to release these aerial photos to me under the Freedom of Information Act. This was the first milestone in my satellite archaeology project, because it was the first time that the intelligence community had ever officially released any photographs of Mt. Ararat into the public domain. What hints did the IKONOS 1999 imagery and the 1949 aerial photos give of “ship-like features” in the Ararat Anomaly? On the north end of the Anomaly were two distinct, thick parallel lines about 10 feet apart that ran for about 200 feet. Interestingly, these lines were arcing with unusual symmetry, seemingly to hint at a bow- or stern-like form. Although there was heavy ice and snow cover shrouding the Anomaly in the 1999 image, a ship-like shape running 1,015 feet beneath the ice and snow was faintly perceptible. Prime Opportunities With hopefully more favorable weather conditions on Mt. Ararat coming up in summer 2000, maybe, just maybe, the next IKONOS mission would shed more light on this ancient mystery. Indeed, Turkey was about to suffer through its hottest summer in 60 years, with temperatures reaching 130 degrees melting highway asphalt—ideal conditions for ice-clad Ararat to reveal a bit more of its secrets to the penetrating and discerning “eyes” of IKONOS. In March 2000, Insight on the News, the Washington Times Corp.’s weekly news magazine, contracted GeoEye to task IKONOS to fly three missions over the “object of interest” on Mt. Ararat.


Auspiciously, the hot weather in summer 2000 peeled back another layer of secrecy covering the “object.” Another thick, straight line running about 400 feet long was evident in the Aug. 5 image. It was “connected to” and ran parallel to an area that I’ll call, for lack of a better word, the “deck” of the “ship-like object.” This time, much more of the “ship” was visible in the sub-surface ice. We were even more fortunate with the results of the Aug. 11, 2000, IKONOS mission over this deeply buried “object.” Some of the key pieces in this puzzle seemed to be falling into place. Both the 200- and 400-foot symmetrical lines were more visible than ever. For the first time, the “deck” or “frame” area could be seen with relatively good detail. Significantly, I could see two more parallel lines running about 400 feet, connected by what appeared to be many cross-connecting lines. Although there was heavy cloud cover over the south end of the “object,” what was visible suggested that these two “connecting” parallel lines continued toward the cloud-covered part of the “object.” There was a hint that these lines ended up in the form of a “bow-type” shape. Totally free of cloud-cover, Mt. Ararat on Sept. 13, 2000, granted us a great glimpse of the Anomaly. Fortunately, there was a major glacial meltback on the Anomaly, and a couple of questions raised by the Aug. 11 mission seemed a little bit closer to being answered. The “bow shape” of the south end of the Anomaly was beginning to emerge more clearly, and the “deck” part of the Anomaly gave subtle hints that a “roof-like structure” might be covering parts of it. In July 2005, IKONOS broke through the clouds on Mt. Ararat and imaged the Anomaly again. Although there is heavy snow and ice cover on the Anomaly, the image confirmed that the “ship-like” shape of the Anomaly hasn’t changed in nearly 60 years, since the U.S. Air Force plane zeroed in on it in 1949. On Feb. 1, 2003, DigitalGlobe’s QuickBird satellite zoomed in on the Anomaly at 2-foot resolution. This mission revealed that the Anomaly is very much “ship-shaped” and about 160 feet wide. This could be significant, because the Genesis architectural blueprint gives Noah’s Ark a 6:1 length-to-width ratio at 300 cubits in length and 50 cubits in width. At about 1,015 feet long and 160 feet wide, the Anomaly appears to fall into this biblical proportions ballpark. That could merely be a coincidence, but then again, maybe the Anomaly site has more secrets to reveal. With the launch of IKONOS’ high-tech successor, GeoEye-1, in February 2007, my satellite archaeology project is poised to shed even greater high-tech light on an enduring ancient mystery. This new high-tech eye in the sky will have an astounding .4-meter resolution, nearly twice the resolution of IKONOS. At that time, perhaps Mt. Ararat will shed its greatest secret of all.
