Ararat rises from a flat plain and dominates the skyline of Armenia's capital, Yerevan. It would be great if Christoph would think about a film based on his wonderful still pictures. by Daniel from Czech Republic posted on Tue Apr 8 2008 14:52:55.

They often carved one big cross to represent Noah (Nooh alaihissalaam) and smaller crosses representing his family. Below you can see the artifacts which were sent for laboratory analysis. The sleek shape of the hull is necessary to enable the huge ship to remain stable in the water and survive tremendous waves. Mount Ararat. The pure fact that the arc is there, is such a delight. This article is available in print.Vol. When this was first found it appeared to be a large beam. Under the Torkamāṇčāy treaty of 1828, the northern slopes and the summit of Great Ararat were ceded to Russia, and Little Ararat became the point where the Turkish, Persian, and Russian imperial frontiers converged; but under the Moscow treaty of 16 March 1921, which realigned the Turco-Soviet frontier on the Araxes river, Great Ararat was included in Turkish territory, and since the Turco-Persian agreement of 31 January 1932 whereby part of the eastern slope of Little Ararat stretching 5 or 6 km from the crest was transferred to Turkey, this summit also has lain wholly within Turkish territory. From the ice cap numerous tongues of ice descend in valleys, the most important being the Abich glaciers to the northeast and the Parrot glacier to the northwest, both of which come down to about 3,800 m. To the north, in the “Valley of Hell” (Cehennam Dere), the earthquake of 20 June 1840 gave rise, three days later, to a downslip of the end of the ice tongue together with great masses of mud and water, leaving a rock glacier buried under morainic débris. Ararat is a land of Turkey and it is going to be like that forever. Nooh’s (alaihissalaam) Ark was found on the Turkish-Iranian border, 32 kilometres from Mount Ararat, according to the leader of a team of scientists that has been investigating the site for six years. Theophilus of Antioch (115-185 AD) said the Ark could be seen in his day in the Arabian mountains. Ararat rises more than 4000 m above the plains of the Araxes basin (İğdir depression, altitude 875 m) to the northeast and more than 3000 m above the Doğu Bayazıt depression (altitude 2000 m) to the south. This technique is commonly used to locate oil and other minerals. So he forwarded the photographic negative to a famous aerial photography expert named Dr. Brandenburger, at Ohio State University. We like to imagine that humanity evolved in a neat sequence of eras, each named after the technology that was discovered. Turkey will be always proud of Ararat. Islam Reigns. The names given by the Arab geographers to Great and Little Ararat are Jabal al-Ḥāreṯ (The Ploughman’s Mountain) and Jabal al-Ḥowayreṯ (the same in the diminutive form). by Victoria from United States posted on Mon Jun 9 2008 01:34:47.

Later Church Fathers also mention the Ark as late as the mid 7th century. Mt. At 170 metres long and 45 metres wide, it conforms almost exactly to the 300 cubit by 50 cubit boat that God told Noah to build, according to Genesis 6 in the Bible. Brandenburger was responsible for discovering the Cuban missile bases during the Kennedy era from reconnaissance photos, and after carefully studying the photo, he concluded: “I have no doubt at all, that this object is a ship. I’ll describe the evidence in some detail and end with the historical and religious implications. Obtaining official permission, Ron and others conducted more thorough research over a period of several years. A “top heavy” ship, such as the Ark, could easily be capsized by a wave approaching from the side. One end was pointed as you would expect from bow [below: D] and the opposite end was blunt like a stern. These were the exact measurements mentioned in the Bible.

Weather all the forces including France and Armania deny that. David Fasold, an American shipwreck specialist with no religious affiliation, has led the investigation. This is especially true when it comes to our ancient human history. If rivets being used in ancient construction doesn’t impress you, this surely will. This seems to have worked. need to wait some time until your entry turns up. The rivets have survived from antiquity! Mount Ararat, volcanic massif in extreme eastern Turkey, overlooking the point at which the frontiers of Turkey, Iran, and Armenia converge. They anticipated finding and retrieving chucks of wood, long since eroded. Only the shapes and traces of the original wood remain. The Soviet Union broke apart in 1991 and Armenia thus became an independent republic.In 1992, a slightly modified version of the DRA's coat of arms was adopted and has remained in place ever since. Khor Virap, a monastery located just across the border from Turkey,has a good view of the mountain. the exact resting place of the Nooh’s (alaihissalaam) Ark is found in Chapter Hood, verse 44 (Qur.aan 11:44). The outside of the wood appears to have been coated with bitumen. On surrounding terrain, the American and Middle Eastern scientists have identified huge stones with holes carved at one end, which they believe are “drogue-stones,” dragged behind ships in the ancient world to stabilise them. The evidence was undeniable. Moqaddasī (p. 380) in the 4th/10th century, wrote of 1,000 villages on the spurs of the mountain. Which continent is it in???? The wood has been petrified.

Pilgrims to the site would gather bits and pieces of the petrified wood which would be used as charms to ward off evil. “This data does not represent natural geology. Using the GPR, Ron Wyatt discovered an open cavity on the starboard side. H. F. B. Lynch, Armenia, 2 vols., London, 1901, gives a detailed and almost exhaustive bibliography of relevant material including Russian works published up to that date (vol. The distance from bow to stern was 515 feet, or exactly 300 Egyptian cubits. This notion, however, is quite recent. Southeast of the main, snow covered mountain there is the Little Mount Ararat and in the far background the Kaukasus can be seen. Salih Bayraktutan, head of geology at Turkey’s Ataturk University, estimates the age of the ‘vessel’ at more than 100,000 years. We have the Stone Age (where man developed arrows and stone tools), the Bronze Age (where metals were combined and heated to make tools and household items) and lastly the Iron Age (where iron and steel objects were made by heating iron ore and adding other material — like charcoal — to strengthen it). So you might In fact, as we will soon learn, radar scans of the structure suggest that this bulge is the collapsed debris of these levels. Radar soundings indicate unusual levels of iron-oxide distribution. It is the name given to the volcanic massif by the Europeans, who reasoned that the region’s highest mountain ought logically to be the ark’s landing place. There must have been a fairly dense population in the middle ages before the Turkish invasions. No previous reports of an object this odd had been made before. 156-99.
