According to Genesis 8:4 the Ark landed on the “mountains of Ararat” on the 150th day of the great flood.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.'

The Lost Zoo is the first episode of Noah's island's first series. Synopsis A fireball from the sky causes Noah's home to break free from the Canadian coastline and float away. Now adrift in the Atlantic Ocean, the island runs out of steam in dangerous and freezing waters. Noah is ready to try anything to set the lava flowing again. Elsewhere a ship carrying a collection of animals bound for.

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. He added: 'The volcano now called Mount Ararat did not grow until well after the ocean (flood) waters had retreated.' Furthermore, the lavas and ash layers of Mount Ararat date to the time of the post-Flood Ice Age.' This is consistent with Mount Ararat being built after the Flood on top of a dry plateau.' 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 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.'

Contents.Biography and marine career Fasold was born in in 1939 and grew up in, son of Frank, an, and Ruth Fasold, who raised him as strict. In 1957 he joined the becoming an officer and traveling the world. He met his wife Anna Elizabeth Avila, from, in, in the 1950s. After beginning a family he moved to, where Fasold built up a respectable company. In the 1970s and 1980s he assisted various marine, including. He raised two sons, Nathan and Michael, before dying of in on April 26, 1998, financially broken from years of expeditions and research.: 10–11, 184–185 Durupınar Site Always interested in the history of the and, Fasold studied pre-Christian accounts of the and came to believe that the ark would be found not on but somewhere to the southwest.

In 1985, Fasold teamed up with to investigate the (located at approximately ), a boat-shaped mound site named after Captain İlhan Durupınar who identified the formation in a aerial photo while on a mapping mission for in 1959.In 1985, Fasold and Wyatt were joined by for the expedition recounted in Fasold's The Ark of Noah. As soon as Fasold saw the site, he exclaimed that it was a ship wreck. Fasold had brought a state-of-the-art, set on the wavelength for and searched the formation for internal iron loci. This technique was later compared to by the site's detractors. Fasold and the team measured the length of the formation as 538 feet, close to the 300 of the if the cubit of 20.6 inches is used. Later measurements by others found it to be 515 feet, exactly 300 Egytpian cubits in length. Fasold believed the team had found the fossilized remains of the upper deck and that the original reed substructure has disappeared.

In the nearby village of Kazan, so-called stones that they believed were once attached to the ark were investigated. The Ark of Noah and the break with Wyatt.

The first edition of Fasold's book The Ark of Noah, showing the and the ark as a large.Ron Wyatt and David Fasold were both featured on a television special soon after their expedition. Wrote of Fasold's searches in his 1987 book The Lost Ship of Noah, also printing part of an extensive 1985 interview with Fasold on pages 157-161. Wyatt wrote a small booklet, presenting his evidence found at the site, including what he considered petrified wood from deck timbers, pitch, and metal rivets. Fasold took a different approach, concentrating on literature and, as a nautical engineer, recognized the likelihood that it was made, like other ancient large boats and rafts, of reeds. He concluded that the enigmatic 'gopher wood' of Genesis 6:14 was in fact a covering of and, and the words was related to kaphar.

He also made the claim that there were two, one located on and the original one in the mountains. In 1988, Fasold published his own book, The Ark of Noah.In The Ark of Noah, Fasold took many and creationists to task for insisting that the ark was rectangular in shape, made of wood, and must have landed on Mount Ararat (when the Bible states 'the mountains of Ararat'). He also critically examined and dismissed many previous ark sightings at Ararat. The exposure of his find in the media led to further expeditions to the site in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

During this time, Wyatt supposedly discovered petrified wood and metal items, and exposed the remains of decayed rib timbers at the site. Fasold doubted many of Wyatt's claims during this time, and broke with Wyatt's interpretations. During this time, Fasold formed the Noahide Society and issued a newsletter called Ark-Update.: 11 He also produced several audio and video tapes. Doubts and changing views During the 1990s, Fasold was caught between three opposing camps, all of whom derided his interest in the site: orthodox creationists who believed the ark could only lie on Mt.

Ararat; Wyatt and others who continued their research and reported significant discoveries; and skeptical geologists and biblical minimalists who called the site a hoax.: 95–127After a few expeditions to the Durupınar site that included drillings and excavation in the 1990s, Fasold began to have doubts that the Durupınar formation was Noah's ark. Following a September 1994 site visit with geologist, he noted: 'I believe this may be the oldest running hoax in history. I think we have found what the ancients said was the Ark, but this structure is not Noah's Ark.' At other times he claimed that the site was only what the ancients believed was 's 'ark of reeds'.
