Evangelical Researchers Claim Discovery of Noah’s Ark Atop Mt. Ararat in Turkey

Evangelical researchers claim they have discovered wooden remains of Noah’s ark atop Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey.

According to media reports, a group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers said they discovered wooden remains, thought to be Noah's ark, on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey. The group from Noah's Ark Ministries International claims that carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old, meaning they date to around the same time the ark was said to be afloat. Mt. Ararat has long been suspected as the final resting place of the ark by evangelicals. This discovery would validate many of the biblical stories in the Old Testament.
