This past Sunday in Hong Kong a press conference was held to announce that a wooden structure has been found on Mt Ararat at about 4200 meters in elevation (the mountain is 5165 m high).  The Chinese and Kurdish explorers researching this find believe it may very well be the remains of Noah’s Ark.  More research needs to be carefully done to make a convincing case, but this is very intriguing news with a lot of interesting photos and commentary to ponder.  
 
In the upper right corner of the web page below you can click on “Eng” to change the report from Chinese into English.  Just below that is a video of the press conference.  The lady speaking alternates between Chinese and English.  The Chinese involved are committed Christians.  The people in Turkey that are involved are, of course, Muslim, who also believe that Noah’s Flood really happened.

It will be interesting to see what lab research on wood and other objects brought down from the site and future trips to the site with scientific experts will reveal.  Could this be the remains of Noah’s Ark?  Only time (with more research) will tell.  If it is indeed shown to be the ark, it will be the greatest archeological discovery in history.  As the investigations unfold (it will be slow as there is only a limited time each year that the site on this dangerous mountain in a politically complicated and dangerous area of Turkey can be investigated), I’ll try to keep you informed.
