As the evidence suggests, Noah's Ark is on Doomsday mountain.

" THE REAL NOAH'S ARK?

There are a number of interesting points to consider in determining if this is, in fact, the site of Noah’s Ark:

1. It is in the shape of a boat, with a pointed bow and rounded stern.

2. Exact length as noted in biblical description, 515 feet or 300 Egyptian cubits. (Egyptian not Hebrew cubit would have been known to Moses who studied in Egypt then wrote Genesis.)

3. It is on a mountain in Eastern Turkey, as stated in the Bible, "The ark rested . . . upon the mountains of Ararat" Genesis 8:4. (Ararat being the name of the ancient country Urartu which covered this region.)

4. Contains petrified wood, as proven by lab analysis.

5. Contains high-tech metal alloy fittings, as proven by separate lab analyses paid for by Ron Wyatt, then later Kevin Fisher of this web site. Aluminum was found in the fittings which is a MAN-MADE metal!

6. Vertical rib timbers on its sides, comprising the skeletal superstructure of a boat. Regular patterns of horizontal and vertical deck support beams are also seen on the surface of the ark.

7. Occupied ancient village at the ark site at 6,500 ft. elevation matching Flavius Josephus' statement "Its remains are shown there by the inhabitants to this day."

8. Dr. Bill Shea found an ancient pottery sherd within a few yards of the ark which has a carving on it that depicts a bird, a fish, and a man with a hammer wearing a headdress that has the name "Noah" on it. In ancient times these items were created by the locals in the village to sell to visitors of the ark. The ark was a tourist attraction in ancient times and today.

9. Recognized by Turkish Government as Noah's Ark National Park and a National Treasure. Official notice of its discovery appeared in the largest Turkish newspaper.

10. Visitors' center built by the government to accommodate tourists further confirms its authenticity.

11. Huge anchor stones were found near the ark and in a village, Kazan, 15 miles away, which hung off the rear of the ark to steady its ride.

12. The ark rests upon Cesnakidag (or Cudi Dagi) Mountain, which is translated as "Doomsday" Mountain.

13. Dr. Salih Bayraktutan of Ataturk University stated, "It is a man made structure, and for sure it's Noah's Ark" Common Sense. This same article also states "The site is immediately below the mountain of Al Judi, named in the Qur'an as the resting place of the Ark." Houd Sura 11:44

14. Radar scans show a regular pattern of timbers inside the ark formation, revealing keels, keelsons, gunnels, bulkheads, animal chambers, ramp system, door in right front, two large barrels in front 14 x 24', and an open center area for air flow to all three levels.

HUGE ANCHOR STONES:

In addition to the objects found directly at the site that the Turkish Government has dedicated at Noah’s Ark, numerous drogues or anchor stones have been found all over the area in close proximity to what appears to be the ark. They are very similar to numerous drogue anchor stones found in the Mediterranean Sea but the ones near Mt. Ararat are huge. One of the stone that was shown to Wyatt had eight crosses carved into the side. These crosses were probably the workmanship of men who lived long after Noah and his three sons and all their wives were gone but it does indicate that earlier residents in the area believed these to be part of the ancient ship.

Drogue stones were used in ancient times to stabilize vessels, especially during times of storms. Wyatt recorded his first observations of these stones – “A startling series of realizations spread through my mind. We were looking at the first and largest of the “sea anchors” that were used for steering ancient ships. I was familiar with these stone artifacts but had not realized the absolute necessity of their use on Noah’s Ark. Although the ark was built only to float and not necessarily to travel from one place to another; it was very necessary that it have some mechanism by which to hold the prow into the rough seas. Without such a mechanism the boat would have spun dizzily through the raging storm, making life totally unbearable for the occupants . . . By suspending these large stone from the end of a strong cord and allowing them to trail far enough below the back of the ship to prevent it from being thrown against the hull, the flow of the current against these stones would hold the front of the ship into the current.” (The Boat-Shaped Object on Doomsday Mountain” by Mary Nell Wyatt)"
