In July 1943, U.S. Army sergent, Ed Davis, was stationed in Iran. He developed a close friendship with some of the Lur tribesmen (a related group of the Kurds) who said they knew the location of Noah’s Ark.

According with his own words which fully details the whole experience on "noahsarksearch.com" (told by Robin Simmons as it appeared on the Begin Davis statement), this is what he saw:

---Quote---
"Something happened to me in '43 that's haunted me all my life..

I'm in the 363rd Army Corps of Engineers working out of a base in Hamadan (ancient Persian capital city of Ecbatane), Iran. We're building a Way Station into Russia from Turkey. A supply route.

...One day in July, his grandfather, Abas-Abas (a Lur tribal leader), visits our base and tells Badi the ice on Ararat is melting to where you can see part of the Ark. Badi tells me if I want to see it they will take me there. ...At dawn the next day, we reach the foothills of Ararat and arrive at another primitive village. Abas tells me the name of the village means "Where Noah Planted The Vine."

...After they finish praying, Badi Abas points down into a kind of horseshoe crevasse and says, 'That's Noah's Ark.' But I can't see anything. Everything's the same color and texture. Then I see it, a huge, rectangular, man-made structure partly covered by a talas of ice and rock, lying on its side. At least a hundred feet are clearly visible. I can even see inside it, into the end where it's been broken off, timbers are sticking out, kind of twisted and gnarled, water's cascading out from under it...

...Abas points down the canyon and I can make out another portion of it. I can see how the two pieces were once joined, the torn timbers kind of match. They told me the Ark is broken into three of four big pieces. Inside the broken end of the biggest piece, I can see at least three floors and Abas says there's a living space near the top with forty-eight rooms. He says there are cages inside as small as my hand, others big enough to hold a family of elephants.

I can see what looks like remains of partitions and walkways inside the bigger piece. I really want to touch it -- it's hard to explain the feeling. Abas says we can go down on ropes in the morning. It begins to rain and we go back to the cave...

...It takes five days to get off the mountain and back to my base. I smell so bad when I get back, they burn my clothes. And no one seems interested in what I saw, so I quit talking about it. But I dream about it every night for twenty years.

There's something up there..."
