Noah's Ark Search: Turkish authorities are at cross-purposes
A group of Turkish and Chinese explorers from the “Noah’s Ark Ministries International” have announced that they had found Noah’s Ark, 4000m up, on the famous Mount Ararat.
Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers say they have found wooden remains on Mount Ararat and claim carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old, around the same time the ark was said to be afloat.
“It’s not 100 per cent that it is Noah’s Ark but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it,” said Mr Yeung Wing-Cheung from the Noah's Ark Ministries International research team.
Meanwhile, the Turkish authorities have denied these statements, Hurriyet paper reported citing the administration of the Agri Province of Turkey.
