8Note Before Ron Wyatt passed away
in 2000, he had made claims not only of
discovering and proving Noahs ark but also who
claims to have found virtually every
archaeological site of interest to Christians.
His alleged finds are nothing short of
astonishing and include of The true site of
the crucifixion The Ark of the Covenant The
true Mount Sinai (with a plaque announcing it as
such) The site of Korahs earthquake The
true site of the Israelites Red Sea crossing,
also with a marker built by King Solomon as a
memorial Chariot wheels from Pharaohs drowned
army The actual rock Moses struck to release
water Noahs grave Noahs house Mrs
Noahs grave (containing a fortuneher gold and
jewelry) Moses stone tablets containing the
Ten Commandments, held together with golden
hinges Reputable creationists long ago
distanced and disassociated themselves with him
and his research and reputation
convincing claims stands up.
9- Others like Bill Crouse have argued the ark is
on Mount Judi (Cudi in Turkish, in southeast
Turkey) rather than Ararat - In 2008, Bob Cornuke released a DVD that argues
the ark actually landed on another mountain range
in the Elburz Mountains, Mount Suleiman, about 54
miles from Tehran, the capital of Iran. - Previously (2001) Cornuke was convinced that the
Ark had landed on Mount Sabalan in Iran (his
research has been challenged by many Christians
to publish his findings in a peer-reviewed
publication, but he has not yet and thus is
questionable at best) - http//www.noahsarksearch.com/Cornuke_The_Search_F
or_Noah's_Ark_DVD_Review.htm -
10Another recent news release (not covered much by
mainstream media) suggests its none of those
mountain ranges at all.
Where has the ark been discovered?
