satelite pics of Noah's ark on mount ararat

[aserecuba]

http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/science....ap/index.html

to make a long story short in 1949 satellites captured an anomaly on mount ararat, turkey. It looked like a man made formation hundreds of feet long. after examination by the experts the pictures were classified by the CIA. more pictures were later taken in 1977 + those were also classified. Some archeologists and scientists under the "Freedom of Information laws" managed to get a couple of them released. why am i bringing this up you might ask.. well apparently the pictures caused such an uproar that recently released documents indicate it went up all the way to the white house.


anyway what sparked my interesting in this subject again is that it was just announced on cnn that a group of 10 scientists with permission from the turkish government will attempt to climb mount ararat to the site of the anomaly.

and without further delay here are the satellite pictures that were released under the "freedom of information laws" take into note that the archelogists and scientists that filed the lawsuit for some pics to be released were denied countless times until finally 6 ( alot more were alleged to have been taken between 1949 - 2000 )

the pics are at different angles and different seasons sometimes covered by snow others not.

here are the pics

quote from Intelligence official on condition of anonymity.

"former high-ranking U.S. intelligence official who has seen a satellite photograph of the site produced around 1973 said analysts at the time were surprised when close-ups revealed what looked like three large curved wooden beams -- resembling part of the hull of a boat -- protruding from the snow.

"They sort of curved over and formed up what would have been the bow of something or other poking out of the ice," the former official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Enlargements of the spy photographs also produced what appeared to be "striations" on the formation that gave the appearance of what was once wood, he said. "

I remember hearing about this years ago on Unsolved Mysteries and other shows. I guess since the commie Russkies don't exist anymore, ppl can actually go up there and check it out.

because you say so, time traveller? theres geological evidence that the earth was indeed flooded.

doesnt look like a big rock to me.

Haha,Maybe in certan areas..Like areas in the middle east..the mediteranian at certan times for certan reasons....

But there is NO GEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE SHOWING THE WHOLE EARTH WAS EVER FLOODED.



except for continental plate shifting millions of years ago*

wow
you must be an expert at photo geology eh?

can tell forms in pictures that experts can event decide?


interesting

that looks like a diseased penis

Hey...The experts say it's a rock also.

thats where you wrong the pictures were analyzed by 7 scientists. 4 said it was a boat, 2 said it was a natural formation, 1 couldnt dicide.

I saw a show on the discovery channel a few weeks ago about the story of noah's ark and a bunch of historians/bible experts concluded that noah's enormous ark was nothing more than a small barge. And the so called flooding of the earth was nothing more than a tropical storm. Apparently the barge floated out into the middle of the persian gulf so the planet appeared to be flooded from the point of view of whomever was on the barge. Then they said the story was recorded on stone tablets and became greatly exaggerated as it was passed down from generation to generation until it finally reached the minds of the guys who made up the bible. They manipulated the story to prove a point about people pissing of "god". Oh and after the storm, noah supposedly was exiled to some other country where he lived out his days...so the whole planet was not flooded or wiped out.

Not sure if the show is telling the truth, but it makes a helluva lot more sense than the fairy tale in the bible.

Doesn't exactly look like ship either.

4 out of 7 said it was an arc? wow thats ****ing amazing 57% confidence, try that on your next test. SORRY TEACH i got a ****in 4/7 i win!

[aserecuba]

anyway I guess we'll just have to wait and see. but it is a fact that the CIA classified the pictures as soon as they were snapped and it went all the way up to the white house.

midwest, why are you being an ass? 4 of 7 is enough at least it shows that it might be a rock, or that it might not. theres no precise proof either way.

Either
1. the scientists were below average in the field of I.Q.
2.They were devoted christians.
3.They were KooKs who just like to claim the best on everything.
4.you are a liar.

5.Im still right,the experts(if their actually experts) still claimed it was a rock...expert"s"....So im still right.

[jread]

Interesting.... I would like to see what it is as well.

If it is Noah's Ark, then all the Christians will finally get to have their "told ya so" moment.

If it isn't, then they will still deny that the bible is a bunch of fairytales.

funny **** is so if these scientists say its a boat then you automatically say oh they must be christian or below average?lol, its not use argueing with you because you turn everything around to fit what you say. im simply posting the pics and articles. believe what you want.. and how am i a liar?

Think of it this way...THere is just not enough water on the entire earth to cover up the entire earth.

even with all frozen ice melted into water...there's still not enough.


the only way for there to be enough would be for the ocean floors to somehow rise...and the depth of the ocean decrease alot...and also for all glaciers to be unforzen...maybe then there would be enough water to cover all land.


But the story just does not scientificaly fit.

I don't think there is even evidence that arafat has even been under water in the past 10,000(which is how old the bible says the earth is,and noahs ark would have had to exist before that) years....Is there?

And Im 100% sure,there is no evidence the entire earth has ever been underwather in the past 10,000 years(or ever,except for continental plate movement)....I mean it just does not exist,nor will it ever.


and might I add...a hell of alot more scientists and experts have looked at the photos than 7 since they have been published...Id say in the area of thousands.

It takes a scientist to differentiate between a rock and a boat?

Wow, next time i go to the marina I'll be sure to bring a scientist with me so I don't sink; Those pesky rocks sure are tricky!

and since when does God and science go hand in hand? an I might add , i know. but theres no evidence either way, thats why they are going up there.

and as for the water. the bible says that the firmaments were open, basically water flowed from everywhere. did you know that the earth's mantle holds enough water to replace all the oceans, rivers, and lakes of the world 10 times.? look it up yourself. so trust me there is enough water.

[BigZeke]

Those photos are poor quality. Maybe if they get some in better quality we can see for sure. Or they could just send someone up there to look at the thing.

50% is not proven beyond a reasonable doubt im not being an ******* you're being an overhopefuly jesus freak

guess what? if proven not to be i couldnt give a rat's ass. i was just posting pics. Yes I believe in God but if that is not the ark then too bad. it wont chance my stance.
