/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Recently released satellite images
of an unknown formation or object on Mt. Ararat in
Turkey have added fuel to archeologists’ ongoing quest
to find Noah’s ark. The `new and significant
development,’ an image from a QuickBird satellite, is
relevant because the high-resolution view shows
clearer detail of a `ship-like object … 1,015 feet in
length,’ Porcher Taylor, a professor of national
security law, told Space.com. Taylor has spent 13
years investigating the mysterious item. Taken over
the northwest corner of Mt. Ararat, the picture shows
a long, dark object – or rock formation, some
say-resting sideways in glacial ice at an elevation of
15,300 feet. While Taylor says he has no agenda for
his investigation, he aims to expose the irregularity
in the mountain’s geography for whatever it is. And
then he wants to make it visibly accessible for
public, scientific and scholarly critique. Despite
some enthusiasts’ conviction about the object’s
history, others hesitate to declare it the biblical
ark – or any kind of manmade object. `My gut instinct is
that it’s natural phenomena,’ said Bill Crouse,
president of Christian Information Ministries, who
twice has led archeological expeditions to the
mountains of southern Turkey. `What I find when I
analyze these photos is that this is naturally
occurring,’ he said, but then added, `of course, you
never say never.’
