Several years ago, a group of explorers from Hong Kong and Turkey climbed Turkey’s Mount Ararat and discovered a structure that seems to highly resemble the ark that Noah built. Carbon testing also seems to date the findings back to that time period (almost 5000 years ago).
Although some are skeptical, there have been many attempts over the past few hundred years to locate Noah’s ark. Finding the ark has become a truly fascinating enterprise and many have sought it in various mountains in Turkey, Kurdistan, and Iran.
What makes the ark so compelling for so many? the ark seems to be a link to the world’s past. A way to see how God works in the world. Today everything is hidden and people are looking for signs on Turkey’s mountaintops. It might be interesting to look for God in our own lives as well as modern world history.
