New Satellite Evidence for Noah's Ark

"And on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible. "

(Genesis 8:4-5)

The question of whether or not Noah's Ark actually rests today on the Mountains of Ararat in Turkey has long amazed Biblical scholars, archaeologists and those interested in defending the historical accounts recorded in the Bible.

1829 Dr. Freidrich Parrott, who had made an ascent of Greater Ararat, wrote in his Journey to Ararat that "all the Armenians are firmly persuaded that Noah's Ark remains to this very day on the top of Ararat, and that, in order to preservation no human being is allowed to approach it."

In 1876 James Bryce, historian, statesman, diplomat, explorer, and Professor of Civil Law at Oxford, climbed above the tree line and found a slab of hand-hewn timber, four feet long and five inches thick, which he identified as being from the Ark.

In 1883 the British Prophetic Messenger and others reported that Turkish commissioners investigating avalanches had seen the Ark.


In the early 1970's, noted Evangelical apologist and scholar John Warwick Montgomery visited the mountain range of Ararat and recorded what he says is insurmountable evidence that Noah's Ark is physically on Mount Ararat today. Montgomery's documentation for Noah's Ark can be read in his amazing book entitled,

The Quest for Noah's Ark, Bethany Fellowship, 1972, 2nd edition, Pyramid, 1974.

Recently, new satellite evidence for Noah's Ark has been released indicating that there is a rather large structural "anomaly" resting on Mount Ararat today. Could this really be the Noah's Ark mentioned in Genesis 8 written some 4,000 years ago? You decide, the evidence seems to point to the fact that the Ark still rests on Ararat today.
