They are starting to drill at an alleged site of Noah's Ark. Lets have a Biblical archaeology thread (Page 2 of 3)

(I've been following this one) I believe a recent expedition found ancient (per carbon dating) wood, at this site. If I am not mistaken, I believe that the Bible also references the Mountains of Ararat, as the final resting place of Noah's Ark. As a Christian - this kind of stuff, fascinates me. ETA - I also believe that I saw/read, that this sites dimensions - almost exactly corresponds to the Biblical dimensions of the Ark. |

If you look at it in Google Maps and pan around, you can see these kinds of ridges are common in the area, so it is likely just some kind natural occurrence. The ballast stones have been tested to be the same as the local rock. Which would not match the biblical story. |

It would be neat for a archaeological perspective, but I already have my belief system in place. |

What if the reason they haven't dug up the site of Gobekli Tepe is that it would disprove monotheism and the timeline of the bible? 1. The bible makes reference to the existence of other gods, but we are to worship the one, Lord God, if you will (Who came to Earth in the flesh and is Jesus Christ). 2. Nobody knows the precise timeline of events Genesis. I say dig up the site. It will not disprove anything. |

1 Peter 3:15 The Greek Phrase"...ἕτοιμοι ἀεὶ πρὸς ἀπολογίαν παντὶ τῷ αἰτοῦντι ὑμᾶς λόγον περὶ τῆς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐλπίδος..." ἀπολογίαν (apologian): A defense / a reasoned reply. But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." |

Originally Posted By cyclone: I'm not sure that even exists on Earth any longer.......or its buried under the Temple Mount The Ark of the Covenant is absent from the Arch of Titus. So the Romans didn’t get it when they looted the Second Temple. For those that don’t know (and it is a wonderful addition to this thread) in Rome, to this day, carved in stone, is a depiction of the Romans carrying away the treasures (as described in the Bible) from the Second Temple. The Arch of Titus was built not long after the sacking of Jerusalem. Many of the Temple treasures were even put on public display in Rome. Many contemporary writers, including travelers through Rome, talk about seeing them. What is notably absent is the Ark of the Covenant. (There are various theories why, but they all revolve around the Ark not being there at that time) As a tangent, the treasures taken from the Second Temple are what financed the building of the Roman Colosseum. There is also a long standing belief that the Roman Catholic Church has these relics to this day. They quite possibly did at one point but the sacking of Rome probably saw them taken. https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/archaeology-today/cultural-heritage/true-colors-the-arch-of-titus/ |

The person most likely to lie is the appeal-to-authority proponent of the Narrative. Such an agent operates under the premise that, since the Narrative is true, one small, harmless hyperbolic misrepresentation on their part is not only acceptable but necessary to both persuade others of that truth and advance their own notoriety in identifying with it. The problem arises when the official Narrative is built upon a monumental stack of such small fabrications, compounded over time by the Lindy effect a structure made of 20% induction and 80% awesome insistence. |

Perhaps it is in the Quran or some traditional based on that. Like Europe and Africa and South America has all kinds of pages traditions in orbit around Christianity, there are lots of similar things in orbit around some Islamic lands. |

Where do you guys get this ridiculous Idiocracy shit? It's apologetics in action. They need a narrative that dismisses any data that conflicts with their beliefs. People who are trained that way do it with everything. |

You'll be singing a different tune. They just put out a bid invite and hire companies there, just like the rest of the US. Doesn't matter on private land in that state anyway unless there is some federal or state involvement with waterways or burials or whatever. Seriously though, where did that line of thinking come from? |

I didn’t borrow a weenie-candela headlamp because I had a Surefire torch with no brightness settings, so alternated between burning my hand as I covered the lamp to dim it a bit or conversely letting the lumens fly and kept blinding everyone. |
