Satellite closes in on Noah Ark (heaven, Christ)

Apologies if this has been posted already, i've only just seen it myself.

I thought there was already something similar in another mountain? We'll see what happens.

Will this really change what people think? I can see scientific types already writing their counter-arguments.

There has been a running thread in another section about this but I'll post this thought here......If that is Noah's Ark, how would all those animals get down from a 15,000ft mountain? That isn't exactly an easy hike.

I doubt it. But it's a possibility...

I can't tell from the photo, but I do believe in the story as true. I wish the Turks would let us go up there and get it, but I doubt it will happen until Christ's Millenial Reign after the Great Tribulation. From my research, though, I definetely believe in Noah's Ark and the Great Flood, no doubt about it for me.

If the US has intelligence satellites that can zoom in to see individual people milling around a miliatry compound, why don't they zoom in a little closer on this anomoly?

Also, is it really all that dang hard to put together an expedition to this mountain? Let's face it--people have climbed Mount Everst and dog-sledded to the South Pole. Is it really being prevented by the Turks? For heavens sake--we're allies!

The original photo is from a recon sat picture. It was liberated by the Freedom of Information Act. I suppose it would be possible to put a Predator drone over the area and get detailed shots, but that would be mui expensive.

Nobody has dogsledded to the south pole. Sled dogs and polar bears operate in arctic climes, but in the antarctic regions there is nothing to feed them - sled dogs tend to eat frozen fish and there are no frozen fish to be found in the interior of the Antarctic continent. The British expedition to the south pole tried to use ponies, but they failed miserably, the whole party died, while Amundsen, the Norwegian made it on foot.

I don't see how you get an ark out of that... Looks like natural terrain to me.

[lunamoth]

No dogs. Really.

Amundsen

Roald Amundsen (1872-1928)

Roald Amundsen was the first man to lead a successful expedition to the South Pole. Famously arriving about a month before Scott and his party that set out at around the same time. Amundsen used dog sleds, his party was well organised and well prepared with the primary intention of reaching the pole, rather than other exploration or scientific discovery.
