   “Turkish website however, have hailed the finding as a great hoax as, an image of the alleged Ark has a spider web on it which scientists say is impossible as spiders cannot live in those temperatures and altitude.”

   Even this statement of faith by Turkish Media may proof to be folly upon themselves! There is a lot world we do not know about animals. There are documented cases of recently discovered new birds/insects found at great altitudes in high mountain areas. Granted, its tropical.

   The fact that there is a spiders web is proof of life in impossible conditions.

   giving media attention to these people is depriving them of the psychological help they need.

   if you believe this, you are retarded and im ashamed to say we are of the same species.

   Hoax possibly? but I just find it amazing how quickly people want to say its a hoax. If its not then you have to accept alot of things that you dont want to.

   The spider web claim is ridiculous. The Euophrys omnisuperstes lives at a higher altitude in harsher conditions. So the claim of Spiders not living at that altitude is wrong.

   Where did the photo with the spiderweb come from? I have been to the actual Chinese website and did not see that as one of the photos released and there is nothing that looks like that photo in any of the video footage. Is the Turkish website using a hoax to show a hoax?

6. B Phinney - 30 April 2010 | 15:09

   

   I have heard of insects and other creatures such as spiders surviving at high altitudes and cold temps. I don’t think this is proof that the ark is a hoax. We need to study it more.

7. David - 30 April 2010 | 15:57

   

   If (big IF) the photo is really from the newly discovered site, there might be another explanation. Perhaps there were spiders on the ark, and that web has been preserved by the cold temperatures and remote environment just like the spider left it. There’s obviously not been anything there to disturb it, so why couldn’t it be preserved just like anything else?

   The discovery is fantastic but the question is — how can we prove that this is Noah’s ark or something belonged to the ancient communities resided there. Am worried of the way currently religions look for things that draw people’s attention as the way the business companies do–so it had to believe on their claims sometimes

   How could a 4800 year old and man made 4000 metre boat be a hoax. This is truly a miracle. Wow.

10. Bailey K - 30 April 2010 | 17:19

    

    I also don’t see why a web would make it a hoax. You must be afraid of the Lord to not believe. He does amazing things. Just because HE doesn’t wait on humans hand and foot does not mean HE doesn’t exsist. You have to be pretty pathetic to think this is a hoax. Honestly its 4000 metres ! How could someone hoax that. Thank you Lord for letting this be discovered. Now please protect it for humanity. I really do hope its not made a tourist place because people are aweful and will prolly vandalise it.

    though, it could be a hoax, i think we should keep our minds open, it may not be a hoax and everyone who says it is a hoax with have there bubles poped and they will look like complete idiots. im not saying that anyone who says its a hoax is stupid or anything im just saying not to jump to conclusions on things. it may turn out to be true.

12. thomas - 30 April 2010 | 19:35

    

    all that is going on now shows the limitation of human , believe or not, it doesn’t matter cause if we searh for other findings on the net, we can see another finding with plenty of evidences more than a decade ago. what do we see here, confusion? to people who believe in God, you have experienced Him in your heart and you dont need physical proofs that are confusing. pls refer to Bible for what Jesus thought about miracles

    Why would the lady be wearing earrings ? She’s camping in the ice climbing into abyss while wearing 2 inch earrings that would freeze her earlobes ?

    How interesting!

15. Noah’s Ark Found? « Hdrkid’s Blog - 01 May 2010 | 01:32

    [...] Ark were found on Mount Ararat. OK, the elevation is approx 14,000 feet. Could this be that Noah’s Ark was discovered by Chinese explorers? Time will tell [...]

16. seekandfind - 01 May 2010 | 01:34

    

    The hoax theory must be upheld just like any other. To keep their find a secret for two years does not validate a hoax theory, neither does finding scientifically unapproved life, materials, or artefacts at great altitudes warrant a hoax claim be true. So far these explorers are standing by their story. We must give space for them to prove to the world that they have made a noteworthy find.

17. Rich - 01 May 2010 | 03:06

    

    who besides a jealous Randall Price even says definitively that is even a spider web in the first place. Why is Randall Price the word concerning a hoax. He’s knows for a fact that 2 additiona sites were exmined that he was not present at. He left is 2008-where’s his evidence?

18. Timeline Man - 01 May 2010 | 05:44

    

    Google 2800 BC. What you get is a series of timelines which show the world history uninterrupted from Asia to the Atlantic Ocean. The world was not flooded. The story of the Ark is an allegory adopted by numerous civilizations. Why must it be literal to convey its message?

19. Judy Moore - 01 May 2010 | 15:56

    

    I knew a man in the 1970s who was looking for the ark. They knew it was in the mountains of Ararat. More recently with satellite imaging it could be seen in the ice. It IS the ark, and a warning to the world God is about to judge the world again, this time with fire. Laugh if you want while you can. The signs are all about us and the Bible is very clear. What more could God do. He said that even if one rose from the dead, they would not believe. One did rise from the dead 2000 years ago. Israel is a nation again. We are in the last days.

    The Ark has been discovered on Ararat for Millenia’s before. Marco Polo wrote of it, the Kazar’s believed this to be true, Anyone who doubts should doubt every book in history. Josephus knew of the Ark, the indigenous peoples of the region believe it and have known of the Ark their whole history, why should anyone doubt the discovery? although it will be hard to find the whole ark as it is broken in sections because of earthquakes in the region and has been moving with the glacier its resting in.
    Believe- It’s 100% True, anyone who dose not believe this is possible must have never seen footage of a nuke blowing up! Nuke’s have been detonated on our earth, something the size of a VW Bug, blowing up Hiroshima, and you doubt that the world was ever flooded? Ive seen a vessel fly into Space, and you think a boat could not have been built 5100 years ago? You think we evolved? We were always intelligent life. Man was always able to create. You forget, We were made by God, in God’s image, and we have the knowledge of good and evil, we can create! We exist, why is it so hard to believe in a miracle, when life itself is a miracle.

    The Scientist who said spiders cannot live at that altitude apparently doesn’t know about Jumping spiders – shows that a lot of people who are being quoted are talking off the top of their head – Jumping spiders live in a variety of habitats. Tropical forests harbor the most species, but they are also found in temperate forests, scrub lands, deserts, intertidal zones, and even mountains. Euophrys omnisuperstes is a species reported to have been collected at the highest elevation, on the slopes of Mount Everest.[4]

    Jumping spiders are generally recognized by their eye pattern.

    By faith, I know a world-wide flood occured. There’s plenty of evidence all over. You’re hanging with a very narrow croud of scientists. On the other hand, just because settlements have not been found above 3,500 meters doesn’t mean this cannot be the first settlement above 4,000. Right? Stay open. Its a terrific find either way. Ark or dwellings.
    I don’t know about the alledged “spider”. I would need to enlarge that photo.

    Very exciting!!!

    Its definitely a structure preserved so its an honest find. If all details line up no one can control that or try to manipulate the facts. Time will soon tell! If there is a God. Than he would reveal it!

24. paul - 02 May 2010 | 14:12

    

    I don’t understand how Christians can be excited by the potential find of Noah’s ark.
    ” look everybody here is proof that a being of so called higher intelligence, without a second thought wiped out and killed potentially millions of innocent men women , children and animals. and let one guy sort out the mess. You all must be so proud of yourselves for worshipping such a deity. All religions are just a hand hold for the weak of mind and those that have no faith in themselves. get a life and use a little logic.Man built boat, boat used in flood,saves himself and his farm animals, boat ended up on a mountain side,they survived, smart man. no god needed.

25. Sam - 02 May 2010 | 14:57

    

    Granted that the spider photo itself is not a hoax, during the summers of >4000 yrs, no doubt many of which had been very mild where life forms creep up the mountain along with different grasses. The ark would be a pocket of warmth just as a mountain hut is for us. After the earth engulfing deluge of Noah, the ice-ages would not have occurred as yet. The pre-flood green house effect was removed during the cataclysmic atmospheric event allowing the atmosphere to warm first but then cool rapidly. This is why we find Mammoths in Siberia, snap frozen with food still in their mouths

26. Issy - 02 May 2010 | 16:16

    

    The fact that there was flood and also Noah made the ark does not gurantee this finding to tell us this what Noah made– we need more evidence to prove– am afraid we can be taken just by faith and agree on things that are not true– In acient time people believed on Sun and even now people have different believes — so we should avoid taken by a mere faith and forget science to help us prove

27. bt - 06 May 2010 | 00:33

    

    I believe the flood happened. This sounds very intriguing.

28. David Rohl - 18 May 2010 | 20:45

    

    Have you considered when nails were first invented/used? Noah’s Ark was a ship. So when were metal nails first used in ship construction? If there are nails in this ‘find’ then it is either much much later in date or the hoaxers are not very good at their job.

29. KraKen - 15 August 2010 | 10:23

    

    Stupid News,…uneducated reader will believe this is true but not for me….this is Hoax, can u see the web spider hanging there?on 4000 meter above sea level?? u kidding me man..wake up and wash your body, u should re-fresh your brain.

30. KraKen - 15 August 2010 | 10:41

    

    If I were on board with Noah and landed on Mount Agri Dagri or else, I’d rather using the ship construction for building a big house for 80 people and a masjid . Why should Noah left the ship empty behind him and burried by mud? no he is not. Noah clever enough to use the ship material for survive on the new land.
