    So many web sites today are buzzing that final the story of Noah's Ark can be final confirmed.
    Noah's Ark was Supposedly found by Chinese, Turkish evangelical exploration Team on Turkey’s
    Mount Ararat and is claiming their 99.9% sure that it is.{Like in the past}

    Many researchers have claimed "There's not enough H2O in the world to get an ark that high up a mountain,"

    If someone had said six goat herders had built the Titanic I'd be just as believing.

    How long would it take six guys, one very, very old, to cut 25,000 board feet of lumber? BY HAND, no power tools.

    Then, we have koalas and 'roos walking in from Australia. :confused:

    Next thing you know, someone will be claiming Diefenbaker didn't scrap the Avro Arrow, but had them hidden in Area 51.

    You quote reminded me of this joker:
    Jack F. Grimm, 72, Is Dead - A Seeker of Oil and Legends - Obituary; Biography - NYTimes.com
    Noah's Ark, "Nessie", the Titanic...This guy did it all. Must've had some real deep pockets.

    Those pegs were used to help hang materials, I've seen them in use.

    The article says the wood is 5000 years old, and that they used mortice and tenon construction.

    What is the earliest known use of mortice and tenon in shipbuilding?

    Kuhfus(?) Ship near the Great Pyramids has some Mortise and Tennon joints and it dates from around 2500BC. It's amazing what the human hand can accomplish when it is not distracted by the internet or cable TV.

    It certainly wasn't built for sailing the open ocean.........I think it was intended only to deliver Khufu to the after life and was designed more to be dragged accross sand then through water

    Well, using Ussher's chronology, the Flood occurred about 2300 BC. If you buy it.

    Personally, I think the Flood stories, prevalent across the world, may reflect an event that happened about 7000 BC when the Black Sea Basin flooded during a period of human occupation.

    Actually, Bishop Ussher postulated the Creation as the "the beginning of the night which preceded the 23rd of October in the year 710 of the Julian period" (Julian date) 4004 BC, based on his interpretation of the events in the Bible. For more, see this site Bishop James Ussher Sets the Date for Creation: October 23, 4004 B.C.

    It was thus identified as the world's oldest intact ship and has been described as "a masterpiece of woodcraft" that could sail today if put into water.[1] However, the vessel may not have been designed for sailing (no rigging) or paddling (no room).

    This is an ancient joint and has been found joining the wooden planks of the "Khufu ship",[2]
