Noah's Ark remains found burned and buried 30 feet below final resting place
nypost.comIn spite this is in the science section, I cant find a paper published in a peer review journal, only an article in the Daily Mail https://www.dailymail.com/sciencetech/article-16243863/noahs...
Don’t they mean Utnapishtim’s Ark? I think his story had a thousand years on Noah.
In Mesopotamian narratives Utanapishtim is the Flood Hero, tasked by the god Enki to create a giant ship to be called Preserver of Life in preparation for a giant flood that will wipe out all life.
A lot of religious myths where extensions of prior art --- including resurrection.
In mythology, gods were brought back from the dead long before Jesus' disciples found it necessary to play catch up.
Mt Ararat is 16000 ft above sea level. Where did all that water come from and where did it disappear to?
And how did the kangaroos swim from Turkey to Australia?
Not as difficult as one might think. Turns out there is an immense amount of water locked up underground in mineral deposits “three times greater than all of Earth's surface oceans combined.”
Unusual tectonic activity may have caused it to release and reabsorb.
Also remote glacial shifts could explain periods of immense flooding. And then there is the Euphrates.
Or tsunamis.
Lots of evidence of immense floods throughout history.
Apparently the sphinx shows signs that it sat in a rainy jungle once upon a time. Over a long enough time line no one can really say what’s been going on.

Not according to the Bible story.
The water all fell from the sky as rain.
And all of it happened (both the release and the evaporation) within 30 days --- otherwise, the animals would have all died from starvation --- which should have happened anyway because after such a massive flood, all the food sources would have been washed away and covered under mud and silt.
Bottom line: This story is about as logical as flying reindeer.
Gen 7-11: In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the flood gates of heaven were opened:
"fountains of the great deep" is under the earth obv.

The water is there now, 'Earth may have underground 'ocean' three times that on surface' : https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/jun/13/earth-may-ha...
The water is the normal ocean water.
Plate tectonics, fossilized remains of fish/animals in the desert, and an uneducated population demanding answers from the priest/leadership class explains the rest.
They just made it up. For control.
"God told [the elites], you must obey [the elites], or else."
Evidence: We still tell our children outrageously fraudulent stories with embedded morals in order to alter their behavior.
It's the most likely explanation we have.
In other words, this story is about as logical as flying reindeer. "Magic" is the only way to explain it.
They've found it at least 4 times in my lifetime, iirc.
Oh jeez! Not this crap again.
