Description: The Ark of Noah is the story behind one of the greatest archaeological finds of the century. Read either as an astonishing story of Archaeological detection, or as an undeniable confirmation of the Old Testament account of Noah's Ark, this book is important beyond question. David Fasold has become fascinated with the centuries-old mystery of Noah;s Ark and decided to search for it himself. Heading one of the last teams allowed excavation rights in Turkey, he deduced the Ark landed not on Mount Ararat, as had been popularly thought, but on Mount Mhser Dagi (the Doomsday Mountain) some seventeen miles south of the traditional site. An outlined structure has been uncovered on Mahser Dagi in a 1948 earthquake, but geologists had reckoned in to be a natural object. David Fasold's translations and interpretations of the Sumerian accounts of the Great Flood led him inexorably back to Mahser Dagi. He uncovered stone sculptures previously thought to be totem or steles dating from the proper period. In fact, these carved monoliths were deemed anchors from a seagoing craft - a craft Fasold determined to be the Ark of Noah. Fasold's team ascended Mahser Dagi and found the remains of a boat whose dimensions exactly matched those given in Genesis. To his surprise, drilling samples revealed the boat to be made not of wood, as was commonly supposed, but of reed and pumice, and constructed using techniques historically coincident to Noah's time. After the discovery, Fasold's site was sealed off and officially declared the landing place of Noah's Ark by the Turkish government. Filled with incontrovertible photos of the actual Ark, as well as documents of the material analysis, David Fasold's The Ark of Noah is a compelling addition to the world of popular archaeology.
