In biblical legend, Noah's Ark saved humanity and finally docked at the foot of Mount Ararat. After a relentless trek, explorers found a ship-shaped rock in Mount Ararat, so is it Noah's Ark?
"Noah's Ark" is a fascinating legend from the biblical Book of Genesis. In ancient times, God created heaven and earth, and finally man. Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden for stealing the forbidden fruit. After that, Cain cursed his brother and unveiled the prelude to the killing of human beings against each other, and humanity was branded with original sin. God cursed the land, and people had to work hard to feed themselves, so resentment and evil thoughts grew. People are endlessly fighting, fighting, plundering each other, committing many sins that God cannot tolerate.
After the ark was made, Noah and his family and some other animals boarded the boat. Soon, it began to rain. It rained for forty consecutive days, and everything on the ground was washed away by the water. The water flowed all the way to the top of the mountain, and all but the beings riding on Noah's Ark died. After the rain stopped, Noah's Ark floated in the ocean for 7 days, and finally anchored in the Ararat Mountains.
Is Noah's Ark real, or is it pure fiction? In eastern Turkey there is a high mountain more than 5,000 meters above sea level, called Mount Ararat. According to the Christian Bible, the Ark was a huge wooden box with a displacement of 43,000 tons, and Noah's Ark stopped at Mount Ararat after the Great Flood. Did Noah's Ark stop at Mount Ararat? In the past, although there were many rumors that the Ark was discovered, they were only rumors. Noah's Ark is truly a mystery.
Does the mystery stop at Mount Ararat? In 1949, russian pilot Roskovsky took the first photograph of Noah's Ark. The photograph shows a vague dark spot under the thick layer of ice at the top of the mountain, so many experts suspect that it is the "Noah's Ark" recorded in the Bible. However, due to the steep terrain of the Ararat Mountains and the long-term isolation of the local population, the conjecture about "Noah's Ark" has remained a mystery for more than half a century.
