Quote: “A large hard rock slab from the Miocene limestone unit at the top was brought down by a slump type landslide” and “and the earthflow mechanisms combined with the effects of glaciation and glacial meltdown processes, transformed the slab into a ship-like feature which astonishingly resembled to a man-made structure.”Baumgardner, John (Institute of Creation Research Geophysicist)
1988. Ararat Report, September.
Quote: “Our conclusions from the summer’s work are that some of the site’s important features can now be understood in terms of clay and rock debris flowing around an isolated block.”Bayraktutan, Salih (Turkish Professor of Geology)
2002. Private conversation, September. Quoted in Noah’s Ark: Ancient Accounts and New Discoveries, 2nd ed., 2017.
Quote: “We have a boat-shaped object at an elevation of 2,000 meters that did not occur naturally. We haven’t found anything that refutes the possibility of this being Noah’s Ark. We can see signs of specific structures in our scannings that are not naturally occurring. The way in which the object is thought to have traveled down the mountain in a mudslide is very interesting. We have found signs of an early civilization up on this mountain, etc., etc., etc.”Burdick, Clifford (American Geologist)
