Archaeologist Counters Critics: Mount Ararat Discovery is a Prehistoric Site. | Science News | Scoop.it
Harvard University educated archaeologist and director of the Paleontological Research Corporation, Joel Klenck, reported that there was archaeological merit to a large wood structure near the summit of Mount Ararat discovered by a Kurdish guide, Ahmet “Parasut” Ertugrul. An organization from Hong Kong, Noah’s Ark Ministries International, reported the discovery as the remains of the legendary vessel. In 2010, Turkish geology and archaeology professors, Ahmet Özbek and Oktay Belli, cited the excellent preservation and comprehensive archaeological assemblages within the edifice. However, Randall Price from Liberty University and Don Patton from Creation Ministries International claim the site is a hoax.
