Is it just me or does everyone else get really angry everytime they read an article about noah's ark. I mean the only damn mention they ever give of Armenia is to say that it is in turkey near the borders of armenia azerbaijan and iran. like wtf. maybe acknowledge the fact that that was our land for almost 3,000 years and that its our national symbol?

It bothers me that Noah's Arc is mentioned because it never phucking existed. The Old Testament is nonsense. When are people going to understand this. What the bastard supposedly did is utterly impossible. And beyond that, idle wood that old would have rotted away so long ago that you would not be able to find its remains. Screw Noah, screw the arc, screw the Old Testament and screw all of the morons that now say it is all symbolic because the description of a lineage is negated by symbolism.

Uh oh, Dusken nails a low blow to the Tigran. Will Tigran respond with force? I sense a potentially good battle with this one.

i was watching a program on ararat and noahs ark on tv a week or so ago, it was rather interesting.

It was not a low blow to Tigran; it was a blow to the mind-control maniacs that plagiarized stories and compiled them in the monstrosity known as the Old Testament and the people the need it.

i dont give a xxxx about all that. im just pissed we dont get credit for that being our mountain. but you are wrong on one point at least. that wood would not have rotted away. this is not the middle of the rainforest it is at the top of one of the tallest mountains in the world in a pretty high latitude. there are very low temperatures and the wood would not have rotted by now.

[dusken]

Right. Five thousand years in moisture.

And biblically, there were no nations at the time so if they are referring to the arc as some sort of fact, then "historically" they would not need to mention Armenia. Saying it was in Armenia until eighty years ago when the Turks marched in and stole the land would be a tangent like none other.

i happen to agree with you dusken, its pretty dumb saying it was in armenia, especially when life hadnt even begun yet, and it wasnt even called armenia .

you either call it by what it was when it happened, or by its modern day name and country

[xBaron Dants]

Why don't they refer to it as Mount Agri Dagi then? That would be its "modern", turkish name.

[spookyghost]

you got me there baron.

is it mentioned in the bible, todays or the old testiment that noahs art landed on mt ararat ? that might be the reason why they say ararat instead of agher dagh
