Taken from Noah's Ark notes I have here at home:

Ancient Local Place Names verify The Great Flood Account in Genesis: Noah's Ark, Family and Landing place.

GENESIS ACCOUNT
1. The Flood was a divine judgement upon
the whole anediluvian (pre-flood) world.
.
2. Toward the end of the Flood, Noah sent
out a crow to test for the re-emergence of
land. At first, with nowhere to stand, it kept
returning; finally it did not return.

3. The Ark eventually came to rest in the
mountains.

4. They emerged from the Ark as though from
death, to start a new world.

5. And Noah built an alter and offered a sacrifice
of thanksgiving to God.

6. Historians tell us that pilgrims journeyed to
this site in ages past.

7. The company who survived the Flood were long
considered by the ancient world as the heroes
of man.

8. Eight human survivors emerged from the Ark
into this valley.

(note, above numbered texts correspond directly to the below and note the significance).

LOCAL PLACE NAMES
1. The area of the slopes near the boat shaped
object is called MAHSER, which means "The
last judgement day".

2. A nearby village bears the name KARGACONMAZ
which means "the crow will not stand or return".

3. The nearby castle of DARONYNK stands
on a site whose name means "where the
oars were reversed".

4. The field near the boat shaped object is
called NAHSUR "Raised from the dead".

5. The nearby village once bore the name
NASAR, which means "to make a
presentation or sacrifice".

6. The point above the head of the valley
is called ZIYARET DOG "voluntary
pilgrimage".

7. The closer end of the ridge is named
YIGITYATAGI "hero's bed" i.e. "the
habitat of heroes" or "Where the heroes
come from."

8. The Valley which stretches down from
here was anciently known as "The
region of Eight". Lower in this valley
near some ancient grave markers
bearing iconographs of eight persons,
stands KAZAN or ARZEP, a village
"The Place of Eight".


Thirteen Stone sea Anchors (Drogue Stones) have been discovered in the area of the boat shaped object. Thirteen out of an estimated eighteen have been found. They are by FAR the largest in the world averaging 8,7000lbs in weight (4 tons), measuring 10 feet in height, 5 feet wide and 18" - 24" thick. Some lie at intervals, cut loose when dragging along the shallow route taken by the vessel through receding flood waters to its Al Judi landing place. Each anchor stone had a cable hole at the top so that it could be suspended underneath to stabilise the colossal vessel in turbulent waters. Petrified animals dropping have also been found at the Ark site. Petrified antler also found. Iron rivet timber fixing have also been found. From Genesis, we know that metal production was a science long before teh time of the Flood. "And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, and instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah". (Gen 4:22).

A thumb bone has also been found near what is believed to have been Noah's "grave". The thumb bone came from a human being at least twice the normal height of today.

Hurite Column:
Remains of the 2000 BC Hurite Column on which were found inscriptions of a boat-shaped object with eight faces from within the boat, a volcanic peak and two birds above.

Fossilised deck timber recovered from the site proved to be laminated wood!
Testing was carried out by Galbraith Labs in Knoxville, Tennessee, and the results showed the sample to contain over 70% organic carbon, consistent with fossilized wood. The specimen was once living matter. Later thin sections were cut from the sample for microscopic examination. The wood consisted of three layers. It was laminated wood! The cementing substance used was resin made from tree sap. Never before has petrified wood been found that was laminated. This revealed that the construction methods used by Noah in building the ark included three-ply laminating!

Two lichen covered stone grave markers were also discovered nearby. Incised into the surface were simple sketches of stunning revelations. Three parallel semicircles depicted a rainbow. A simple boat atop a simple wave depicted the Ark and the Great Flood. Eight stick figures depicted Noah's three sons, their sives and Noah himself with open eyes and raised heads walking away from a mother figure with her eyes shut, head bowed and still, as if dead. The other tombstone depicted Noah's three sons and their sives similarly walking away from two dead parents figures. Luckily (thankfully) these are on video, as the tombstones are now missing (plundered/robbed).

The graves were also plundered and deprived Turkey and all humanity of our sacred heritage from the post-flood parents of us all. Noah's wife's grave was 18 feet long. In it were priceless artifacts of gold and precious stones and possibly her skeletal remains. She is estimated to have been approximately 12 feet tall. The Turkish government is determined to recover the precious plunder. It already has the polished granite grave slab cover measuring 18 feet. A chance recovery nearby of a human thumb bone indicates a 12 foot owner.

Noah's Cottage?
Near the tombstones lie the ruins of a half-buried cottage thought to be Noah's house. The walls are 3 foot thick. on one wall, in simple stone incisions, were accounts of the Great flood, fortunately recorded on video tape, but unfortunately removed by local Kurds.

Noah's Alter?
A short distance from the cottage lies a small hill. Near it's base is a huge natural alter stone. Normally the priest or person offering sacrifice stands before a waist high alter. This alter is, however, six feet high. That this was an alter is verified by the nearby "U" shaped bleeding stones, where the animal sacrifices took place, before being laid upon the alter (according to sacrifical ritual).

I have not gone into everything here, but given some examples of discoveries in those areas. One can find out MUCH more than what I've given here!
