Introduction
During the past 15 years, individuals and groups ascended the southern gorge of greater Mount Ararat (Agri Dagi) and allege to have found Noah’s Ark. Noah’s Ark is recorded in the Bible (Genesis 5-10) and Quran (Surah 3, 7, 11, 17, 26, 37) as an ancient, monumental, maritime barge that was constructed by Noah and his family to save his family and all animal kinds from a global flood. There are now eighteen (18) people claiming to have been at the archaeological site of Noah’s Ark. These individuals and groups have produced an abundance of photographs, videos, and publications. Yet, they have been attacked by individuals engaged in a cultural atrocity and associated with terrorism, murder, and hypocrisy.
The purpose of this site is to gather in one location an array of resources and for contributors to provide sworn testimonies. This site also tracks the current litigation being led by the Harvard educated archaeologist and maritime executive, Joel Klenck, MA, PhD, JD, in his efforts to defend, protect, preserve, and facilitate research at Noah’s Ark. Klenck combats those trying to commit a cultural atrocity against Noah’s Ark, a shrine for three world religions and the most important archaeological site in history, the progenitor site for the Neolithic or farming revolution.
