Georgie Hagopian says he saw the Ark as a boy
· by Georgie Hagopian
Armenian-American Georgie Hagopian said his uncle took him to see a moss-covered, petrified Ark on Ararat twice in the early 1900s.
What is claimed
As a boy he twice saw a petrified Ark, over 1,000 ft long, on the edge of a cliff on Ararat.
What is established
No physical or documentary corroboration; the account rests on one person's recollection decades later.
Details
Accounts place the first visit in 1902, 1906 or 1908. TalkOrigins questions how easily children reached a site other explorers could not.
