Noah's Ark, the massive structure that saved the lives of human beings and animals during the Great Flood described in the Holy Bible's Book of Genesis, has long fascinated researchers, particularly archaeologists.
What remains of the Noah's Ark is believed to be located in Mount Ararat, the highest elevation in Turkey. In fact, a Hong Kong-based team from Noah's Ark Ministries International (NAMI) announced more than five years ago that it has found an ancient wooden structure in the mountain, which is likely a part of the Biblical Ark.
NAMI revealed in April 2010 that it found what are believed to be parts of Noah's Ark 4,000 meters above sea level, buried beneath volcanic rock and ice on Mount Ararat.
On Oct. 15 this year, Ahmet Ertugrul, the Turkish expert and discoverer who led this same group to the site of the remains of Noah's Ark, will be featured in a special Christian event organised by Southern Evangelical Seminary (SES), as reported by Charisma News.
Ertugrul, better known to the world as Parasut, is expected to answer questions about his initial discovery, and is also likely to announce new information about Noah's Ark together with a panel of eyewitness explorers and experts.
Expected to join Ertugrul in the panel of experts is Philip Williams, an American engineer and former telecommunications entrepreneur. He will present his own findings related to the remains of Noah's Ark, particularly photographs, testimony and videos from a trip made to Mount Ararat last year.
Williams was one of the first Americans who first investigated the biblical structure and has studied the subject for the past two decades. He also looked into charges of hoax about recent findings about Noah's Ark.
The highly-anticipated presentations about Noah's Ark will be done before the 22nd annual National Conference on Christian Apologetics, to be held at Calvary Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Oct. 16 and 17.
The Christian world is expected to closely watch the presentations, with hopes that there will finally be conclusive evidence about the existence of Noah's Ark.
