Moses reported the great flood and the ark that survived it in the Bible's book of Genesis. And ever since then, men have searched Mount Ararat for the remains of the craft. Ed Davis of Albuquerque was one of the few who, before his death in 2001 at age 98, claimed to have seen the ark.
In the book, Davis recounts his experiences in and near Hamadan, Iran, while serving with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1943. Davis was just one of five American servicemen who between 1942 and 1946 claimed to have seen the ark, either from the ground or from their planes. Mount Ararat rises from within the Turkish borders near Iran and Russia. Davis said he was shown artifacts from the ark and held them in his hands. The family of a man, who knew the location of the ark, took Davis to it.
Mountain climber, Don Shockey has himself scaled Mount Ararat three times--in 1984, 1989 and again in 1990. Thousands of people have looked at Shockey's own photographs of the mountain and what appears to be an object resting high on a northern slope. Shockey says this object is definitely Noah's Ark.
If proven, the finding of Noah's Ark would validate Christianity and set the world on its ear, Shockey said in an interview recently. Gilbert Grosvenor of National Geographic told Shockey it would be the single most important archaeological find in the world.
Though Shockey is retired from a long career as an optometrist, he is no anthropological amateur. Under the tutelage of Dr. Frank Hibben, renowned anthropology professor, Shockey graduated from the University of New Mexico in 1957 with a bachelor's degree in anthropology with a minor in biology and then went on to finish a degree in secondary education.
Shockey credits his belief in the ark's continued survival to its construction from gopher wood. There is no Hebrew word for gopher wood, said Shockey, but the Bible says it is the material from which the ark is constructed. Much like the process used to create modern-day laminates, gopher wood, Shockey said, was a composite material formed from strong wood and tree sap that hardened to steel strength.
The probings of Shockey and other ark hunters will likely stimulate thought, interest and discussion from now until the matter is finally proved one way or the other.
However, no one can dispute the geological facts that from the icy center of the mountains of Ararat, the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers are born. Between these two rivers Mesopotamia, the historical seat of civilization, took shape.
After the flood Noah came down off the mountain to re-establish life on earth and it was a fertile place that guaranteed humanity's success.
