(Taken From the Book
The Ark on Ararat
by Tim LaHaye & John Morris, 1976)​

257 BC Berosus, Caldean historian

"But of this ship that grounded in Armenia, some part if it still remains …​

1st C Jewish historian Flavius Josephus mentions the remains of Noah’s ark 3 times.

"The Armenians call that spot the Landing-Place, for it was there that the Ark came safe to land, and they show the relics of it to this day. This flood and the Ark are mentioned by all who have written histories of the barbarians. Among these is Berosus the Chaldean, who in his description of the events of the flood writes somewhere as follows: ‘It is said, moreover, that a portion of the vessel still survives in Armenia on the mountains of the Gordyaens, and that persons carry off pieces of bitumen, which they use as talismans.’ These matters are also mentioned by Hieronymus the Egyptian, author of the ancient history of Phoenicia, by Mnaseas and by many others. Nicholas of Damascus in his ninety-sixth book relates the story as follows: ‘There is above the country of the Minyas in Armenia a great mountain called Baris, where, as the story goes, many refugees found safety at the time of the flood, and one man, transported upon an ark, grounded upon the summit: and relics of the timber were for long preserved.’

“… the country called Carrae: it was a soil that bare amomum in great plenty: there are also in it the remains of that ark, wherein it is related that Noah escaped the deluge, and where they are still shown to such as are desirous to see them.”​

180 AD Theophilus of Antioch

“And of the Ark, the remains are to this day to be seen in the Arabian mountains”​

4th C Bishop Epiphanius of Salamis

“Do you seriously suppose that we are unable to prove our point, when even to this day the remains of Noah’s Ark are shown in the country of the Kurds? Why, were one to search diligently, doubtless one would also find at the foot of the mountain the remnants of the altar where Noah, on leaving the Ark, tarried to offer clean and fatly animals as a sacrifice to the Lord God”​

4th C John Chrysostom

Do not the mountains of Armenia testify to it, where the Ark rested? And are not the remains of the Ark preserved there to this very day for our admonition"​

610 BC Isidore of Seville

Ararat is a mountain in Armenia, where the historians testify that the Ark came to rest after the Flood. So even to this day wood remains of it are to be seen there"​

1245 AD Jehan Haithon, a monk

“Upon the snows of Ararat a black speck is visible at all times: this is Noah’s Ark”​

Apparently, to people centuries ago, something was known to be there for a fact.
 
I believe I ve read this book, or at least one on a group of explorers looking for the Noah’s Ark. I ve also watch documetaries on this on TV about it.

I find this topic fascinating. Thanks for posting…

Funny that he read some of the Early Church Fathers and didn’t notice the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church replete with apostolic succession, seven Sacraments, liturgy, deacons, priests and bishops, the Eucharist…

…and no “Rapture”, Millennialism, or Dispensationalism. :doh2:
 
I am extremely sceptical as to the validity of the historical quotations. Someone should get some info on them.
 
The quote from “Antiquitates Judaicae” by Jospeh is correct. So take it how it is.
