Hey guys,

I was wondering i seem to remember a story about Unsolved Mysteries being scammed by two proffersors on the existence of Noahs Ark. Is this true or am i mistaken.

I don't recall that, but there is a segment on the "Strange Lengends" set called "Noah's Ark".

Sounds interesting

Like GGF92 said, there is a story on Strange Legends called 'Noah's Ark' and two professors state two separate locations where the Ark is, but I don't know about the scam.

I think you're thinking of the CBS special "The Incredible Discovery of Noah's Ark" It was hosted by Darren McGavin and I just learned last week it was released to DVd this past March. This was part of a series of specials on ancient mysteries but mostly Biblical stories were profiled. I think they've released all 4 shows to DVD but they changed the names. I'll only know for sure when my box set arrives shortly.

But back to Noah. In this special they interviwed a guy who had a piece of wood he said came from there but he was debunked years later. MUch of the rest of the material was on the level though and they even did a CGI mock up of how creationsists feel the flood took place. It was a neat special and I reccomend these shows to anyone who is a fan of the similar Unsolved Mysteries segments or ancient/Biblical archeology in general. By comparisson I was disappointed in the Unsolved MYsteries Noah's Ark segment and I think they were duped as that site has been proven to be a Mongal fort.

the CBS specials had tie-in books and the Noah's one had some bonus stories not in the film including an account by a guy who worked in the Smithsonian in the late 60's and he claimed they made a secret joint expedition with NAtional GEographic to Noah's Ark and brought back artifacts including the body of a prominant Biblical figure some believe was Adam or Noah. This man said the museum hushed it up because if they relgious fanatics knew what they had brought back they would have a field day. When asked the Smithsonian and National Geographic denied ever taking part for a search of the "mythical" Noah's ARk but it was proven by a paper trail that not only had they mounted such expeditions in the past but they they also have denoated to some. It's a fascinating subject and deserved more from UM.

They found it. Again. Maybe. http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2010/04/27/2280442.aspx?GT1=43001

In any case, it will be a little embarrassing in my church if an actual Ark does turn up. My particular religion (Swedenborgian/New Church) teaches that the story of Noah and the flood took place much longer ago than the Biblical timeline proposed by fundamentalists, and not only did it not involve an actual boat, but even if it had, they would be looking not for a 6,000-year-old relic, but something much older and undoubtedly long gone.

Now they're saying tunnels which makes it sound even more like a fort.

I like how it says this at the end of the article:

The phenomenon, however, could be tectonic plates shifting and raising the rock formation high above the prehistoric ocean.
