16 MINS LATER
HudsonHOST
Yeah.
SethHOST
So it never became a thing.
SethHOST
Some crazy other facts about this little expedition by Ron Wyatt and Jonathan Gray: two kilometers up the hill is a 2,000-year-old monument, and inscribed on the monument are the mountains of Ararat-
HudsonHOST
Okay
David AlmgrenHOST
Yeah.
Kevin DeVriesGUEST
He has access to information I don't, right? [laughs] Um, and so I just treat it as a historical fact, and if that's true and if the highest mountain in the region is Ararat, I know it's plural, Mountains of Ararat.
Kevin DeVriesGUEST
It doesn't say Mount Ararat.
Kevin DeVriesGUEST
And then you have, you know, and writers of antiquity like Josephus and others who have said yes, you know, people make pilgrimages, and they take parts of the boat as talismans or to ward off evil spirits.
Tony MerkelHOST
There's, there's intent.
Tony MerkelHOST
There was like something that was built and is there, you know? Uh, and so unless, you know, El- Epic of Gilgamesh and Gilgamesh heard about, uh, Noah's Ark and decided to go to the mountains of Ararat and build his own Noah's Ark as a tribute to what supposedly happened there, this is probably Noah's Ark.
Tony MerkelHOST
[laughs] You know?
Andrew JonesGUEST
[laughs]
16 MINS LATER
Andrew JonesGUEST
In, in English word is Ararat.
Andrew JonesGUEST
So it was like, it's like me saying today Noah's Ark landed in Canada, the mountains of Canada.
Andrew JonesGUEST
It says in the Bible, "Mountains of Ararat," this kingdom.
Andrew JonesGUEST
And in the Quran, it's similar.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
In the story, what happens at the end? What do they do with the ark once the flood subsides?
Travis ViewHOST
Well, we'll get to that, but yeah, it says that it rested in the Mountains of Ararat.
Travis ViewHOST
That's all it says.
Travis ViewHOST
Yeah.
Julian FeeldHOST
This is another kind of, like, esoteric Nazi where, you know, you become like Indiana Jones basically in the process of your contorted beliefs.
Travis ViewHOST
Before I really get, you know, deep into Jones, I wanna talk about some of the tradition that, uh, Andrew Jones is operating in.
Travis ViewHOST
The reason ark hunters go to Mount Ararat is because in Genesis chapter 8 it says that, "When the floodwaters receded, the ark came to rest on the Mountains of Ararat." Now, already we have a problem because close readers might notice that the phrase Mountains of Ararat is different than Mount Ararat.
Julian FeeldHOST
Uh-oh.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Then they were hung from the bottoms of ancient ships to stabilize them in rough seas.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Why are there anchor stones in the mountains of Ararat? They're 200 miles from the closest ocean.
speaker_1NARRATOR
But there they are.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Also on the site, the ancient settlement of Nashuam was discovered.
speaker_1NARRATOR
Not only did they find iron, they found it at regular intervals, indicating something man-made.
Jeff DurbinHOST
So Genesis chapter eight, verse four.
Jeff DurbinHOST
And in the seventh month, on the 17th day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
Jeff DurbinHOST
What's up, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of Apologia Radio.
SimeonHOST
And then we have the process of the waters running off there.
SimeonHOST
Then we have verse 4 that tells us, we have another word there, the Bible says, "...and the ark rested in the seventh month on the seventeenth day of the month upon the mountains of Ararat." Verse 5, "...and the waters decreased continually." So you have that process described again.
SimeonHOST
"...until the tenth month.
SimeonHOST
In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen." So as the waters continued to recede off of the earth, we have these huge water runoffs taking place.
SimeonHOST
Okay, so as the waters receded, we have two events recorded in the text before us.
SimeonHOST
Number one, the resting of the ark.
SimeonHOST
The ark comes to rest on the 17th day of the seventh month upon the mountains of Ararat.
SimeonHOST
Now, interestingly, at this point, the waters have not, the tops of the mountains have not yet appeared.
