Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. In this episode of 'Two Pastors Popcorn and a Movie', host Dave…
Okay, so let's go back to, uh, for our audience, uh, you were up there in 2009 for five summers looking for Noah's Ark.
Um, uh, kinda lay the, the groundwork for why you, why you went there, um, why you chose that particular area, and why these guys maybe, um, chose the area that they went to, and what, what, what differences are there between the team that you were a part of and this team? Sounds like there's a lot of things that are similar in just how they're testing and they're exploring.
But, um, draw some parallels there and set the stage for, um, just the Herculean effort it takes to do this for you guys and these guys.
And, uh, I, I did read something, like, whatever samples they have, we won't find out the results i- for another, into '27, so months away at, at minimum.
So we knew that if we had, uh, wood, organic wood samples from our core drill, and all we had was ground-penetrating radar showing kind of this anomaly under the ice, you're really asking the public's imagination to be maxed in trying to create a scenario where, okay, yeah, that is Noah's Ark, 'cause you're trying to take a piece out of it, right? You're trying to take the acorn away from the tree and saying, "Hey, this is a tree." Well, it is-
And so when you take these little samples, yeah, it could be wood dated to 4,000 or 4,500 years ago, but who knows how old the wood was before they chopped it down.
Yeah, it was gopher wood, which is kind of a, a composite, you know, type of wood that is like a modern-day plywood, if you will.
So they had, uh, technology at that point to be able to create that and, uh, to create that box-like structure like we talked about earlier.
I went, uh, primarily because there was some remote sensory intel that was saying there's something on top of the mountain.
And using the guy's language, and we call them Mr. X in Finding Noah, [laughs] um, apparently he was using, you know, military grade observation to see what we were doing.
