WEBVTT - UPDATE: Has Noah’s Ark Actually Been Unearthed?

0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:03.540
<v Speaker 1>It is the Fitzy, Whipper and Kate podcast.

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:05.740
<v Speaker 2>We've been talking about this for a while now, Kate.

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Have you got an update on Noah's Ark?

0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:09.490
<v Speaker 1>I do have an update. I think it was Fitzy

0:00:09.510 --> 0:00:11.810
<v Speaker 1>that brought the story to the show a couple of

0:00:11.850 --> 0:00:12.410
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago.

0:00:12.430 --> 0:00:13.410
<v Speaker 2>This is fascinating.

0:00:13.450 --> 0:00:14.830
<v Speaker 3>Have they found it? They got it?

0:00:15.210 --> 0:00:18.270
<v Speaker 1>Well, they thought they had found it, yes, in the

0:00:18.329 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>mountainside in Turkey. Now they've actually found bits and pieces.

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:29.980
<v Speaker 1>Of Noah? No. They have announced that pieces of charred

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.250
<v Speaker 1>wood were found about 30 foot below the surface.

0:00:33.270 --> 0:00:33.650
<v Speaker 3>That's huge.

0:00:34.090 --> 0:00:38.750
<v Speaker 1>And there are now photographs. So these photographs of the

0:00:38.790 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>fragments have been released, revealing blackened, cracked wood with visible

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:47.050
<v Speaker 1>grain patterns and markings that researchers believe... that they could

0:00:47.090 --> 0:00:49.810
<v Speaker 1>have been made by ancient tools. There are some sections

0:00:49.970 --> 0:00:53.390
<v Speaker 1>on it where it's been flattened out, so it's going

0:00:53.409 --> 0:00:57.510
<v Speaker 1>to be maybe an axe or a knife or something

0:00:57.570 --> 0:01:02.310
<v Speaker 1>like that was used. So human workmanship is what they're assessing.

0:01:02.330 --> 0:01:02.870
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:01:02.950 --> 0:01:05.330
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. This could change everything.

0:01:05.990 --> 0:01:06.709
<v Speaker 1>In what way?

0:01:07.090 --> 0:01:12.460
<v Speaker 2>Well, to think that this is not a mythological story...

0:01:12.700 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 2>And that those that questioned the Bible and this story

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:18.250
<v Speaker 2>have been proven wrong.

0:01:19.420 --> 0:01:22.429
<v Speaker 3>Like to think Noah's Ark existed, right?

0:01:22.490 --> 0:01:22.770
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:01:22.850 --> 0:01:24.590
<v Speaker 2>And many people have believed for a very long time,

0:01:24.610 --> 0:01:27.149
<v Speaker 2>but there's a lot of non-believers as well, to suggest

0:01:27.190 --> 0:01:30.110
<v Speaker 2>that an ark so great was built for a giant

0:01:30.190 --> 0:01:32.130
<v Speaker 2>flood and two by two the animals marched.

0:01:32.550 --> 0:01:32.770
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:33.050 --> 0:01:35.670
<v Speaker 2>And now we're going, hang on a minute, we've got

0:01:35.690 --> 0:01:38.030
<v Speaker 2>a bit of debris, we found some timber from the

0:01:38.050 --> 0:01:38.649
<v Speaker 2>front deck.

0:01:39.370 --> 0:01:42.530
<v Speaker 4>Well, it proves there was a boat, yeah. You could

0:01:42.569 --> 0:01:44.710
<v Speaker 4>make a great coffee table out of it or something,

0:01:44.730 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't you?

0:01:45.130 --> 0:01:47.370
<v Speaker 3>I'd buy that. What, a bit of Noah's Ark?

0:01:47.830 --> 0:01:48.050
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:01:48.070 --> 0:01:50.430
<v Speaker 2>So, Kate, is there any way, like, because there's.

0:01:50.850 --> 0:01:52.770
<v Speaker 1>Oh, now you're starting to ask questions.

0:01:52.810 --> 0:01:54.290
<v Speaker 3>No, no, here's what I want to know.

0:01:54.330 --> 0:01:54.630
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay.

0:01:54.650 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Because there's going to be people that say, similar to aliens, right?

0:01:59.310 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Unless I see an alien with my own eyes, I'm

0:02:01.660 --> 0:02:06.650
<v Speaker 2>not going to believe it. Is someone suggesting that... This

0:02:06.690 --> 0:02:08.590
<v Speaker 2>timber is from the boat or could it be an

0:02:08.690 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 2>old tree root?

0:02:10.020 --> 0:02:10.660
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely.

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.559
<v Speaker 1>So that's what they're doing. They're testing the age, the material,

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>all of that stuff. But up until this point, they

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't even have the fragments.

0:02:20.340 --> 0:02:20.860
<v Speaker 3>Fascinating.

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.810
<v Speaker 1>Weren't they just, I think it was like there was

0:02:23.820 --> 0:02:27.390
<v Speaker 1>a shape and I'm guessing they can read down into

0:02:27.430 --> 0:02:30.250
<v Speaker 1>the earth knowing that there was something there, but they

0:02:30.310 --> 0:02:32.769
<v Speaker 1>didn't have something that they could hold in their hands

0:02:33.130 --> 0:02:33.910
<v Speaker 1>and then test.

0:02:34.290 --> 0:02:35.489
<v Speaker 2>It's a great story.

0:02:36.870 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 3>This is... Go on. Would there be any evidence of

0:02:40.180 --> 0:02:42.740
<v Speaker 3>the animals around? You would hope so.

0:02:42.780 --> 0:02:43.860
<v Speaker 1>Bones? Do you think bones?

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.540
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. Would bones be there?

0:02:45.620 --> 0:02:47.340
<v Speaker 2>It depends what they were preserved in.

0:02:47.820 --> 0:02:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Well, that depends if they didn't... I mean, maybe they wouldn't...

0:02:51.380 --> 0:02:54.620
<v Speaker 1>Didn't they leave the ship? They would have been washed away.

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>Unless they were trapped in the boat.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 3>Noah wouldn't leave the ship.

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.970
<v Speaker 4>He was an absolute mad dog and everyone said that.

0:03:05.990 --> 0:03:10.589
<v Speaker 4>He's not bailing the animals to try and save himself.

0:03:11.090 --> 0:03:12.889
<v Speaker 4>So he'd be somewhere around there.

0:03:13.610 --> 0:03:17.100
<v Speaker 2>Imagine if they found Noah in the ship.

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:18.940
<v Speaker 1>Now you're just being ridiculous.

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Stranger things have happened.

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.660
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you know what? I would believe anything these days.

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.260
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just look at the news.

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 4>But, see, you don't take it out, do you? It's

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:35.420
<v Speaker 4>got to become a– I mean, it's a monument. It's

0:03:35.460 --> 0:03:37.780
<v Speaker 4>something that we can go and travel to to go

0:03:37.820 --> 0:03:38.260
<v Speaker 4>and see.

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.770
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah, you mean we can climb it or something?

0:03:40.790 --> 0:03:44.660
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, they should– No, it's like Machu Picchu, isn't it?

0:03:44.790 --> 0:03:47.809
<v Speaker 4>It's a journey just to get there, but once you

0:03:47.830 --> 0:03:49.070
<v Speaker 4>get there, it's like, wow.

0:03:49.090 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 3>Wow, look at that. Hey, everybody, I'm Noah, and this

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.660
<v Speaker 3>used to be my house. Oh, wow.

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.540
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so there's someone busking out the front, is there?

0:03:57.820 --> 0:04:00.340
