    By the way I am fascinated with Indian archeology.
    Nice photos.

    and what qualified seismic scanning personnel performed these tests
    who corroborated there data
    what university funded there research
    or were there vested interests directly involved in funding this work
    who wrote what paper and where was it peer reviewed
    where was it published
    what scientific journal took it on themselves to verify and publish these claims
    do you have any actual scientific data free of encumbrances or competing interests that support these claims

    and assuming these claims are accurate and given that ancient homes were first built on the concepts of ship designs do you have any evidence
    hull growth or otherwise that this is actually a ship of some kind

    you mentioned that it was a wooden structure
    do you have any of this wood for analysis
    if not why not
    what was the outcome of that analysis
    where was it published
    who peer reviewed it
    who sponsored the research

    all perfectly valid questions when considering any scientific study

    its been a long time since Ive heard this argument maybe you have some new data

    cheers

    ps
    that was not really Native American archeology
    more like neolithic from Europe and the middle east
    although I think I did throw one in there from the Americas just to show the similarities

    Native American were more the mound builders and the Hohokam or the Anasazi
    who build sites like the temple complex in chaco canyon

    if you really want to get mind blown the mammoth bone houses of the Americas and Europe were spectacular

    with little else to build with the peoples of the steps and the plains made use of what they had
    these bones when covered by skins made quick and warm shelters not unlike the igloo's of the Inuits

    REgarding the radar scans---- very likely an ancient amusement park site based on an even older Noah's ark theme.
    Everything fits. The incredible similarity to the original ark. Except the squarish entrance/ticket booth to the left. The original ark would have lacked that ticket booth.

    Actually, those are not engine girders.
    Those form the "digestive system" so all the animal poop can be shoveled out the stern.

    the whole thing is borrowed from an earlier Babylonian mythos

    Looks like we have some splainin' to do.

    What is the oldest boat on earth doing looking like a modern day double ender?
    Started this thread thinking she started squareish and "sagged open" to the modern design.
    But the more I look at it, LOOKS MORE LIKE NOAH BUILT A MODERN DESIGN?

    Whoa!

    This is Ron Wyatts work I'm showing. This mans life is amazing. He found so many biblical sites equaly as compelling as the Ark so do visit his site.

    equally as compelling does not bode well for the validity of these presumed sites

    can you provide any of the requested data concerning this site and any scientific work that has been done to in any way verify it as
    wood
    a boat
    of what age
    having held animals
    size
    shape
    construction

    real data please including publication and peer reviews as well as citations would be convincing
    something from the major journals would also be helpfull
    the secular rags are not even remotely unbiased to please lets skip them and go straight to the actual science if there is any

    forgive my skepticism but you have done nothing to provide any of the typical information that would be expected if you want to validate this kind of claim

    thanks
    B

    oh
    I went to the site you suggested
    it is a theological based site that does not provide any detailed analysis of the site nor does it provide any peer reviewed data concerning any evidence found there
    it does link to a lab report saying that wood and metal was found on the site however both these materials are common to early human structures

    Here is the scientific analysis of the rivets, TITANIUM RIVETS

    do you have the complete lab analysis you can show us
    oh
    and I read that section as well
    they did not find Titanium per se
    but they found trace minerals consistent with the components of Titanium
    the only one of which that I find peculiar in a mineral rich area would be aluminum which requires electricity to produce as far as we know the process today
    I would also note that the Egyptians also had aluminum which they held more valuable than gold
    they ate gold powder by the way
    but once again there is nothing to indicate that this site is a ship or that it is old enough (~2400 bc if you buy the Bible story ) to be the ark
    it is entirely consistent with neolithic or chalcolithic sites of which there are numerous in this area of the world

    Let me also anticipate that, should the main engines be retrived, they will almost certainly be of cold-fusion type, maybe with some limited warp-speed capabilities. That will explain the visible warping of the hull.

    Though I personally wouldn't exclude even the possibility that hull deformations have been caused by a direct hit from alien laser guns.

    Algonquin Flood Myth
    An Algonquin Legend
    The god Michabo was hunting with his pack of trained wolves one day when he saw the strangest sight, the wolves entered a lake and disappeared. He followed them into the water to fetch them and as he did so, the entire world flooded.

    Michabo then sent forth a raven to find some soil with which to make a new earth, but the bird returned unsuccessful in its quest.

    Then Michabo sent an otter to do the same thing, but again to no avail.

    Finally he sent the muskrat and she brought him back enough earth to begin the reconstruction of the world. The trees had lost their branches in the flood, so Michabo shot magic arrows at them that immediately became new branches covered with leaves.

    Then Michabo married the muskrat and they became the parents of the human race.

    The flood on Superstition Mountain
    A Pima Legend
    In the state of Arizona, the Pima Indian tribe declares that the father of all men and animals was Great Butterfly--Cherwit Make, meaning the Earth- Maker.

    One day long ago, Great Butterfly fluttered down from the clouds to the Blue Cliffs, where two rivers met, later called the Verde and Salt rivers. There he made man from his own sweat.

    From that day on the people multiplied, but in time they grew selfish and quarrelsome. Earth-Maker became annoyed with their behavior and decided it might be best to drown all of them.

    But first, he thought to warn them through the voices of the winds.

    "People of the Pima tribe," called North Wind. "Sky Spirit warns you to be honest with one another and to live in peace from now on."

    Suha, Shaman of the Pimas, interpreted to the people what North Wind had warned them about.

    "What a fool you are, Suha, to listen to the voices of the winds," taunted his tribesmen.

    On the next night, the same warning from Earth-Maker was repeated by East Wind, who added, "Chief Sky Spirit warns that all of you will be destroyed by floods if you do not live nobler lives."

    Again, the Pimas mocked the winds and ignored their warnings. Next night, West Wind spoke, "Reform, people of the Pimas, or your evil ways will destroy you."

    Then South Wind breathed into Suha's ear, "Suha, you and your good wife are the only people worth saving. Go and make a large, hollow ball of spruce gum in which you and your wife can live a long as the coming flood will last."

    Because Suha and his wife believed the warnings and were obedient, they set to work immediately on a high hill, gathering spruce gum and shaping it into a large hollow ball. They stocked it with plenty of nuts, acorns, water, and bear and deer meats.

    Near the appointed time, Suha and his good wife looked down sadly upon the lovely green valley. They heard the songs of the harvesters. They sighed to think of the beauty about them that would be destroyed when the flood came because of the people's selfishness. Suddenly, a bright lightning flash and loud thunder rocked the Blue Cliffs. It was a signal for the flood to begin.

    Suha and his wife went into the gum-ball ark and closed the door tightly. Swirling, dark clouds surrounded them. Torrents of rain poured down everywhere. For many days, the ark rolled and tossed about on the deepening sea.

    After many, many moons, the downpour of rain stopped. The ark settled upon the land again, high on a mountaintop. Suha opened the door and stepped forth to see a tuna cactus growing near his feet. He and his wife ate some of the red fruit of the cactus plant. Below them, they saw water everywhere.

    That night they retired again to the ark. They must have slept a very long time, because when they awoke the water had disappeared, the valleys were green, and the bird songs rang forth again.

    Suha and his wife descended from Superstition Mountain, a name later given to the mountain upon which the ark had landed. They went down into the fertile valley and lived there for a thousand years. The forthcoming people prospered, becoming known as the Pima tribe.

    These Pimas later believed a story that an evil one named Hauk lived behind Superstition Mountain. He was also called the "Devil of Superstition Mountain" because he tried to steal daughters from the Pimas.

    One day, Hauk secretly descended into Pima valley, where the women were busy weaving. He stole one of Suha's daughters. Suha followed Hauk to his home behind Superstition Mountain, where he observed his daughter treated as a servant-girl by Hauk.

    Suha poisoned the cactus wine that his daughter served Hauk. When he drank it, Hauk died instantly. After that the world seemed less wicked, but always the Pimas feared that Hauk's evil spirit still lurked behind Superstition Mountain.

    Suha, Shaman and inspired leader of the Pima tribe, taught his people to build adobe houses, to dig gardens with bones and stones, to irrigate their lands from the rivers; to raise sheep, horses, and cattle, and, above all, to live in peace with one another.

    On his dying day, Suha gathered his people and foretold:

    "If you ever grow arrogant with wealth, if you ever become covetous of others' lands, if you ever make war for gain, if you ever disgrace yourselves before Chief of the Sky Spirits--another flood will come upon you.

    "If that happens again, bad persons will never be saved; only good persons will eventually live with the Sun-God."

    Since that time, Pimas have believed Suha's prophecies; and they never, never go onto Superstition Mountain.

    But their people love to tell the story of why and how the gum- ball ark landed on Superstition Mountain, saving Suha and his good wife, who became the beloved ancestors of their large and important Pima Tribe.
