A team of Texas archaeologists believe they may have located the remains of Noah’s Ark in Iran’s Elburz mountain range. “I can’t imagine what it could be if it is not the Ark,” said Arch Bonnema of the Bible Archaeology Search and Exploration (B.A.S.E) Institute, a Christian archeology organization dedicated to looking for biblical artifacts. Bonnema and the other B.A.S.E. Institute members hiked for seven hours in the mountains northwest of Tehran, climbing 13,000 feet before making the apparent discovery. “We got up to this object, nestled in the side of a hill,” said Robert Cornuke, a member of the B.A.S.E. Institute. “We found something that has my heart skipping a beat.” At first, they didn’t dare to hope it was the biblical boat. “It wasn’t impressive at first,” Cornuke said. “Certainly didn’t think it to be Noah’s Ark. But when we got close, we were amazed. It looked similar to wood.” In addition, some B.A.SE. members say, their discovery didn’t look very distinctive. “It looked like the deck of any boat today,” Bonnema said. The Bible places the Ark in the mountains of Ararat, a mountain range theologians believe spans hundreds of miles, which the team says is consistent with their find in Iran.

The Bible also describes the Ark’s dimensions as being 300 cubits by 50 cubits — about the size of a small aircraft carrier. The B.A.S.E. Instituter’s discovery is similar in size and scale. “It is provocative to think that this could be the lost ark of Noah,” Cornuke said Throughout history, people have been searching for the Ark to help prove God’s existence. “There’s this idea, if we can prove that the ark existed then we can prove that the story existed, and more importantly, we can prove that God existed,” said Bruce Feiler, author of “Where God Was Born”. Previous scholars have searched for the Ark on Mount Ararat in Turkey. “Czar Nicholas, actually, in 1916 sent two expeditions to photograph it on top of Mount Ararat,” said Feiler. One former U.S. president, Feiler said, looked for it in the mountains of Iran.

This raises an awful lot of interesting questions. If the artifact has not drifted and is genuine, it would clearly mean that the ‘Black Madonna’ Icons found in many parts of the world is a far more accurate representation of the people and ‘main event’  than the frequent found ‘White, blond haired’ depictions of the people and characters concerned!

I was asked some tough questions the other day by Mind Energy. See the interview transcript here 

Psychic Interview.
It is sometimes difficult to put what a psychic does into words, how it feels and also why people use a psychic and for what. It was interesting to see that a lot of the questions really centred around, “Are you an accurate psychic” “are psychics genuine” and ” how to choose a good psychic and avoid the bad ones”

The recent Sylvia Brown fiasco seems to have yet again raised questions regarding the validity of all psychics…..if so much was made of it every time someone consulted a builder or lumber who did a bad job, tradesman would never be out of the news! You can read in depth what I felt about Sylvia Brown and her in accurate psychic information at Mind Energy.
