Our reading
The researchers found charred wood 30 feet underground, which they say could be from Noah’s Ark. They also claim to have seen ‘organized patterns, chambers, and corridors’ that aren’t geological. It’s the kind of discovery that would make a museum director swoon, if not for the fact that it’s also the kind of discovery that could be a shepherd’s campfire.
They’re waiting for lab results to confirm the wood’s age, but in the meantime, they’re already calling it ‘extraordinary.’ It’s the same way a used car salesman describes a dented minivan—full of hope, no proof, and a lot of handwaving about ‘third-party testing.’
Meanwhile, the wood is still just wood, and the structure is still just a formation. But the researchers are already halfway to the ark, if not already there, and the only thing left is the carbon dating to catch up.
