The Lost Ship of Noah
By Charles Berlitz
Cult author Charles Berlitz examines the legend of Noah’s Ark.
Berlitz rose to great fame in the 1970s with his international bestseller, The Bermuda Triangle. He became one of the world’s foremost explorers of ancient mysteries, linking myth and the paranormal to possible extra-terrestrial forces.
In The Lost Ship of Noah he not only investigates one of mankind’s most enduring stories, but also provides answers to questions concerning the origins of our civilization, the historical validity of the Bible, and the very nature of our collective destiny.
High on a mountain in eastern Turkey there lies — seasonally visible under the ice and snow — a man-made object, older than recorded history, resembling a ship. Is it a ship, where no ship could be? If it is, could it be Noah’s Ark?
Religious and archaeological expeditions to Ararat have increasingly focused world attention on the mysterious object on the mountain. It has been photographed from satellites and measured by subsurface radar. It has been carbon dated to prehistoric times, synching with the period of the Great Flood. Could this actually be Noah’s Ark?
