00:56Over the years there have been claims about
00:58radar images, metal objects, supposed
01:00ship structures, petrified wood
01:02and other supposed evidence that
01:04Noah's Ark is buried there. Now the
01:06site is in the news again
01:08because researchers have begun
01:09deep core drilling. The research
01:12team says its drilling has
01:14encountered organic rich material and
01:16cavities below the surface.
01:18In one drill hole around
01:194 to 5 metres or roughly 13
01:22to 16 feet below the surface
01:23the drill struck something
01:25extremely hard and the drill bit
01:27broke. Some headlines and reports have
01:29suggested this might be petrified wood
01:31but notice the word might.
01:34The researchers themselves
01:35say petrified or highly mineralised
01:38wood is a possibility
01:39and samples need to undergo
01:41laboratory testing.
01:43So they have not established
01:45that they found petrified wood
01:47because they've hit something hard.
01:49That's interesting and I say yes
01:52investigate it, test it, analyse
01:54it but let's not turn
01:55and we hit something hard into
01:57we found Noah's Ark.
02:21And if somebody genuinely found
02:23remains of Noah's Ark, I would be thrilled.
02:25it would be surely one of
02:27the greatest archaeological discoveries
02:29in history. So I'm certainly not
02:31opposed to people searching for the Ark.
02:33But Christians also need to be
02:35very careful about sensational
02:37claims, particularly
02:38claims that have been made and refuted
02:41many times before.
02:42thought of final
02:57So I can't discovered from
