Satellite Imagery Finds Extraordinary Object on Mount Ararat, Excavation to Find Noah's Ark Scheduled to Begin WASHINGTON, April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Shamrock -- The Trinity Corporation today announced that they have collected new satellite images taken over Mount Ararat in Eastern Turkey that will add a new twist to an exploration that has been going on for centuries. The images, which were revealed at a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC today, reveal a man- made structure at the site where the Bible states Noah's Ark came to rest.The summer of 2003 provided a great opportunity to take a new series of photographs. It was the hottest summer in Europe since 1500, which caused a massive meltdown on Mount Ararat. Daniel P. McGivern, president of Shamrock - - The Trinity Corporation, who had been searching for the Ark via satellite for several years, used DigitalGlobe's Quick Bird satellite to collect a new set of satellite images. Quick Bird is the world's highest resolution commercial imaging satellite. Mr. McGivern has compiled a team of scientists, archaeologists and forensic experts to excavate the object and collect samples beginning in August of this year. "These new photos unequivocally show a man-made object," said Mr. McGivern. "I am convinced that the excavation of the object and the results of tests run on any collected samples will prove that it is Noah's Ark." The field manager for the excavation will be Dr. Ahmet Ali Arslan, a native of Turkey who has traveled up Mount Ararat 50 times in 40 years and formerly worked in the Turkey Prime Minister's office. He plans to discuss the details of the excavation with the Prime Minister next week.
