Subject: Did Noah Build The Ark?  Part 4.                 July 22, 2007.

  This talks about some anchor stones that are suspended by ropes down
into the water from a ship to give it stability during rough seas.

  The knowledge about our solar system (including Vulcan), as displayed
on the
http://www.barry.warmkessel.com/barry/1999Paper.html
Akkadian Seal, is attributable to the Nommos. Should they have detected
and formulated Vulcan's orbit from their own solar system, it is just
a matter of mathematics to deduce when a swarm or cluster may be
threatening Earth. Noah's Flood was from a comet strike due to passage
of

swarm A cluster Cl 1A.

                   WHERE IT WAS BUILT AND LANDED

  It is really not known where the Ark was built as the Nommos activity
was globally widespread. Most sources suggest that the Ark was built in
Mesopotamia. But high mountain ranges exist between there and the Ararat
mountains. If the Ark were built near the Caspian Sea, the intervening
mountains would not have been too high. The movie "Deep Impact" offers
an example of a tsunami generated by a nearby one-kilometer comet
deep-sea impact and it reaches into the Appalachians. The
http://www.barry.warmkessel.com/barry/fig2.jpg
Kara-Bogaz-Gol (western side of the Caspian) is another possible strike
location.
  Should the comet have come out of the northwest (not having yet
rounded the Sun), it could have induced massive "super-tides" from
slippage of the Earth's tectonic plates towards the southeast. Thus, a
strike on solid ground would generate a "super-tide" that would seem to
move towards the northwest. The theological data reports that there
were multiple impacts as if a comet broke apart during its flight
through our atmosphere. Thus, there was a vast wave (super-tide) that
united with other waters from more southern latitudes. Should a comet
strike have caused Noah's Flood, there would be a tremendous amount or
residual dust in the air. Much of it could come from the impact of
smaller debris that often accompanies a comet originating from the
Kuiper belt.
  This, combined with the relative warmth of the water (either from
their pre-flood ambient conditions or from the energy released by the
comet strike itself) would have caused heavy fogs to occur both day
and night. Warm water meeting the cold air, that occurs at more than
6,000-foot altitudes, would have quickly resulted in such natural fogs.
Additionally, volcanic activity of parts of the Ararat range could
result from the strike. These could be present on a hemispheric wide
basis shortly after the strike.

  Tree Ring data clearly shows the presence of the cold environment this
strike may have caused 3195 BC. Some lifting of this fog could be why
the "mountains of Ararat" appeared to emerge months after the initial
comet strike.
  Should this artifact be Noah's Ark, its landing sight is well known.
A large number of the Ark's anchor stones are found near Kazan, Turkey.
The village of Kazan lies just north of a large rock formation (called
the Bed of Heroes) that could have been used as a temporary "anchorage"
while waiting for a suitable landing area to appear. The topography
indicates that the
http://www.barry.warmkessel.com/barry/arksite.doc
anchorage on Mt. Cudi near the rock outcropping was a relatively
fortunate location. The place where the Ark may have finally been
http://www.barry.warmkessel.com/barry/arkparked.doc
"beached" was the last protected cul-de-sac in Turkey before an outlet
into the next lower valley eastward into present day Iran. Noah appears
to have "cast off" from his protected anchorage when a natural dam broke
150 miles to his east. Fortunately, the topography may have been well
know to the Nommos who might have had mapped it from their space-born
vantage point. They could have directed the Ark to a "fortuitous
beaching location" just as the dam broke. Otherwise, much luck would
have been involved as well as a traumatic ride. Should Noah have missed
this beach site, the Ark would have rocketed to the next lower valley,
breaking up on the way breaking up from collisions.
  Many mud-flows occurred around the Ark during the last 5,200 years.

  The figure shown on this hyper- link shows the local topography. This
is the actual 1959 Turkish Air Force mapping photograph taken by Air
Force pilot Sevkit Kurtis. The purple arrows represent a path of mud
flows ending in a circle representing the Ark area. The upper, white
plateau section is Iran and below the escarpment (shadow of cliffs) is
Turkey. Down in the lower, right-hand section in convergence of several
mudflows, is seen the elliptical Ark remains. The mud-flows have moved
the Ark from its original beaching position nearly two miles to its
current location. It is near the old "silk trail" road into Iran, and
many could have visited it as Josephus reports, and chipped off bitumen
to sell as amulets that could ward off e-il.

  Naxuam is believed to be the oldest post flood city. It is found in
and around the Ark discovery area. Artist/author David Deal illustrated
this "House Map" of Naxuam. It is a rendition of Naxuan's city map as
derived from a satellite photograph suggesting foundations of ancient
buildings.

                          THE ARK THE ARTIFACT

http://www.arkdiscovery.com/tour-anchor3.htm
  Anchor or drogue stones were among the first items discovered at the
Ark site. They were used to keep it stable in rough seas, to anchor the
Ark, or maneuver the vessel during beaching. About a dozen of a probable
two dozen such stones weighing from seven to ten tons each have been
found. The Crusaders marked these stones with crosses acknowledging
Noah and his extended family's voyage.

  The remains of

Noah's Vessel had been covered by mud and volcanic ash, but the shape
of the vessel is clearly resolvable especially after the heavy rains
and earthquakes have disbursed much of the obscuring mud in 1948. The
sharp-ended stern is uphill (about 98' higher) than the rounded bow.
This is just opposite what one would expect if it were a natural
formation.
  The anchor stones are
http://www.barry.warmkessel.com/barry/arksite.doc
located about twelve miles from the Ark relic (shown in Figure 3). The
gentle grade of the place where the Ark was beached is the only such
local site at this elevation east of the anchor stones' location. It
could accommodate such a large vessel and permit it to be successfully
off loaded. All other such large, "beach like" landing sites are at
lower elevation lake bottom locations.
  This site is the last available one west of a steep downhill slope.
  The terrain on the way in may not have presented the same obstacles
to the Ark as it did on the way out. The water depth from the tsunami or
super-tide combinations generated by the comet's impact was much greater
onto the land and was at a very much higher flow rate than the water's
recession. But without much flood depth, the Ark faced limited options
on its downhill journey. The water trapped in high, intermountain
basins forced the Ark to beach in the highest location available, or
run "rapids" down into each successive lake. The first such run would
probably have destroyed it. Noah must have had a wild ride from the
anchor site to the beach site. Apparently, the Ark cast off from its
protected anchorage, perhaps when those controlling it were informed
that a water dam broke 150 miles to the east. It is doubtful that a
small collection of confused humans would know what to do. Further,
the Ark had to be maneuvered with very little margin for error.

  Windsor feels that Noah would have had to take depth soundings to
inform him that the potential beaching area was fairly level.
Alternately, the aliens (Nommos) had mapped the area previously, and
they could direct the Ark "from above". Once on the move, there was
little choice but to follow the currents and grab the first beach site
available.

                             CUNEIFORM TABLETS

  The Cuneiform Tablets found in the Epic Of Gilgamesh supports this
scenario: "After embarking, the storm broke with fearful violence and
the steering of the ship was handed over to Bezur-Bel, the ship man.
But amidst the roll of thunder and the march of mountain waves the helm
was wrenched from the pilot's hands and the pouring rain and the
lightning flashes dismayed all hearts. "Like a battle charge upon
mankind" the water rushed so that the go-s even were dismayed at the
flood and cowered like dogs, taking refuge in the heaven of Anu while
Ishtar (the winds?) screamed like a woman in travail. "Notice that the
"g-ds" take to the heavens, possibly to help the Ark's ship handlers
who may also be aliens. Communications between the Ark and the aliens
would be most critical at this time.
