A new claim is being made for the discovery of Noah's Ark, as the French news agency reports evangelical explorers from China and Turkey believe they may have found the remnants of the legendary biblical vessel.
"It's not 100 percent that it is Noah's Ark but we think it is 99.9 percent that this is it," Yeung Wing-cheung, a Hong Kong documentary filmmaker and member of the 15-strong team from Noah's Ark Ministries International told Agence France-Presse.
According to the report which provided no photos and few details, the team says it recovered wooden specimens from a structure on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey at an altitude of 13,000 feet, and that carbon dating suggested it was 4,800 years old.
Yeung indicated there were several compartments inside, some with wooden beams, that could have housed animals.
