Circular Reference

Good morning thrifty.

The link in your post to the March 2006 article "Satellite Sleuth Closes in on Noah's Ark Mystery" is working. It explains some of the work Porcher Taylor conducted on satellite images first reported in 1974.

Excerpts from the article about a circle:

Satellite imagery analyst Rod Franz of SunTek Media Group/RiteImage, Inc., located in Henderson, Nevada, has taken a look at imagery provided by Taylor of the Ararat anomaly and carried out additional analysis of the area. As director of training for the firm, Franz sharpened his skills by serving nearly 25 years as a military intelligence imagery analyst.

The face of the anomaly measured 1,015 feet (309 meters) across, Franz said. "I also found the shape of the anomaly appears to fit on a circle. I am not sure what this means, if anything, but I find it curious."

Here is a link to another article from August 3rd, 2009 that mentions Mr. Taylor:

Excerpt:

In the beginning of 2006, University of Richmond professor Porcher Taylor declared that according to an extensive study made over years of satellite photography, there is a foreign object encrusted in the area northeast of the mountain, the length of which coincides perfectly with that of the ark recounted in the Bible.

Such satellite images from above Ararat have inspired the curiosity of a great number of scientists since this declaration was made in 1974.

Several expeditions of investigators also managed to rescue remains of petrified wood, as well as 13 strong anchors of rock in the area surrounding the supposed location of the possible archeological treasure.

Ultrasonic tests have also been made, revealing a very odd structure embedded in the rock.

In spite of the multiplicity of texts from diverse cultures which tell the story of a great ancient flood, the magnitude and duration of such an event seems to be a point of argument, even among those who believe that such an event actually occurred.

Thus, while a small number of researchers suggest that this flood covered the entire Earth in vast amounts of water, most geologists agree that such a scenario is an impossibility.

According to the following article dated December 28, 2009, Randall Price, who heads Liberty University’s Center For Judaic Studies, we will have an answer in August of this year about Noah’s Ark.
