The Mount Ararat Prehistoric Site & Comparisons with Alleged Noah's Ark Sites.

The Mount Ararat site publicized by a Kurdish-Turkish-Chinese team in 2009 is a prehistoric archaeological site. Nothing in my four years of research of the site and its material culture has altered this conclusion.

The Mount Ararat prehistoric site has much to offer traditional, secular science. Below is a comparison between the archaeological features and artifacts from the Mount Ararat prehistoric site and two other locations that are alleged to represent Noah's ark.

Please do what you can to protect, preserve, and further the research of the archaeological features and material culture at the Mount Ararat prehistoric site.
