On that small bench the village Uzengili-Nasar, the namesake of Mt. Nisir, is located. Uzengili-Nisir is miles north and slightly west of pre-flood Shuruppak. This village is at an elevation of some 6, feet above mean sea level. This indicates that if this is the Ark Site, then the Flood waters were a sudden, b high velocity, c northerly in direction, d crested at over 7, feet above modern sea level, and e came from the general direction of the Indian Ocean to the south.
Its average depth is 10, feet. F4 Therein, he described both this suspected Ark Site, and he gave its measurements, based on flags placed above loci where the frequency generator indicated a bit of iron below within the formation. He also discussed eleven drogue stones, located 5 miles northwest of Dogubayazit, at Kazan, which is some 15 miles from the Ark Site. This drogue stone issue is treated in a separate, but related essay.
The drogue stones, in Fasold's mind, served just like drogue stones of recent times in boats going up and down the Nile River. Their function, as they drag along in the water behind the boats, is to prevent any capsizing in event the boat is suddenly struck sideways by a surprise wave. The modern term for the drogue stones would be "sea anchors". Modern geological dogma does not offer a force, a cause or a scenario that could have relocated Noah's Ark so far, so high and so quickly.
The supreme dogma of modern geology is Lyell's "gradualism" uniformitarianism ; it dates to the 's. Before that, in early l9th century geology, the two basic explanations for causing forces were Neptunism by vast amounts of water and Plutonism by vast amounts of fiery sub-crustal magma upheavals. Lyell substituted "natural forces" such as weathering, and four billion years of it because he assumed Hutton's doctrine, "the present is the key to the past" in Earth history; it isn't. Near Eastern flood stories occur nine times in the oldest writing of the Near East, cuneiform on clay tablets.
In addition flood accounts occur in Hebrew, Egyptian, Greek, Armenian and Vedic Indian, suggesting a dating of 5, years ago or less. There is also a significant flood story in Chinese. The Ark Artifact at 6, feet, if accepted, throws Lyell's dogma into shambles.
Thus the Ark Artifact is an assault the central, sacrosanct dogma of modern geology, Lyell's uniformitarianism, or gradualism. If this site if verified, it throws historical geology into chaos. Gradualist geologists cannot imagine how Noah's Ark could be floated so high and so far, remain so famous despite their debunking. What they cannot imagine, or understand, they consider "impossible".
Such is the condition of late th century geology, and the thinking of the skeptic, Lorence Collins. Lorence G. Collins, Northridge California, a reputable geologist, has written an essay debunking and declaiming this Artifact site as "bogus", "pseudoscience" and as "a natural geological misidentification".
This is despite the fact that Collins has never been to the Ark Artifact Site to inspect its details, or to overview the local physical geography and geology. But local on site inspection is the basic method of geology. Boldly, Collins presents his guesses, opinions and conclusions as if they were facts.
Examples are "Bogus Noah's Ark Site", "has been misidentified", "understandable why early investigators falsely identified it", "supposed walls in the Ark Structure", "supposed iron bracket", etc. Collins frequently uses emotion-laden words and phrases intermixed with geological terminology intended to cast doubt, prejudice and rejection on this site without supplying any data.
Prejudicial words aside, without data, his analysis has no scientific substance. There is a parallel issue to the northerly relocation of Noah's Ark and its drogue stones a vast distance. The erratic boulders of South India also were located a vast distance into North India.
The erratic boulders of India, weighing up to tons, have been relocated northerly a distance of to 1, miles. This is farther in distance, but is the identical in direction to the relocation of Noah's Ark from Shuruppak to the Ark Artifact Site.
As is mentioned above, Ark's drogue stones anchor stones , the Indian erratics and high velocity water will be discussed in a second essay in debate with Collins and his material. One of three issues is highlighted in this essay. It is 1 the pattern of subsurface iron loci in spots reported by the metal detector and a "frequency generator".
The second issue is 2 the "drogue stones" apparently anchor stones located outside the village of Kazan, 15 miles to the northwest and the cause of Noah's Flood. The third issue is high velocity waters and tides. This essay is directed only to the issue of the subsurface iron loci, their flagging, and the lines their flags form. So far it is established that it is a nautical shape, a boat-like pattern, and the external measurements agree with the Genesis account when it is realized that the Genesis width is the average width and one is not dealing with a box-like Artifact.
And in and , Windsor entered Fasold's data into his computer, already rich with marine engineering data. Both Fasold in and Baumgartner found over 3, individual subsurface iron loci, or spots, which were duly flagged and recorded in logs.
Had the entire Ark Site been covered, Fasold estimates there would be a total count of 5, discrete iron loci. The iron loci are thought to be remains of ancient iron ship fittings.
Fasold, formerly a ships officer in the merchant marine, theorized, logically, that Noah would have used the hardest metal available for casting fittings.
Fasold was well aware than in Genesis 4, a pre-flood iron age is mentioned. It was dated at B. Samuel Windsor mech. This is a busy firm in the Ballard district of Seattle, specializing in marine engineering and naval architecture.
Windsor's co-owner, L. Bud Bronson, has degrees from the U. Naval Academy B. Bronson concurs with Windsor's analysis and conclusions. Fasold made his iron loci log data available to Windsor after Windsor confirmed some of the readings himself. As was mentioned, in Windsor then prepared a program and entered the data of the iron loci on his office computer. F8, F9. Collins announces, by avoiding the evidence, that there are no man-made designs or patterns within the Ark Artifact.
Nothing could be farther from the truth about this archaeological artifact. In his computer analysis, and with his marine engineering background, Windsor made a series of discoveries about the Fasold data of the iron loci. Fasold was astounded. There is no question of collusion between Fasold's findings and those of Windsor because in Fasold perceived only that the loci fell into lines typical of a floating marine artifact. Fasold published his data in l; Windsor did his computer analysis in , one year after his visit to the Ark Site.
Neither Fasold or his associates, Wyatt or Baumgartern, could have anticipated in advance what Windsor's computer would reveal concerning the Ark Artifact. Phi is a fascinating irrational number. For instance in numerical patterns, the square of phi is 2. The inverse of phi phi over one is. The inverse of phi squared is.
Thus the inverse of phi squared plus phi squared equals 3. The inverse of phi squared plus phi equals 2. The inverse of phi squared plus the inverse of phi equals 1.
In mathematics as in nature, 1. In nature, the phi ratio results in the spiral of least resistance. Another way to approximate phi is the "Fibonacci series". This series is where each new number is the sum of its two predecessors. Phi is approximated by dividing the last number by it preceding number. Examples are:. Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician of the 12th century who published Liber Abci.
He was the first European in the modern age to write on Arabian and Indian mathematics. Artists are interested in "phi", because the "phi" proportion is the most pleasing proportion for landscape paintings. A rectangle with phi as the width and one as the height is the "golden rectangle", so widely used in paintings. In marine biology, "phi" is of interest because the shell of the chambered nautilus spreads out like a phi spiral.
Botanists are interested in "phi" because the phi spiral it describes the sequence off branches coming of the trunk of a tree. And the phi spiral is noted in the seed pattern in the sunflower. Marine engineers are interested in "phi" because at the coast line, phi describes the curve of incoming breakers.
Meteorologists and climatologists are interested in phi because "phi" describes the spiral circulation of air in dust devils, in tornadoes, in typhoons, in hurricanes and in cyclones. Naval vessels are designed with "phi" in mind. It relates to minimizing water resistance for oceanic voyages. Phi 1. Or, put another wa, Nature "loves" phi.
But so, apparently, did the designer of the Ark artifact. Windsor considers "phi" was a basic relationship in the designing of the Ark. For instance, once the length and the required deck area were determined, it showed Noah how wide to built his vessel and where to locate the Moon Pool.
All of the phi ratios listed below were found by Windsor in the Ark Artifact from Fasold's data. This rules out any "chance geological formation". It calls into question the scientific scholarship by Collins, who did have the following data, but paid no attention to them.
Figures 1 and 2 are two of Windsor's several drawings of the Ark Artifact from his computer base. For Gilgamesh as an ascetic see Parpola a, Ephrem, is a mountain reflecting the ark in its disposition. The answer is simple. Both Christianity and Gnosticism are lineal descendants of the Assyrian church, whose belief system, temples and priesthood remained virtually intact until the beginning of the Christian era and centuries after it, despite the fall of the Empire.
Christianity originated in Galilee and the hinterlands of Samaria which were annexed to Assyria in and respectively as the provinces of Megiddo and Samaria. And they say When he comes to the end of his climb, he And many come, putting Then someone that stands beside the pillar calls it up; and And he never sleeps.

She suffered all kinds of contumely from them, so that she could not return upwards to her father, but was even shut up in a human body, and for ages passed in succession from one female body to another Thus she, passing from body to body, and suffering insults in every one of them, at last became a common prostitute; and she it was that was meant by the lost sheep.
