Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The discovery of Noah's Ark is one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century, solving a mystery that has puzzled scientists for many centuries. The story of the clues which led to its detection - not on Mount Ararat, as had been thought, but on Mount Mahser Dagi (the Doomsday Mountain) some 17 miles to the south - is astonishing, and the material uncovered reveals much about life in the Middle East thousands of years BC. David Fasold headed one of the last teams to be allowed excavation rights in Turkey, and he dedicated years of his life and considerable sums of his own money to searching for the Ark. This book recounts the story of his quest and the eventual realization that he had succeeded when the dimensions of his find matched up exactly to those given in the Book of Genesis. Drilling samples subsequently revealed that the boat had not been made of wood, as was commonly supposed, but of reed and a kind of cement. Fasold's site has now been sealed off and officially declared the landing place of Noah's Ark by the Turkish Government. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition, First Printing. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling with hints of age-toning on the edges of the textblock; Still Gift Quality. 9.5 inches tall; 331 pages; map endpages; illustrated. Appears unread. Fasold, a marine engineer and researcher, draws on both field investigations and historical analysis to investigate one of history's most enduring mysteries: the possibility that Noah's Ark, described in the Bible, was a real, historical vessel. He explores Mount Ararat and the accounts of purported Ark sightings. His work is grounded in practical experience, as he examines the structural feasibility of the Ark and the credibility of claims regarding its discovery, blending technical assessment with historical inquiry. The book situates Fasold's own expeditions within a broader context of biblical archaeology, addressing previous explorations, scholarly debate, and controversies surrounding interpretations of the Ark narrative. While some claims remain speculative, Fasold's narrative communicates the excitement and challenges of field research, the allure of biblical history, and the human fascination with uncovering ancient mysteries. The writing is accessible to both lay readers and those interested in archaeological methodology, making complex technical and historical details engaging.
