Default What about the Ark crew?

Was their not in the news about four or five months ago a crew going to find the arch on Mnt. Ararat? I think they said that they were going in August. Well I suppose there were no follow up reports on their obvious falier?

Project abandoned because of security concerns

Quote:

Daniel McGivern, president of Shamrock-The Trinity Corp., was notified Wednesday that the search won't get off the ground. An official at the Turkish Embassy in Washington, D.C., wrote that his application to do research on the mountain "was declined by the relevant Turkish authorities due to the security restrictions."

Yeah, blame it on the Turkish government. If they would have gone there, they would have come back with all of these amazing tales about what they found only to claim that the Turkish government confiscated all of their iron clad evidence.

It does make me roll my eyes when I hear of things like this .. expeditions to find the Ark, or the Holy Grail (we are the knights who say Ni! Ni Ni Ni Ni!!), or the One True Cross (and how the HELL would you identify THAT? 'hey guys! I've found a piece of wood that looks kinda old. What do you reckon??'). Seems like an excuse to waste a hell of a lot of money and time, with inevitable conclusions.
