Arks are on the minds many who seek to ride out the current economic storm. Archaeologist Randall Price, who is director of Liberty University's new Center for Judaic Studies, seeks $60,000 to hike up Mount Ararat and (once again) disinter the Ark attributed to Noah.
Tony Cartledge explains:
Price says he is following up on a lead from a shepherd who claims he remembers playing on the ark as a boy. Supposedly, he led Price to the spot -- at 15,000 feet -- last September, where they expected to find the ark buried in a glacier, but discovered nothing more than a 60-foot-deep pile of boulders. The article says that "Price believes the landslide may have resulted from attacks against Kurdish rebels on the mountain, or perhaps from explosives that were set off to cover up the ark."
"That seems almost like a fairy story," Price told AP.
Choke, cough. Cartledge offers a blistering perspective on how much of one.
