| December 2001 | 12.14 The Dick Bright & David Larsen Mount Ararat Photo Album has been added to NoahsArkSearch.com. Dick Bright has been on and around Mount Ararat 18 times from 1984 through 2001 and is the author of books including The Ark, A Reality, Quest for Discovery, and co-author of The Explorers Of Ararat: And the Search for Noah’s Ark. B.J. Corbin writes about Dick Bright in The Explorers Of Ararat, “I hope Richard ‘Dick’ Bright will not mind me considering him to be the ‘bulldog’ of ark researchers. His persistence in the search for the remains of Noah’s Ark is nearly unmatched. (I say ‘nearly’ where John McIntosh may be his equal in this regard). This is a much-needed quality to overcome the many frustrations associated with searching for the remains of Noah’s Ark.” | 12.14 The Gerrit Aalten Mount Ararat Photo Album has been added to NoahsArkSearch.com. Gerrit Aalten has been on and around Mount Ararat 3 times. More photos will be added in the future. | 12.14 Bill Crouse has an article with the view of an alternative landing place for Noah’s Ark in Answers in Genesis TJ (Technical Journal) Volume 15 Number 3. | 12.07 ArcImaging announces the release of its public “Search For Noah’s Ark” online presentation, which is also linked off ArcImaging’s website.

An illegal climber who wanted to take photos for his girlfriend died near the summit of Mount Ararat. Along with this story, also see the Ararat Peace Climb 2001 reports at the following links: Report 1 Report 2 Report 3 Report 4 Report 5 Report 6 Report 7 Report 8 Report 9 Report 10 Report 11. | 7.15 The Turkish Embassy confirmed to ArcImaging the following status on 2001 requests for Turkish Legal Permission to conduct research on Mount Ararat. All 2001 requests to conduct research on Mount Ararat have been officially denied except for two research organizations, ArcImaging and ARP. The appropriate Turkish Ministries and Officials are still discussing the timing for the planned research by ArcImaging and ARP as permission appears hopeful within the next year. | 7.10 Ataturk University reported to ArcImaging that there was an earthquake in Erzurum on July 10, 2001. There were scores of casualties caused from falling debris. The U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Information Center (based in Golden, Colorado) reported to ArcImaging that the earthquake’s magnitude was 5.1 on the Richter Scale although preliminary magnitudes are traditionally reported higher than the later, real magnitude, as is seen by CNN’s article which lists the magnitude at 5.4. One can see more earthquake related information on the USGS website. | June 2001 | 6.25 Angelo Palego has stepped over the line and is deliberately trying to deceive people just like Tom Crotser did in the 1970s and 1980s. Exactly like Crotser, Palego has resorted to doctoring photos on his website and does not even state that they are doctored. There are no public photos of Noah’s Ark. Palego must be realizing that his original photos he was presenting did not convince many people so now he has resorted to altering the photos by adding a boat-like structure. Refer to the December 2000 email to Angelo Palego challenging his evidence. The original photos without a boat-like structure are in his original booklet and were on his former websites. Palego has no science to back up his claims made on his website.Addendum: Five months after the doctored photographs were revealed and questioned, Palego revealed a new website that his associate Francesco Arduini says is the Official Angelo Palego website, which includes “elaborated” photographs with the original photo and a graphically-altered photo with Noah’s Ark added into it to illustrate graphically what Palego “believes” is under the ice. | 6.22 ArcImaging announced that it has received 50% funding commitment for the Ararat Sub-surface Survey from a Florida-based Foundation. The Foundation meeting in Florida was attended by ArcImaging’s Gary Pryor, B.J. Corbin and Rex Geissler.

6.13 2001 Ararat Peace Climb announcement. | 6.13 Former researcher and SEARCH Foundation President John Bradley’s Memorial is online. | 6.10 The 1948 Reshit Account has been added to NoahsArkSearch.com. | May 2001 | 5.28 The Bob Stuplich Ararat Airplane Photo Tour and Photo Album has been added to NoahsArkSearch.com. Bob’s Airplane Photo Tour as well as his other photos are extremely interesting. Bob Stuplich has climbed Mount Ararat 12 times, leading the climbing team on 11 of those climbs. Bob also co-authored The Explorers Of Ararat: And the Search for Noah’s Ark. | 5.14 The James Bryce Album has been added to NoahsArkSearch.com. | 5.14 The Elfred Lee Photo Album has been added to NoahsArkSearch.com and the B.J.

Please contact the ArcImaging Director of Finance Gary Pryor to apply for the ArcImaging Capitalization Proposal and subsequent tax-deductible contributions. | 5.1 The History Channel’s Ancient Mysteries: The Search for Noah’s Ark video is available at The History Channel Store and do a search for “Noah’s Ark. This documentary about the search for Noah’s Ark is the most up-to-date video available and does a good overall job of introducing this comprehensive subject and the history surrounding it. Due to time considerations, there were some considerable omissions such as only describing a few of the purported eyewitness accounts and expeditions and not detailing more of the research, especially Charles Willis, M.D. for carrying out the most scientific research expedition of all time on Ararat in 1988 by virtually eliminating the Eastern Plateau as a possible, final resting place for Noah’s Ark and crediting Scott Van Dyke for the most productive expedition for the aerial photographic mapping of Ararat with about 1-foot resolution. There was a definite mistake when mentioning the Ahmet Arslan photo/object in 1989 which is on the northeast side, then bouncing to B.J. Corbin talking about his 1989 Western Plateau expedition as if he were following up on Ahmet who took his photo the same year on the other side of the ice cap. The helicopter follow-up on Ahmet’s northeast photo was really a year later in 1990 and included Corbin, Don Shockey, Robin Simmons, George Adams, Walt Brown Ph.D., Carl Baugh, Ron Charles, Robert Summers, and Ed Cassady. There was a slight mistake in that the ice cap is about 17.5 square miles not 25 square miles. Also, although the item found about 20 meters away from the Durupinar site did look like a pottery shard, it was difficult to make out any of the alleged drawings on it without the aid of a visual layover. And we currently see nothing to write home about in the Ararat Anomaly area, which has apparently moved locations as well since the earlier days of the Ararat Anomaly.The History Channel video features ArcImaging’s B.J. Corbin and Rex Geissler, Elfred Lee, ARP’s John McIntosh, Lloyd Bailey, Porcher Taylor, and Rob Michelson.The new History Channel documentary on Ancient Mysteries: The Search for Noah’s Ark will be aired at the following times during May: Times listed are for Eastern Time Zones (Consult your TV Guide for local times) Tuesday, May 1 8:00 PM-9:00 PM Wednesday, May 2 12:00 AM-1:00 AM Wednesday, May 2 4:00 AM-5:00 AM Sunday , May 27 6:00 PM-7:00 PM (This air date was removed from the schedule for some reason and no other showings have been scheduled) Ancient Mysteries: The Search for Noah’s Ark, 60 min. Arthur Kent hosts this study of the world’s fascination with the Bible story of Noah’s ark and efforts to find the vessel on Mount Ararat in Turkey. Satellite photos, film footage and stills from expeditions are shown as scientists, theologians and historians contribute their theories and beliefs on the existence of the ark and its possible location. Artist Elfred Lee, who has drawn representations of the ark from accounts given by two persons who claimed to have seen it, theorizes that locating Noah’s ark would be “the greatest archaeological find in human history.” The hour traces sightings back to 275 B.C., and includes accounts of flood stories from other cultures. The great flood that destroyed the world except for Noah, his family, and herd would probably be dismissed as legend–if not for other ancient evidence suggesting the presence of a once-massive flood. Instead, the search for Noah’s Ark continues to this day–one of the most controversial searches for one of the largest items described in the Bible.
