All plans are still "GO" for a joint U.S.-Turkish team of explorers to brave the mountains of Ararat in eastern Turkey in order to reach the site of what they are confident is Noah's Ark. This well-planned, well-equipped and well-financed expedition is scheduled for the timeframe of July 15 to August 15 this summer. Satellite photos from the same period last year have convinced the expedition planners that receding snow and ice has now presented an excellent window of opportunity for exploration. As emphasized when the expedition was first announced on April 26, 2004, they plan to make available live worldwide video coverage of the ark directly on the spot, by mid-August. This expedition appears to have greater prospects for success than any of its predecessors. The whole world will be watching if they are able to fulfill their intended mission. Public disclosure of the ark at this point in time could have far-reaching implications.
