This headline worked and caught my attention:
It is a fun press release with some substantial problems.
if the Turkish government does not guard the prehistoric barge on Mount Ararat, the Partiya Karkeren Kurdistane (“PKK”), a violent Marxist organization, will find the structure, loot the artifacts worth at least $100 million dollars, supporting attacks against Turkey for several decades.
First of all, plenty of people have debunked the discovery. Only one person has allegedly seen the ark, and one of the photos provided as proof as identified as a known ancient site near where he lives.
Secondly, even if you were the purest of people, taking just one relic from the site, getting it authenticated, and selling it for “millions” would be an expected move.
Thirdly, if it had any chance of being real, a Turkish archaeologist would get in contact, get funds from the government, and take a look.
Lastly, the Mt Ararat of today wasn’t called Mt Ararat in biblical times. This is a rookie error.
This mountain was not called by the name Ararat until the Middle Ages; early Armenian historians considered the biblical Ararat to be in Corduene
