THE RIDDLE OF ARARAT
by Robin Simmons

The story of a cataclysmic flood and a lone family that survives in a hand-made boat is one of the oldest stories of our global culture. Hundreds of similar but apparently independent versions exist all over the planet. Is it possible that this epic myth is based on fact? Even more fantastic, could
the great Ark of Noah be preserved, right now, in the icy reaches of Mount Ararat?

Mt Ararat Expedition
August 2001
Thur, 09 Aug 2001 (via cell phone from the side of Mt Ararat!!)

We celebrated National Day on the side of Mt Ararat. Reached 3000 meters, our first camp. We will move up and set up the next camp at 4200 meters. If the weather permits, we will make an attempt for the summit on Saturday or Sunday.

Everyone's in good health... eating well and drinking lots of water etc... Weather, a bit of cloud cover but that clears up later in the day.

Checking out
