Ahmet Ertugrul, from Turkey who is commonly called Parasut, discovered Noah's Ark. He realized that this is an extremely important find to the whole world. He was not willing to share it with the many people he came in contact with, who were visiting Mt Ararat looking for Noah's Ark as he expected most would plunder it and try to take the glory for themselves. History proves he was right. Eventually he met people he felt he could trust that were from the Hong Kong-based Noah’s Ark Ministries International (NAMI).
Parasut has constructed Noah’s Village (in the background, at the left), which is a visitor center, library and museum complex, complete with hotels, cabins, and restaurants planned to accommodate the visitors drawn to this famous mountain.
I personally, and millions of others from around the world want to publicly thank Parasut for the incredible work he has done trying to keep Noah's Ark from looters and grandstanders. However, that has come at a pretty stiff price. Shortly after NAMI announced that the real Noah's Ark had been found, some professionals started accusing Parasut of being a fraud and the NAMI data as a hoax. But what really happened? We don't know the exact details, but Parasut and the fake critics both have eluded to what happened. As from the beginning Parasut, did not share it's location for obvious reasons. Some archaeologists with big egos felt they were entitled to the site and Parasut said no. I applaud Parasut in how he handled the situation. People with big egos and no class often retaliate when told no. We have other articles on this site dedicated to exposing these false accusations where they used totally unscientific wild claims to smear Parasut's and NAMI's reputation. You can read about these corrupt accusers in a document posted online by a Harvard educated archaeologist Dr. Joel Klenck HERE. Sadly several large organizations and ministries echo'ed those accusations without verifying the claims. Of course the godless media embellished the accusations and the situation snowballed.
It is easy to accuse someone of fraud in a foreign country and of a possibly different religion if you are trying to get the glory for yourself, or promote yourself as an expert.
In addition to protecting Noah's Ark, Parasut also likely did some incredible work that I have not heard anyone talking about. See the picture at right.
Does anybody think that is how that location has been after these few thousand years? Of course not. Notice that many of those rocks will fall when the area gets just a little warmer, maybe later on in the summer. Someone has gone up there and likely removed several tons of rock and debris so people could easily access this location and see the wooden structure. I believe it was Parasut with possibly some help that did that. No that is NOT a movie set under tons of rock and ice. Again, Thank You Parasut! That is difficult work at approximately 14,000 feet elevation.
Ahmet (Parasut) Ertugrul Interview
Below is a video interview by Henri Nissen (in 2 parts) with Ahmet Ertugrul who again goes by the handle of Parasut.
After I viewed the video interview, I gained quite a bit of respect for Parasut. Listen to when Mr. Ahmet Ertugrul speaks. Those are not the words of a fraudster. They are the words of someone who cares. It was not fraud or a religious power play. It was a caring person doing the right thing. We call that being righteous. He chose a Christian group to declare the Noah's Ark find to the world. That shows genuine charactor. You watch the videos and you be be the judge.
