What If Noah's Ark Was Discovered?

2)The Bible is based in old myths and legends. That doesnt mean some aspects arent true, just that they are exaggerated.

This is true to a point.
There is something lost during translation. Except in the cases of first hand accounts (eg.. Exodus and The Gospals) the accounts had been handed down through generations verbaly before being put into print. No doupt in my mind that the accounts had changed from one telling to another and the details were lost or changed but the events had happened.

Wouldn't it be funny if they really did find it on the side of a snow covered mountain....but got caught in a horrific blizzard and had to burn the wood to survive? Does petrified animal doo smoke well?

I did watch a show that did show evidence of a small, localized flood. Silt, the (whichever lake it was) lake`s changing boundaries, etcetera.

So, in a way, it does make sense that within the limited scope of knowledge of the recorders of that day`s events, it seemed as if it were a worldwide flood. That area was the world to them.

So maybe some dude did save his family and some local herbivorous wildlife/farm animals by throwing them all into a boat and moving to dry land.

That really would not explain why a giant boat is on top of a mountain (assuming there is one).
