N2144: Hagopian visited the ark with his uncle around 1908
Edited by Greg Neyman
Argument:
A local Armenian boy named George Hagopian visited the ark with his uncle in the year 1908 and 1910 (other accounts say 1902. The ark was on the edge of a cliff, and its wood was like stone. He reported these details to ark searchers in 1970

Response:
-
The ark was hard to get to by many accounts, yet this boy and his friends easily travelled there. This conflicts with accounts from other explorers
-
The measurements Hagopian took are too large for the ark (1000 feet long to 480 in the Bible)
-
It was as hard as stone. It probably was stone...a geologic feature resembling roughly the shape of the ark
