Beyond Coincidence

photographs revealed somewhat of an unusual structure, as if it appeared to be rising out of the ground. The land mass symmetry did not appear to be of a natu- ral origin in conjunction with the surround- ing terrain. This intriguing photo led to further investigation in 1960 by an expe-
Counter Weight Stones, used to steady the ark in rough seas. On day two, Noah’s homesite and Noah’s Wife’s grave site were found. Finally on day three, the big prize – the location of the 510 foot long mound of earth rising from the ground. After the third day of investigation, it was time to begin the trip back home since it takes three days to return to Ankara, then catch a flight back home, which takes 14 hours by air — nonstop. The logistics of traversing Turkey was cumbersome in 1977, and aviation did not have nonstop flights from America directly landing in the Middle East as we do today. By Ron’s journal of their timeline, they arrived Tuesday August 9 in Ankara Turkey. Three days were spent traveling east across the country. They arrived Fri- day August 12 in Dogubeyazit. Once in Dogubeyazit, they had three days of in- vestigation of the three rock mounds that were left along the road of the stalled Taxi trip into the city. That takes the timeline up to Monday August 15, 1977. This is the date when Ron and the boys began heading back to Ankara Turkey to catch a flight back to America. They arrived back in Ankara on Thurs- day August 18, taking a picture of the local newspaper showing Elvis Presley had passed away two days before their arrival on Tuesday August 16. Besides the numerous God-affirming miracles from Ron’s diary of the trip, what I am about to connect to this story is mind bog- gling. To my knowledge and research, there has never been a connection of Ron Wyatt’s discovery of Noah’s Ark and the most unusual radio signals ever re- ceived from space – The “WOW signal” of 1977.

Per the following link — https://ronwy- attarchives.com/noahs-ark-wyatt/noahs- ark-ch-2-ron-wyatt-1977-turkey/ — Ron and his boys arrived on Tuesday August 9, 1977. It took three days of ground lo- gistics buying tickets and a long train ride,
Ron’s diary of events of his first trip, help to establish that God’s providential hand was behind his efforts in finding the re- mains and the resting place of Noah’s Ark. One of these providential circum- stances was enroute to their destination and hotel room. Ron
Jesus stated in the book of Matthew chapter 24, “as the days of Noah, would the coming of the Son of Man be.” This is a broad and open-ended statement. What is being implied? Is it just one type of behavior, a spiritual attribute, or a com- bination of many similarities? I would have to concur with a combination of sim- ilarities. Wouldn’t it be intriguing if during this time period of Matthew chapter 24, the remains of Noah’s Ark was discov- ered? Getting an affirmation in the “Heavens” as to “well done good and faithful servant,” to the very man who helped discover it and shared it to the World! This is what I am proposing for Ron Wyatt and his two sons during mid-month August 1977, and a trip to Turkey they took 48 years ago. Ron Wyatt is a well known Biblical Archeologist. Some of his supernatural discoveries include the Red Sea Crossing location of Moses, the true Mt. Sinai in Saudi Arabia, and the Ark of the Covenant. Ron Wyatt is reported to have done over 100 trips to the Biblical lands of Asia Minor and the Middle East. The main point of this article is to shed light on his first trip in search of Noah’s Ark. It was the year of 1977, the month was August and the location was Dogubeyazit, Turkey. The mission was to investigate a mound of dirt arising from the earth, that had similarities to the length of Noah’s Ark (510 feet). What in- trigued Ron’s imagination was aerial sur- veillance photographs compiled by the United States Military during the 1950s. The military was looking for possible Russian missile launch sites in the moun- tain ranges of Ararat, which borders Rus- sia, Turkey, and Iran. One of the aerial

way of Ron’s Biblical thinking. Ron had earned two weeks of paid vacation, and decided to use this vacation time to travel to Turkey. This way he could investigate for himself. Ron and his two sons departed on Mon- day, August 8, 1977, for Dogubeyazit, Turkey, the closest town to the 1960 ex- pedition site. The three Wyatt family members left together, literally trying to find a needle in a haystack. With nothing more than a few clues from previous con- versations, Ron had with some of the original members the 1960 expedition with him. The Wyatt family was embark- ing on a journey to find Noah’s Ark. How could Ron and his two boys come across a 510-foot length mound of dirt, among the hundreds of square miles in the mountain ranges of Mt. Ararat? Only one answer – BUT GOD.
traversing the countryside of Turkey. Ron and the boys had landed in Ankara which is in Western Turkey. They needed to travel east to the furthest eastern part of Turkey which borders Iran. Ron and his boys arrived on Friday August 12, 1977 in the town of Dogubeyazit. They arrived with the plan to rent horses and ride in mountain ranges for clues with information from the 1960 expedition. Since it was Friday, a Muslim Holy day, the locals did not want to rent them their horses. Strike one. But they managed meet a pair of local guides who were em- phatic about showing them some of the interesting rock formations in the area. At the very end of their stay in Dogubeyazit, these same guides would later be in- volved trying to rob them as they were getting ready to check out of their local hotel room.
About five minutes after praying while they approached the Dogubeyazit area, their taxi motor engine began to stall and quit. Ron saw this as a sign from God. So, as the taxi driver went out lifting the hood to find the problem, Ron and the boys piled up a mound of rocks by the roadside to mark the location. Miracu- lously, the taxi restarted in a few minutes. The taxi motor stalled again another two more times after running a few minutes then stalling and restarting. Each location the taxi stalled, Ron and his boys would get out of the taxi and mark the location by placing a pile of rocks near the road- way. They would use these as markers on the land over the next three days as starting points to walk into the mountain range.
On the first day, they found the Ark’s
