so if these claims made by this particular individual were scientifically verified to the highest level of your satisfaction, would that lead you to believe that this is the Ark of Noah

i would say higher/better than that.

a) this person is a grifter and is seeking to make his fortune on suckering a bunch of ill informed idiots about a fairy tale

b) this guy's claims of finding subterranean structure is accurate and there truly is something beneath the surface as his proposed findings have found

we agree. no doubt there would be a major pivot if his findings were verified.

I think the story of Noah’s arc is based on a myth much much older than the biblical geneology suggests. I highly doubt that there is a boat on Mt. Ararat, but I do believe that there were some truly massive floods that likely killed off 80%+ of the human population at the time as well as destroyed multiple advanced seafaring agricultural civilizations. These floods were likely triggered by a comet strike on the North American ice sheet, which triggered rapid melting of the ice sheet as well as a nuclear winter and a firestorm over North America.

The melting ice raised mean sea levels dramatically, creating Seas out of large areas that used to be fertile river valleys and inundating the continental shelves which were once exposed coastal plains. The Mediterranean, Red, Black, Caribbean, South China, Baltic, Bering, East China, Java, Okhotsk, and Japanese Seas as well as the Persian Gulf and Gulf of America would have all gone from dry land to open ocean extremely rapidly. It is possible that the entire Persian Gulf could have been filled in a month. We’re talking millions of square miles disappearing. Imagine if Texas disappeared overnight. Now imagine if 20 Texas’s all over the globe disappeared between now and Halloween. In North America, the collapse of the ice sheet formed the Great Lakes as well as massive canyons and gorges formed by tremendous floods.

These three factors combined to kill off the megafauna and collapse virtually any and every urban civilization on the planet. Those that survived the firestorm, starved or froze to death during the nuclear winter. Those who survived the nuclear winter drowned in the floods. Those who survived floods of such magnitude likely found primitive hunter-gatherers living inland and became the teachers of civilization. We see these myths in countless cultures.

So, in short, I subscribe to the theory that there was a massive cataclysm at the end of the last ice age which included large floods that did not cover the earth but did cover nearly everywhere ice age humans actually lived with any population density. The survivors (whether they escaped floods on boats or fires by burrowing underground) created oral traditions to preserve the memory of the cataclysm as they attempted to rebuild the civilizations that were destroyed. The legend of Noah’s Ark is just one example.
