And the search continues
August 30, 2012
Why would a Hollywood beauty risk life and limb (not to mention some likely teasing) in search of what many people believe to be a myth? D'Errico said that she was inspired to search for Noah's Ark ever since she was a child after seeing a movie about it. D'Errico told ABC News, "I know what I'm doing and I know that this is my lifelong dream and I believe in the Bible," she said—referring to Genesis 8:4, which states "on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat."

D'Errico may be the most recent (and perhaps the highest-profile) searcher, but in fact, Noah's Ark has been "found" many times. Nearly 40 years ago, Violet M. Cummings, author of "Noah's Ark: Fable or Fact?" (Creation-Science Research Center, 1973) claimed — without evidence — that Noah's Ark had been found on Mount Ararat. According to her book and film "In Search of Noah's Ark," (Scholastic Book Services), "there is now actual photographic evidence that Noah's Ark really does exist. ... Scientists have used satellites, computers, and powerful cameras to pinpoint the Ark's exact location on Mt. Ararat." Nearly 40 years later, that evidence remains elusive.

Like those before her, D'Errico insists that her quest is based in science as much as personal faith. True believers have long used science and powerful technology in their search for Noah's Ark, including satellite imaging and powerful cameras. She was quoted in The Daily Mail as saying that she had studied the reports of Noah's Ark extensively, and she "knows where the sightings have been. According to my research, the ark lays broken into at least two, but most likely three, pieces."
