Cult author Charles Berlitz examines the legend of Noah’s Ark.Berlitz rose to great fame in the 1970-80s with his huge international best seller, The Bermuda Triangle. He became one of the world’s foremost explorers of ancient mysteries, linking myth and the paranormal to possible extra-terrestrial forces.Here he not only investigates one of mankind’s most enduring stories, but also provides answers to questions concerning the origins of our civilization, the historical validity of the Bible, and indeed the very nature of our collective destiny.High on a mountain in eastern Turkey there lies, seasonally visible under the ice and snow, a man-made object, older than recorded history, resembling a ship. Is it a ship, where no ship could be? If it is, could it be Noah’s Ark? Religious and archaeological expeditions to Ararat have increasingly focused world attention on the mysterious object on the mountain. It has been photographed from satellites and measured by subsurface radar. It has been carbon dated to prehistoric times, synching with the period of the Great Flood. Can this actually be Noah’s Ark?Charles Berlitz was born in New York in 1913, the grandson of Maximilian Berlitz, founder of the Berlitz language schools. He graduated with honours from Yale University and spoke thirty languages. He joined the family firm but sold it in the late 1960s. He became a noted writer on the paranormal and published a number of books including The Mystery of Atlantis, Mysteries from Forgotten Worlds, Without a Trace, The Lost Ship of Noah and The Dragon’s Triangle. He died in 2003.
