In Search of Noah's Ark, by Gilles Van Grasdorff

Observing the wickedness and perversity of men, God decided to bring down a flood on the earth to destroy all life there. Only one man, Noah, just and honest, found favor in his eyes. God told him to build an ark... Such is the biblical story.

Since the beginning of our era, the search for the material remains of Noah's ark has been an obsession for believers. On April 26, 2010, a group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers claimed to have discovered the remains of Noah's Ark, frozen in the ice of Mount Ararat, in the far east of Turkey. The wreckage of the ark was discovered there for the first time in 1876...

Based on the stories of monotheistic religions and historical documents, Gilles Van Grasdorff conducted the investigation. His book is an initiatory journey to the origins of humanity, through the study of one of its most beautiful myths, present in all religions.
