| Follow Up: Cryptid Carcass - Near Boutte / Paradis, Louisiana Posted: 24 Jan 2011 01:26 PM PST  MUFON CMS - near Boutte and Paradis, LA - 3/2/2007 - unedited: The night of this occurrence I was on my way back from Houma, Louisiana. I was working as a courier and I was transporting film from a theatre in Houma back to the New Orleans airport close to where I live in Kenner, Louisiana. Attached is a digital photo of a red mustang that I saw and took a picture of by the accident scene I witnessed on 3-2-2007 around 2:15 a.m. near Boutte and Paradis, Louisiana. I passed this accident scene and I was so amazed by it I turned around and made a U turn so I could take some pictures of it. I then noticed that other cars passing this accident scene were going very fast as if they did not see anything occurring. For some reason all of the passing cars were traveling in the left lane. This prevented them from hitting the police car and going over the animal but they were not slowing down. When I pulled up to the accident scene for the second time I saw two police cars on the scene. One police car was in front of the animal that was laying across the right lane of the road. I noticed the windows of this police car were BLACK and I could not see anything inside of the car. The other police car was behind the red car that was just a few feet down the road but they were in the emergency lane. I could see the back of a policeman and the front of a man standing next to the red car. The man that apparently was the driver of the car was moving his hands in the air as if to be in a deep conversation with the police officer. This man was about 6 feet tall with dark hair and he was dressed nicely. I noticed he did not have a scratch on his face yet his vehicle was badly damaged. I came very close to getting out of my car and speaking with these two people but I did not. I have pictures but police have NO record of this accident taking place! I spoke with a very nice police officer in the early morning hours of 3-5-2007 about this occurrence and his name is "Clint." Clint works for the St. Charles Parish Police Department. He informed me that on the night of 3-2-2007 he patroled highway 90 not far from the 310 entrance and this is exactly where the occurrence happened. He was also on duty at the exact time of the occurrence. Clint stated that he did not see anything like this occur and there is no report of it. In fact NO police departments have any reports of a huge animal being hit on the road in this area but I have the picture of this strange looking LARGE animal below! I believe the police officer was being honest but this adds even more mystery to this event. It appears to be a mixture of many different animals. It has a long tail and it's head appeared to me as a beautiful golden head of a Camel on the night of the occurrence. A few months ago a friend of mine went with me to the Audubon Zoo here in New Orleans and we showed the image of this animal to a zoologist. He said he would be the one to speak with about this strange animal that we wanted to show him the digital image of. He looked it over carefully and was amazed at what he saw. He said he had never seen an animal like this and could not figure out what type it could be. Crytozoologists cannot make out what type it is either. It appears to be made up of many different animals. The average person might call it a cow, horse, etc but close observation shows it is not any one animal type. I have the original sd card saved of the pictures I captured that night. I did this to prove that my images have not been edited or manipulated. The only thing done to any image below is the car was lightened because the image was to dark to see prior to lightening it. If you look close at the road that the animal is lying on you can see a circular pattern on it as if something landed there. One of the zoomed in images of the 3 UFO's in they sky above the occurrence shows intense colors and energy about it. Notice the mustang car has an alien figure that appears on the side of it with what looks like a hand holding some type of phone. The back part of the car appears ghostly was if it vanishes. Oddly the men on the scene of this accident do not appear in any of the pictures. The strange animal was huge and covered the whole right side of the lane. After I arrived back home I called all of the police departments in the area of occurrence including the state police and no one had any record of this incident occurring. I spoke with the St. Charles Police Department where the incident occurred and they stated that any time an animal is hit in there area everyone knows about it. They had not record of it and the cars passed the accident scene very fast as if they did not see anything. Approximately 8 hours later I drove back to the area of this occurrence with my dad and NOTHING was there! There was NO blood on the pavement, no animal, no car, nothing! I know exactly where this occurred because this is the only route I take coming back from Houma to Kenner. It is right by where I get on 310 that takes me back to the Kenner area. Highway 90 is the only way to and from where I live to Houma, La. Highway 90 near Boutte, La is where this incident occurred. During this event I noticed a stillness like no other and it was as if the universe was standing still for a few moments. A very enlightening and moving experience! I have my own beliefs in regards to what I witnessed since I have always had a very strong faith in God. After this incident I have been able to share a lot of information to many people in regards to aliens and there purpose for visiting us here on earth. (1.7 Million on Myspace) The book of ezekiel has many passages that express words that would make us think of modern day UFO's. I do know that I did my research and what I witnessed that night was not from earth. The image of this strange animal is unlike anything here on earth. In fact when I arrived back home I zoomed in on the image of this animal and at the head appears a very evil looking image of something. I have this image below also. I do have the original images saved on the original SD card from the digital camera I used that night to take the pictures. Of course now I wish I would have tried to make contact with the men on the scene but at the time I did not know how signifacant this event would turn out to be. I have had some other incidents where I witnessed UFO's etc, but not quite like the night of 3-2-2007. There was an incident this same year (2007) near Kentwood, La that I witnessed. It involved 2 18 wheeler trucks and one was on fire. After I passed the 18 wheeler that was in flames a triangular shaped UFO hovered over the woods very close to my car. I did not have time to take a picture but viewing it gave me a wonderful feeling. I felt as if the aliens in the craft had great knowledge and held the answers to many unexplained questions we seek. The UFO took off in the direction of the 18 wheeler on fire. I made the next exit (about 3 miles or so) to head back in the direction of the UFO. When traveling back I heard fire trucks but then nothing was found in the area of occurrence. I do have a picture of one of the trucks laying across the interstate. I plan to go back the the area of Boutte, Paradis, la more often and I hope I can capture something significant to share with many people. I have looked over these images many times and there are even some words that appear at the bottom of the image of the car but I cannot make them out. I shared these images with numerous priests and pastor's and they believe I was blessed with the gift of Visions. (Joel 2:28) I have a a very STRONG faith in God over MANY years! I will keep my faith! Charles ---------- UPDATE 1/24/2011: This is an addition to an earlier report that I posted in regards to what I witnessed back on March 2, 2007 on highway 90 near Boutte, La. Please search the data base here under the date March 2, 2007 for more information about this case. (Louisiana) Tonight I watched the movie Phoenix lights and I discovered something that shocked me. I noticed that the large ufo's that were witnessed there by thousands of people have the same shape as the ufo(s) in the sky above the animal I captured the picture of in 2007. It is a large V shape and it looks exactly like what they describe and show in the movie. It gives me the chills when I think about it! This makes me believe that what I thought was 3 ufo's in the sky over the animal could be one large ufo like the ones over phoenix years ago. That means these particular aliens could be the same ones that flew over Phoenix and areas of Arizona years ago. I have studied the image of the car and animal many hours going back to 2007. I will add some more information that I have noticed by studying the images and include it in this post. The huge animal on the road that appears to be made up of numerous types of animals is bloated. Bloating usually occurs many days AFTER an animal is dead. Highway 90 where I captured this image is a major road with traffic so there is no way possible that this animal could have sat there for days! It had to have been dropped or set there by these ufo(s). Note the animal, glass, large pool of blood from animal, car, etc had all vanished when I went back to this area about 8 hours later! There is NO way that the blood from the animal could have been cleaned up to show no stains on the highway 8 hours after the accident. Also note that several faces appear on the animals body. When I witnessed this event it felt like time stood still and there was a quiet like I have never experienced before! There is also a circular pattern near the animal that looks like something like a ufo might have landed on the highway. It also looks like part of the animal might have been surgically opened on parts of it's body by someone or something. The other image I captured that night is of a mustang car. It appears to be the vehicle that struck the animal. But like many people say the damage to it would be much greater if it actually struck this animal. There were two men on the scene that night but the police have no record of this occurring. I spoke with all police departments in that area including state police. I actually spoke with an officer that was patrolling the exact highway and time of occurrence and he saw nothing. I believe they are all telling the truth. Was the image of the police officer, the other well dressed man, and the car created to make it look like a car accident? Could this be because the animal was accidentally dropped from the alien craft? I really do not know but I do have my own beliefs about the representation of this event. The car from that night has an image of what looks like an alien on the side drivers door. I have a zoomed in image saved of this. I have studied this image and it is obvious that the alien is holding something in it's hand. It is blurry and hard to tell what it is. To me it looks like someone with blue clothes on and a blue cone shaped hat on their head. This person seems to be hugging a little girl. Are they trying to send us a message with this image? But why? What does it mean? I am certain that this event was not from this earth! 100 percent certain!! This is why I want other's that are experts with photography, aliens, ufo's, etc to help me learn more about what occurred. I am just as curious about aliens, ufo's etc as many other people are! I know that what I captured is significant and unusual evidence that can help us to discover what we seek to know! I also know like most all of us know that the gov't is also very interested in learning more about aliens and ufo's. I believe they want to learn more about alien craft for air national defense advantages. I am all for national security I just wish they would give public disclosure and admit what they know. Lately gov't vehicles have been watching me when I travel to the area of my Vision from 2007. For those that don't know marked and un marked gov't vehicles are almost always either black or white in color with solid black tinted windows. I saw many of these vehicle here 2 weeks post Katrina the largest disaster in U.S. history. I am including a NEW video I posted on youtube in this post here. This video is of the PICTURE I captured of the animal form that night. It is lite up better so you can see more detail. I will also include the zoomed in image that looks like the alien is holding something in the air. This image appears on the drivers side door of the strange car. I will also include my Hacebook and youtube url for those that want to know more about my beliefs and info in regards to this event. I hope that together we can help to both prove that aliens exist and also learn from them and solve the mysteries we seek answers to! Click for video Click for video Description: Last night I posted on facebook that I would be traveling out to the Visions area (highway 90). This is the area where I witnessed an animal on highway 90 that appears not to be from this earth. Numerous zoologists and cryptozoologists have looked at the photo of this animal and they cannot determine what kind of animal it is! Many say it looks like it is made up of many types of different animals. I witnessed this back on March 2, 2007 and there was a mustang on the scene with two police cars there. The mustang was damaged as if it struck the animal and the front windshield was shattered. Two people were on the scene and one appeared to be the driver of the car and the other a police officer. I looked into one of the two police cars on the scene and the windows of the car were so black I could not even see in the front window! The pictures I captured where from inside my car since this whole thing looked strange. This is why I decided to capture only two pictures that night. About 8 hours later when I went back to the scene there was no blood from the animal, no animal, no car, no glass, nothing! Everything had vanished and the police departments in the area have no record of this occurring! See my other videos for pictures of the animal and car and more info. Last night the two vehicles you see in this video appear to block me for miles so I cannot pass them. These trucks were black and white with BLACK tinted windows. The same color vehicles that the government used during Katrina when they were in the New Orleans area. These vehicles do not have gov't plates but I am sure they have some vehicles that are not marked as being owned by the gov't. The strangest thing is the white vehicle has the word SPY on it's plate. I have never seen any plate with that word on it. Maybe a statement that we are watching you? The vehicle passed me and slowed down as if to make sure I noted that it had black tinted windows and the word SPY on the plate. Maybe this is there way of letting me know they are also watching this area with me? I know that the gov't has great interest in UFO's and aliens! Next time I will have to go without noting what I am doing publicly so maybe I can capture something from another planet in the area. I know we all want to know the truth and learn more about aliens! Charles NOTE: My best guess is that this was a dead bloated bovine that fell off a transport. It does seem that the witness is somewhat concerned since posting the report and photo. If, for whatever reason' 'Charles' reads this post...please contact me at Phantoms and Monsters email...Lon       |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2011 12:58 PM PST  Shiver me timbers... I've heard the Southern Ocean attracts a hardy individual but a block of wood on an iceberg is ridiculous. This lonely piece of timber was spotted on the top of a small berg at 66 degrees south, just north of Commonwealth Bay. Wildlife watchers near Aurora Australis' bridge first thought it was a relaxing seal but it was soon apparent it was rectangular in shape. How it got to such a prominent position, instead of just floating around, is anyone's guess. Since it is lifeless and non-magnetic, its baffling position won't be due to the fact that we are very close to the south magnetic pole. Yes, we are near the wandering point in the earth's surface where the geomagnetic field lines are vertical, rather than lying across the planet from pole to pole. Normal compasses don't work in this region. The one I have brought on board is now confused by all the iron in the ship. The south magnetic pole was positioned on the Antarctic continent 100 years ago. It has since wandered out to sea due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field. ********** Woman left paralyzed by love bite abc.net.au - A woman was temporarily partially paralyzed by a love bite on her neck from her amorous partner, doctors reported in the New Zealand Medical Journal. The 44-year-old New Zealand woman went to the emergency department of Middlemore Hospital in Auckland last year after experiencing loss of movement in her left arm while watching television. Doctors concluded the woman had suffered a mild stroke but were puzzled about its cause until they found a small vertical bruise on her neck - a love bite or hickey - near a major artery. She had received the love bite a few days earlier. "Because it was a love bite there would be a lot of suction," one of the doctors who treated her, Teddy Wu, told the Christchurch Press. "Because of the physical trauma it had made a bit of bruising inside the vessel. There was a clot in the artery underneath where the hickey was." Dr Wu says the clot dislodged and travelled to the woman's heart where it caused a minor stroke that led to the loss of movement. "We looked around the medical literature and that example of having a love bite causing something like that hasn't been described before," he said. The medic said the woman recovered after being treated with an anti-coagulant. ********** MUFON Investigator Sees Alien Being You're a MUFON investigator and your chief investigator hands you an ongoing case. It seems multiple witnesses were seeing "orange fireballs," red and white lights in the Tennessee sky that would cluster…as many as 27 together." This happened in April and you contact the main witness about these sightings. The witness claims this happens almost every night and you schedule an on-site investigation the following week. However, Mother Nature has a different schedule and the 2010 floods hit the good state of Tennessee. Locked down for another week you finally are able to get out to the person's house who claims now the lights are coming closer and he is seeing helicopters. You pack your bag and you're off to the UFO Witness' house and the lights in the sky.

The country has become one of the driest in the EU, according to local media, and climatologists say the land, and crucial underground water supplies, are drying up. Professor Michal Marek, head of the EU-funded CzechGlobe climate change research project, told IPS: "The Czech Republic is already seeing the effects of climate change in more frequent extreme weather events and changes in biodiversity. "But possibly the most important change is in the increasing drying out of the landscape as drier periods get longer and are followed by bursts of intense rainfall which the dry soil cannot absorb. This has a very significant effect on underground water supplies." Climatologists and meteorologists in central Europe have said that the region is seeing more and more extreme weather including long periods of dry and hot weather in the summer, severe flooding and bitter winter weather. While not all parts of central and Eastern Europe will necessarily have the same problems as the Czech Republic with underground water supplies because of local geological conditions and other factors, heavy rains falling on ground dried out by long periods of hot weather and unable to absorb water can increase the risk of flooding. Poland, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria and Germany have all been hit by devastating floods in the last two years. - Continue reading at ipnews ********** 'House of Snakes' for Sale dailymail - Even the man trying to sell this house admits it has a 'horrible' problem. But there are snake lovers in the world, so he remains hopeful. The agent trying to sell this five-bedroom house in Idaho has listed it for $66,000 less than its estimated market value - because it is infested with thousands of snakes. Last year its owners gave up and walked away, allowing the house to fall into foreclosure - deciding that was a better option than living with the serpents slithering around in the ceilings and walls. It was taken over by the lender, Chase Bank. Now Realty Quest associate broker Todd Davis is faced with the daunting task of trying to sell it. That task would be hard enough with the current market, but once the slithery occupants are factored in, you have to feel a pang of sympathy for the optimistic Mr Davis. Even his decision to slash the price from the estimated value of $175,000 to $109,000 may not be enough. 'I guess I need a snake lover,' he admits. 'Or someone with multiple mongooses.' The residents are believed to be common garter snakes, a type found throughout the United States. They are not poisonous and are harmless to humans. A pest inspector has estimated they are living in the house in their thousands. 'It's not a problem, it's an infestation,' Mr Davis bravely continues. 'It's been a horrible experience.' Even more horrible for those living there. Previous owners describe the terror of trying to sleep at night, never knowing when your bed could be invaded, in a YouTube video from as far back as 2006. And the most recent owners, Benjamin and Amber Sessions, reenacted the snake takeover on an Animal Planet television episode about infestations that aired earlier this month. The couple could not be reached for comment. Mr Davis said the Sessions segment and the YouTube video by other owners are the only first hand evidence he has of the reptiles in the now infamous 'Idaho snake house'. SLITHERY SELLING POINT: WHAT ARE GARTER SNAKES? Garter snakes, which can grow to be up to three feet in length, frequently take up residence in lawns and gardens and are prized by gardeners for feeding on pests like slugs. Garters have the widest range among snakes in North America, said Joe Collins, director of the Center for North American Herpetology in Lawrence, Kansas. They are not poisonous and pose no threat to people. But - in another wonderful selling point for the poor Mr Davis - they do smell. Garters leave pheromone trails that scent the way to a den. Once a whiff of the site has snaked through the garter community, snakes from outlying areas are likely to target the area. But he added he has no reason to disbelieve the accounts of hundreds of snakes sandwiched between the house and its exterior siding and piles of the reptiles in the crawlspace. 'I think the snakes got into a spot and decided to make it their home, now they've invited all their friends,' he said. Joe Collins, director of the Center for North American Herpetology in Lawrence, Kansas, said it is likely that the house was built on a snake den site. 'Snakes have a great deal of fidelity to the den site,' he said. 'They're born near there and the animals return each fall to den up and avoid the cold.' 'People always build first and never ask about an area and whether there is a snake den before they do,' said Mr Collins. 'Afterward, it's too late: the house is there, the snakes are there and people are there. It's a great set up for a wonderful time.' The snakes are not likely to relocate, voluntarily or otherwise. Even if the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, which oversees reptiles in the state, agreed to dislodge the garters, some snakes will remain and reproduce, restarting the cycle, Mr Collins said. Hence Mr Davis's search for snake-friendly buyers. Apparently he is not considering the more definitive solution offered by the blog Gawker: 'Burn the f****** house down'.     |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2011 11:31 AM PST  The Armenian people or Armenians are are an ethnic group native to the Caucasus and the Armenian Highland. Christianity began to spread in Armenia soon after Jesus's death. The following are a few legends...some where written in poem, many more were passed on by the storytellers:  In "Transcaucasia: Sketches of the Nations and Races Between the Black Sea and the Caspian," published in 1854, Baron von Hauxthausen recalls the tale told to him by his travel guide, Peter Neu, about a cruel Armenian vampire named "Dakhanavar" or "Dashanavar" that lived in the mountains who had a strange and unusual way of killing victims. "On our right rose the glaciers of Allagas and at two miles from Erivan commenced the mountains of Ultmish Altotem, stretching to a distance of forty or fifty versts. They are said to have 366 Valleys, respecting which Peter related the following Armenian legend," wrote Hauxthausen. "There once dwelt in a cavern in this country a vampire, called Dakhanavar, who could not endure anyone to penetrate into these mountains or count their valleys. Everyone who attempted this had in the night his blood sucked by the monster, from the soles of his feet, until he died. The vampire was however at last outwitted by two cunning fellows: they began to count the valleys and when night came on they lay down to sleep, taking care to place themselves with the feet of the one under the head of the other. In the night the monster came, felt as usual and found a head: then he felt at the other end, and found a head there also. "Well," he cried. "I have gone through the whole 366 Valleys of these mountains, and have sucked the blood of people without end, but never yet did I find any one with two heads and no feet!" SO saying, he ran away and was never more seen in that country; but ever after the people have known that the mountain has 366 Valleys." Unlike vampire tales from Eastern Europe and the Western world, there are not many documented sources of Dakhanavar whose name could stem from the Armenian word "dajan," meaning "cruel." Given that many popular vampires like Dracula and the like are ruthless creators who know how to lure their victims and don't easily give up, Mr. Dakhanavar is pretty, well, incompetent as vampires go. Still, Jonathan Maberry author of "Vampire Universe: The Dark World of Supernatural Beings That Haunt Us, Hunt Us and Hunger for Us" describes the superstitions still associated with the Armenian vampire of the mountains. "The Dakhanavar is ferociously territorial and will assault anyone who tries to make a map of its lands, or even count the hills and valleys in the region, correctly fearing that a thorough knowledge of the landscape would reveal all of its secret hiding places. Even today some travelers in Armenia, particularly those going into the region of Mount Ararat, generally take precautions against evil beings such as Dakhanvar. Often, they put small cloves of raw garlic in various pockets or mash it up and rub the paste on their shoes. At night, if camping out of doors, these travelers build a large fire and toss garlic bulbs into the flames. The combination of garlic aroma and a blazing fire will drive almost all of the world's many species of vampires away." - anyanmag.com Haig the Hero According to the traditional history of Armenia, Haig the Hero, father of the Armenian people, was the legendary patriarch of the Armenian nation, and the fourth lineage of Noah. Haig the Hero refused to accept the conditions set by Bel, the legendary tyrant of Asyria, that he (Haig) would enjoy every freedom and comfort if only he recognized the sovereignty of Bel. After the Tower of Babel was destroyed by God, Haig the Hero and his followers' freedom loving spirits faced Bel in battle, killed him, and secured unconditional freedom for himself and his followers. After the battle Haig migrated further to the north, where according to legend, he founded Hayastan. This legend, in its simplicity proves that the Armenian spirit does not tolerate slavery, but has a deep love for that heavenly blessing known as freedom. And it is because of this that the Armenians have lifted their national legendary Hero and their forefather up to the skies and named the constellation "Orion" after him—HAIG.  Ara the Handsome The legend of Ara the Handsome, son of Aram, was the seventh generation after Haig, and king of Armenia (more probably Urarta). Samiramis, who was the queen of Assyria, desired Ara the handsome. Because he was already married and did not want to betray his loyalty to his home and family, he refused to marry queen Samaramis. After Ara declined her advances she invaded the country and Ara was slain. Thus, Ara the Handsome, a legendary king of Armenia gave his life to save his honor in remaining loyal to his marriage vow. The legend of Ara the handsome (also called Ara the Beautiful) and Samiramis has been kept alive for some 3000 years. It is possible that such an event has really taken place Due to the story's transmittal by word of mouth for so many centuries it has taken its present legendary character symbolizing the loyalty of the Armenians toward their home and family. Armenians have truly remained loyal to their home and family not only in the distant past but also in modern times. During the massacres of 1895 and 1915 the Armenian men and women proved their loyalty towards their home and family with a spirit as heroic, as beautiful, and moving as that of Ara the Beautiful. Thousands of Armenian women threw themselves into rivers or the inferno of blazing houses, so they may not suffer the lust of the Turk or live in his Harem. The story of Lucretia who committed suicide after she was violated by Tarquinus Sextus, was acted out thousands of times by Armenian women who became the modern Lucretia symbolizing chastity and loyalty to married life, truly believing that these virtues were the foundation of home and nation. Had these two legends not existed they would have been created sooner or later by the Armenian people who have been endowed with the love of freedom and home throughout their history. - "Atlas of Historical Armenia"- by H. K. Babessian NOTE: Two very good links for a deeper look into Armenian history - The Primary History of Armenia and The Beginnings of Armenia...Lon Click for video 1 Click for video 2 ----------  MOUNT ARARAT and NOAH'S ARK Nicholas II and the expedition to Mount Ararat Conspiracy theorists believe that Nicholas II of Russia sent an expedition party to Mount Ararat in 1917 to investigate reported remains of Noah's Ark. The Russian Imperial Air Force is reputed to have sent up to 150 men up the mountain to examine an 'anomaly' after 'a Russian pilot flying over the area reported a dark structure about the size of a battleship with a rounded-over top'. The odds are stacked against this particular tale, as Nicholas abdicated during the February Revolution of 1917, meaning it is unlikely that the expedition was ever sent. Some investigators have claimed that the expedition actually set off in 1916 and that after finding the 'ark' a number of photographs were taken. Unfortunately, in true conspiracy-theorist style, the photographs mysteriously disappeared after Leon Trotsky discovered their existence. Subsequent expeditions have been unable to find the colossal structure. Professors Mud & Stoneass In an unfortunate case of failing to check the date, a number of papers picked up on the Kölnische Illustrierte Zeitung April 1 story on Noah's Ark. A number of pictures accompanied the 1933 article, showing a huge boat resting on a mountainside, which were duly reprinted across the globe with translations of the article. On April 8 1933 the Cologne-based paper admitted its tomfoolery, but even though the tale was unquestionably false, that didn't stop an intrepid group of Ark-hunters in 1972 basing their search for the lost vessel on the original article. Fernand Navarra When French explorer Fernand Navarra announced that he had found a five-foot section of the Ark on the slopes of Mount Arat, people were, it seems, justifiably sceptical of his claims. The Forestry Institute of Research and Experiments of the Ministry of Agriculture in Spain dated the wood at 5,000 years old, seemingly vindicating Navarra's claims. However, it was later discovered that the samples are actually only between 725 and 535 years old and that Navarra had in fact simply bought the wood from a nearby village. George Jammal George Jammal claimed in 1993 that he had found a section of 'sacred wood from the Ark' in a CBS documentary. The expedition, according to Jammal, was long, arduous and even claimed the life of his friend Vladimir. In fact, the entire story was a deliberate hoax designed to fool the media, at the centre of which was a lump of timber that had actually been lifted from Californian train tracks. NOTE: The ethnic cleansing of Armenians during the final years of the Ottoman Empire is widely considered a genocide, an estimated 1.5 million victims, with one wave of persecution in the years 1894 to 1896 culminating in the events of the Armenian Genocide in 1915 and 1916. With World War I in progress, the Turks accused the (Christian) Armenians as liable to ally with Imperial Russia, and used it as a pretext to deal with the entire Armenian population as an enemy within their empire. As a result of the Armenian Genocide, a large number of survivors fled to many countries throughout the world.
