"This DVD may present a more skeptical view of Noah's Ark, but it still creates a fantasy world of possibility where mystery is more important than fact and satellite imagery only shows what we think might exist. People love mystery and hope is always present. I think this DVD is actually more interesting from that perspective and there are some ideas for how a worldwide flood could have occurred. Fossils are shown and if you enjoy reading biblical accounts, a story is played out to give you a sense of how long it would have actually taken to build such a large vessel. Tests are employed to see if such a vessel would sink under extreme conditions and the problems of how the animals could have been cared for is also addressed. Many different people, from archeologists to those who claim first-hand knowledge and sightings are interviewed. This is a good introduction to the mystery of the Ark if you are fascinated by this topic.

Noahs Ark -A Classic True Life Adventure Story.

"A much better documentary than the "Bible Sceptics" would ever admit to.
The story of the search for Noahs Ark is well researched and presented."

""The Incredible Discovery of Noah's Ark" was first shown on CBS in 1992. I was able to record it off the air then, but am glad it finally became available on DVD. While I have seen the same film with other narrarators, this one with Darren McGavin I like the best. While he was an accomplished actor, he really does seem to genuinely enjoy hosting this documentary.
The book by the same title is also very informative, and I would encourage those who like this DVD presentation to read the book as well. There are aspects of the book that are even better than the movie, but I wouldn't want to have one without the other."
Very well documented and entertaining. Don't trust the nays

"Forget about all the hoax talk. Follow up on their "Jammal" hoax and you'll quickly find a lot about nothing. In any case, that guy's testimony is not even in this version of the program, the producers obviously figuring out that it would not be wise to include his false account. I'm not entirely convinced his account even exists. I'm quickly learning there is a significant effort to taint the evidence out there concerning Noah's Ark. And there's plenty of people ready to spout their uninformed viewpoint to try and destroy the credibility of programs like this. For all the controversy, definetely see the movie for yourself and you'll see it's pretty provocative, even for a low budget, after-school kind of movie. My mind is made up and I'm not vested in the religious implications. The different eye witness accounts from varied nationalities around the world coupled with photography and historian accounts leaves little doubt about the Ark's existence high up that mountain but just enough doubt to still allow you to exercise the power of your faith."
The Genesis Flood

"I had first seen this documentary on TV and had recorded it onto VHS tape. The old VHS recording really didn't do it justice so I decided to order this DVD. The section on the ark, which is the major part of the documentary is interesting but not the main reason I bought the DVD
The part that was most fascinating to me was a shorter section on the mechanics of the flood itself. It makes a point of bringing out the very important significance of the waters below, but makes no mention of the waters above; which in my mind is equally important.
A book, now out of print but available at some used book sites, details the significance of "The Waters Above". This book, by Joseph C. Dillow details more of the mechanics involved in the flood. It also includes detailed information about the Beresovka mammoth; a replica of this mammoth was shown in a scene from the movie "The Day After Tomorrow". The remarkable thing about this mammoth was the very repid rate of freezing, and the fact that once frozen it never again thawed thereby preserving intact the contents of the mammoth's stomach in an essentially undigested state. This baby mammoth was discovered in the frozen tundra in Siberia.
This point is also brought out in the scene from the movie where the crewman in the downed helicopter freezes in place as he tries to exit the helicopter. The contents of the mammoth's stomach included flowers and ferns which indicated a tropical climate in Siberia at the time the mammoth was frozen. It is also interesting to note the the skin of the mammoth did not have the insulating fat layer found in actic animals but was in fact the skin of a tropical animal.
If you have an interest in the Biblical account of creation and the antediluvian world, this DVD provides a point of initial entry into a fascinating filed of study. If you would like to continue your inquiry I can recommed a book called "The Genesis Flood" by John Whitcomb and Henry Morris. This book and several others are available on Amazon.com. [...]"
