Na początku czerwca odbyły się w Armenii wybory, które wygrał rządzący od 2018 roku premier Nikol Paszynian. Jak to możliwe, że polityk, który przegrał dwie wojny i oddał Azerbejdżanowi Górski Karabach wygrywa już trzeci raz z rzędu wybory? Czy poprowadzi Armenię ku Europie, a może w wręcz przeciwnym kierunku? O jednym z najciekawszych zakątków rubieży Europy rozmawiam z reporterką Stasią Budzisz. ⭕️ ZOSTAŃ NASZYM PATRONEM: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://patronite.pl/dobrapodroz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭕️ LUB POSTAW KAWUSIĘ:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buycoffee.to/dobrapodroz ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⭕️ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   / dobrapodroz  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠zapraszam na naszą stronę, www.dobrapodroz.pl, media społecznościowe https://www.facebook.com/tudobrapodroz i https://www.instagram.com/dobra_podroz/

PATREONBefore the Bible, before Genesis, before any written scripture as we know it — there was the flood. Eric, Sean, and Jorge dive into one of the oldest, most widespread, and most hotly debated stories in human history: Noah's Ark.Did a catastrophic flood actually destroy an ancient civilization? The evidence is hard to ignore. 217 distinct cultures across six continents — from the ancient Sumerians to the Aztecs to Aboriginal Australians — all independently carry a version of the same story: a great flood, a righteous man, a massive boat, and a world reborn. That's not a coincidence. That's a memory.In Part 1, the guys trace the flood narrative from its oldest known origins in ancient Mesopotamia — including the Sumerian tale of Ziusudra, the Akkadian story of Atrahasis, and the Epic of Gilgamesh — and show how these accounts predate the Biblical story of Noah by centuries, sharing nearly identical details beat for beat. They break down the Genesis account in full: the dimensions of the ark (spoiler: it's the size of a football field and a half), the 150 days on water, the raven, the dove, and the olive branch. They also dig into what the Bible actually says about where the ark landed — and why "the Mountains of Ararat" is far more complicated than you've been told.Then they get into the physical search: a French explorer who pulled hand-worked wood from a glacier 13,000 feet up a Turkish mountain, an Apollo 15 astronaut who said finding Noah's Ark was harder than walking on the moon, and the boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey that researchers are actively scanning with ground-penetrating radar right now.Did a regional catastrophe get retold across thousands of years and hundreds of cultures into the story of one man and one boat? Or is there something more to it? Part 2 drops next week.Follow us on Patreon at patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast for bonus content and to join the Discord.

Louise Glück (1943-2023) este una dintre cele mai importante voci ale poeziei actuale. Așa că este un eveniment editorial apariția în limba română a integralei sale poetice. Intitulat simplu, „Poeme. 1962-2020”, masivul volum de 1.000 de pagini al poetei americane a fost tradus de Anastasia Gavrilovici și Bogdan-Alexandru Stănescu și a apărut la Anansi, imprintul Editurii TREI. Louise Glück a primit mai multe premii prestigioase de-a lungul timpului, între care Premiul Nobel pentru Literatură, în 2020. Comentatorii poeziei sale au remarcat precizia și simplitatea formulărilor, controlul tehnic, narativitatea din poeme, referințele la mitologie, la universul biblic și la natură. Louise Glück scrie despre teme mari - pierderea, suferința, moartea, dragostea, familia - pe care le abordează într-o manieră originală și memorabilă. Am vorbit cu traducătoarea Anastasia Gavrilovici despre universul poetic al lui Louise Glück, despre ce o face unică și importantă pentru poezia contemporană.La ce ar trebui să fie atent un cititor care o citește pentru prima oară pe Louise Glück, care sînt trăsăturile poeziei sale?Anastasia Gavrilovici: „Cred că unui cititor care n-a mai luat contact cu poezia lui Louise Glück pînă acum, cel mai mult i-ar plăcea volumele sale mai recente, cele două pe care le-a tradus Bogdan-Alexandru Stănescu («Noapte credincioasă și virtuoasă» și «Rețete de iarnă din colectiv») și apoi, mergînd spre trecut, «Viața la sat», «Ararat», «Meadowlands». Pentru că astea sînt volumele ei mai narative, în care împrumută mituri, figuri din mitologie sau anumite alte voci, ca în «Irisul sălbatic», unde împrumută vocea grădinarului, a lui Dumnezeu și a plantelor, pentru a vorbi despre fragilitatea vieții, despre toate lucrurile care ne apasă și tot ce ține de viața umană și de harta noastră emoțională. Ce mi se pare absolut uimitor la Louise Glück  e că reușește să vorbească despre traumă, despre divorț, despre anorexia din adolescență fără să apară într-o ipostază de victimă. Tocmai pentru că vine cu aceste voci pe care le recuperează din mitologie, arătînd în felul ăsta că ceea ce trăim noi, oamenii, nu este specific acestui moment, ci face parte din istoria noastră, ca umanitate și ca societate, și că nu sîntem singuri în asta și în permanență putem renaște. Miza ei poetică este să nu facă pe victima, ci să aibă discursul supraviețuitorului care contemplă ruinele și încearcă să scoată la iveală din ele frumusețea vieții.”Sînt în poezia lui Louise Glück teme mari: pierderea, suferința, moartea, dragostea, familia. Teme despre care s-a tot scris. Dar care e amprenta ei pe aceste teme universale?Anastasia Gavrilovici: „Mi se pare că forța ei stă în aparenta detașare. Pentru că ea scrie o poezie în care găsești multă sensibilitate, dar faptul că împrumută alte voci, alte perspective și are acest joc permanent cu alte ipostaze, faptul că nu se pune pe ea în centru, deși vorbește despre lucruri care coincid cu biografia ei sau se regăsesc în biografia ei, asta o face să fie atît de originală și singulară în peisajul poeziei contemporane. Reușește să geometrizeze toate suferințele astea, toate marile teme, survolînd ca o pasăre uriașă deasupra lor. Niciodată nu simți că se lamentează, niciodată nu simți că e o poveste individuală, ci mai degrabă simți că e o poveste colectivă, e povestea umanității spusă atît de bine de cineva care poate să aibă și o perspectivă panoramică, dar și să se ducă la firul ierbii și să documenteze viața sau suferința oricărei ființe mici și aparent insignifiante. Mi se pare că e un fel de demiurg peste toate lucrurile. Iar faptul că a făcut foarte multă terapie și psihanaliză i-a influențat și scrisul, inevitabil, a învățat-o cum să se raporteze la experiențele traumatice, cum să le disece astfel încît să înțeleagă că ele au un rol formator, că sînt parte din devenirea ei, din evoluția ei. Și de-aici mi se pare că vine lumina care-i traversează poezia. Transpare un fel de încredere că există lucruri mai presus de traumele noastre, că există lucruri spirituale care transcend ființa și asupra cărora se orientează poezia ei.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta întreaga discuție!O emisiune de Adela GreceanuUn produs Radio România Cultural

 Czy historia Armenii naprawdę zaczyna się od potopu? Według Krzysztofa Jabłonki właśnie góra Ararat miała stać się symbolem nowego początku świata. Historyk przypomniał też niezwykłe dzieje Urartu i najstarszych Ormian. 

April 24, 2026 - Equipped 2026 - Day 2 - 11:00 AM Session   In this sermon-style episode, guest speaker Bill preaches to a local congregation (with thanks to hosts Neil, Hiram, and the elders) from Genesis chapters 6–9. Centered on the theme "Sin, Grace, and Covenant," the message examines the corruption of the antediluvian world, God's grief over human wickedness, and the single line of faithful survival through Noah and his family. Bill surveys competing interpretations of key phrases (the "sons of God," the Nephilim, and lines of Seth and Cain), explains the significance of Noah's righteousness — "Noah walked with God" — and highlights the genealogical continuity from Adam through Noah to Abram and ultimately to Christ. He argues for a plain-historical reading of Genesis 1–11 and stresses how those chapters set the stage for the rest of Scripture, including Genesis 12 and the promise to Abraham. The episode carefully unpacks the flood narrative itself: God's warning (the 120-year period), the ark's construction and the distinction between clean and unclean animals, the deluge's mechanics ("fountains of the great deep" and the "windows of heaven"), the timeline (40 days of rain, 150 days of prevailing waters), and the ark's resting on Ararat. Bill defends the global scope of the flood and draws attention to textual details often glossed over in children's retellings. Attention is given to covenant and worship after the flood: Noah's altar, God's promise never to destroy the earth again by water, the rainbow as the covenant sign, and how the Noahic covenant is universal and unconditional. The sermon links the flood typologically to New Testament themes — especially 1 Peter 3's comparison of salvation through the ark with salvation through baptism and Christ's resurrection — and cites Old and New Testament passages (Psalm, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Matthew, 2 Peter) to show the flood's theological importance. Finally, Bill offers pastoral application: the possibility and duty of faithful living in an ungodly age, the seriousness of divine judgment balanced by the height of God's grace, and the enduring trustworthiness of God's promises. Listeners should expect exegetical detail, theological reflection on history and covenant, and clear invitations to consider how Noah's faithfulness points forward to Christ and to our own call to walk with God.   Duration 39:19

Join us as Eric Hovind sits down with Nick Liguori to explore Echoes of Ararat and the powerful global memory of the Flood. Across continents and cultures, hundreds of ancient traditions tell a strikingly similar story. A great vessel. A warning. A chosen few. Animals preserved. A global catastrophe. A mountain landing. Birds sent out. A new beginning marked by sacrifice. These aren't random details. They are consistent threads woven through history, pointing back to the same event. We'll examine these accounts from regions across East Asia and the Pacific and ask the deeper question. Why do so many independent cultures preserve the same core memory? Are these just myths, or echoes of real history passed down from the survivors?   Watch this Podcast on Video at: https://creationtoday.org/on-demand-classes/legends-of-the-great-flood-east-asia-the-pacific-creation-today-show-476/  Join Eric LIVE each Wednesday at 12 Noon CT for conversations with Experts.

Send a textA barren mountain, soaked earth, and a small family stepping into a silent world—Noah's first move isn't survival strategy but worship. We open Genesis 8:20 and trace how an altar on Ararat reframes gratitude, cost, and the shape of true devotion in a new beginning. When Noah offers from every clean animal and bird, he isn't burning excess. He's giving up what would feed, clothe, and seed the future. That one-seventh offering cuts into comfort and reveals a heart that trusts God more than margins. From there, we follow the Bible's clear thread: sin brings death, forgiveness requires blood, and cheap worship is no worship at all.We then bridge the flood to our lives. Rescue is more than survival; it's transformation. We remember what it means to be pulled from the mire, washed clean, and given a new name through Jesus Christ. As we unpack the meaning of propitiation—how the cross satisfies both God's righteousness and justice—we see Noah's altar as a signpost pointing to the final sacrifice. The question turns personal: if we are bought with a price and temples of the Holy Spirit, what does our gratitude actually cost? Time, habits, money, reputation—worship touches all of it.Along the way, we revisit why Cain's offering failed and Abel's was accepted, why blood atonement is central, and how a life of thanksgiving looks when it moves beyond words to embodied trust. The aim isn't guilt, but clarity and courage: devotion that smells like Noah's smoke and shines with Christ's love. Listen, reflect, and decide what you will place on the altar today.

Let us start in Scotland, off the rugged north-east coast, where something has gone quietly wrong. Ocean Winds and Ignitis built Moray West, an eight hundred and eighty-two megawatt offshore wind farm — one of the largest in Scotland. But one of its two offshore substations has been offline since November. Half the farm’s capacity … gone dark. And there is more. The project missed a contractual milestone last September under an off-take agreement. That triggered an event of default under its project lending agreements. The lenders and the sponsors have agreed to a short-term waiver. Discussions are described as constructive. Commercial operations, originally expected last year, are now targeted for sometime in 2026. Eight hundred and eighty-two megawatts … waiting. Now, let us travel south to Italy. GE Vernova has won a contract to supply seventeen onshore turbines to IVPC Group’s Fortore wind farm in the Benevento region of southern Italy. The project tops one hundred megawatts. Turbine deliveries begin in twenty twenty-seven. GE Vernova is also investing thirty million dollars to expand its Sesto San Giovanni plant outside Milan. That investment boosts production of transformer bushings, the insulating components that keep high-voltage equipment running. About fifty new jobs are coming to that facility. And GE Vernova’s two-piece blade design for its six-point-one megawatt turbines is already drawing attention as developers scramble to crack Italy’s notoriously complex logistics and permitting hurdles. Italy is a market in motion. Now, to the other side of the world. Iberdrola has completed the acquisition of the Ararat wind farm in Victoria, Australia. Two hundred and forty-two megawatts. Operational since twenty seventeen. This is Iberdrola’s sixth transaction of twenty twenty-six alone, and it marks the Spanish giant’s first owned generation asset in Victoria, Australia’s second most populous state. Iberdrola now operates in five Australian states with more than twenty-five hundred megawatts of installed capacity. Victoria has set a target of ninety-five percent renewable energy by twenty thirty-five. Iberdrola intends to help get it there. And finally, from Chennai, India, comes a story about getting ready for what is coming. Flender India has just inaugurated its largest and most advanced gearbox test rig for wind turbines at its Walajabad facility near Chennai. The project began in January of twenty twenty-five at Flender’s Voerde site in Germany. From start to finish, thirteen months. Final assembly, three months. This is a collaboration between Flender’s operations in Germany, China, and India. CEO Andreas Evertz called it a testament to their global commitment to driving renewable energy solutions worldwide. India’s wind market is growing fast, and Flender is making sure it can test every gearbox that growth demands. So, let us step back and look at the picture. A Scottish offshore wind farm sits half-dark while its owners negotiate with lenders. GE Vernova plants its flag in southern Italy and invests thirty million dollars in an Italian factory. Iberdrola expands to a sixth Australian transaction in a single year. And Flender India builds the biggest gearbox test rig on the subcontinent. And that is the state of the wind industry for the ninth of March, twenty twenty-six. Join us for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast tomorrow

Podcast Description: God Is in the Details — A Message from Pastor SimoneIn this powerful message, Pastor Simone walks through the story of Noah to reveal a truth we often overlook: God is in the details. From the precise instructions for building the ark in Genesis 6 to the moment the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat, every step shows a God who is both intentional and trustworthy.Noah obeyed God completely, but he was never in control of the outcome. He could build the ark, gather the animals, and enter when God said so, but he could not control the rain, the rising waters, or how long the storm would last. This message explores the tension between obedience and control, reminding us that faith often means surrendering what we cannot manage.You'll also hear the profound moment when God shut the door of the ark, a reminder that sometimes God closes what we cannot, and that His protection is part of His promise.Pastor Simone then dives into one of the hardest spiritual seasons: the waiting after the storm. While the rain lasted 40 days, the ark floated for 150. Sometimes the real challenge isn't the crisis, it's trusting God in the quiet, uncertain stretch that follows.Finally, this message ends with a powerful truth: God already chose the mountain. Before the first drop of rain fell, the place where Noah would land had already been determined.If you're in a season where life feels uncertain, where you're obeying God but still floating in the unknown, this message will remind you that God doesn't just design the ark, He determines the resting place.Trust Him with what was never meant to be controlled, only surrendered.

From the animals that are not clean, take two, a male and his female. 3 Also from the ⎣clean⎦ birds of the sky take seven and seven, male and female, ⎣and of all the unclean birds, one pair, a male and a female⎦ [2] to keep their offspring alive on the face of the whole earth. 4 In seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will wipe off the face of the earth.” 5 Noah did everything that the Lord commanded him. The Flood 6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood [3] came, and water covered the earth. 7 Noah went into the ark with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood. 8 Clean animals, animals that are not clean, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground 9 went into the ark with Noah two by two (male and female), just as God had commanded Noah. 10 After seven days, the waters of the flood came on the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that very day, all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates [4] of the sky were opened. 12 The rain came down on the earth for forty days and forty nights. 13 On that same day Noah, Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons along with them entered the ark. 14 They went in with every animal according to its kind, all the livestock according to their kinds, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to its kind, and everything that flies according to its kind, flying birds of every sort. 15 Pairs of all the animals [5] that have the breath of life in them went to Noah in the ark. 16 A male and female of each animal that breathes went in, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut Noah in. 17 The flood kept coming on the earth for forty days. The waters became deeper and lifted up the ark until it floated high above the earth. 18 The water kept increasing and overwhelmed the earth, and the ark was carried along on the surface of the water. 19 The water overwhelmed the earth. All the high mountains that were under the entire sky were covered. 20 The waters rose more than twenty feet above the mountains and covered them. 21 All living creatures [6] that moved on the earth perished, including birds, livestock, wild animals, every creeping thing that crawls on the earth, and all mankind. 22 Everything that breathed the breath of life through its nostrils, that is, everything that was on the dry land, died. 23 Every living thing that was on the face of the earth was wiped out, including mankind, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They all were wiped off the earth. Only Noah was left, as well as those who were with him in the ark. 24 The waters overwhelmed the earth for one hundred fifty days. Genesis 8 1 God remembered Noah, as well as all the animals and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. So God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. 2 The fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were also closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained. 3 The waters kept receding from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had decreased. 4 In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. 5 The waters receded continuously until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible. 6 Then at the end of forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark. 7 He sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth. 8 Then he sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground, 9 but the dove found no place to rest its foot, and it returned to him in the ark, because there was water on the surface of the whole earth. Noah reached out his hand, took the dove, and brought it back to him in the ark. 10 He waited another seven days. Then he sent the dove out of the ark again. 11 The dove came back to him at evening, and there in its mouth was an olive leaf it had just plucked. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth. 12 He waited another seven days and sent the dove out again. This time it did not return to him anymore. 13 And so in the six hundred first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked out. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. 15 God spoke to Noah. He said, 16 “Go out of the ark—you, your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing of every sort that is with you, all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may swarm over the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” 18 Noah went out with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives along with him. 19 Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever swarms on the earth went out of the ship, species by species. [7] Footnotes Genesis 7:2 Literally by sevens. There is a difference of opinion whether seven pairs of each clean animal were to be taken onboard or seven of each clean animal: three pairs and one extra for sacrifice. Genesis 7:3 The words in the half-brackets are not present in the Hebrew text but are in the Greek Old Testament. It seems the Hebrew copyist's eye might have jumped from the occurrence of female before the first half-bracket to the occurrence of female before the second half-bracket. The loss of this phrase would lead to the removal of the word clean near the beginning of the verse. Genesis 7:6 Or deluge Genesis 7:11 Or windows Genesis 7:15 Literally all flesh Genesis 7:21 Literally all flesh Genesis 8:19 Literally by their families. Species here is not a narrow technical term as it is in present-day science. #top .hr.hr-invisible.av-aocsdx-89cb4ca21532423cf697fc393b6fcee0{ height:10px; } The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage Version®, EHV®, © 2019 Wartburg Project, Inc.

¿Descansan los restos del Arca de Noé en el Monte Ararat? Exploramos el relato bíblico del Arca de Noé, su significado simbólico y las razones por las que el Ararat, una montaña imponente y envuelta en pugnas y guerras de territorios, se convirtió en el epicentro de búsquedas, expediciones y teorías que van desde lo académico hasta lo conspiranoico. Testimonios históricos, imágenes satelitales, supuestos hallazgos… ¿Qué hay de verdad y qué de mito?

This week, we have 2 lectures to keep pace for those following the Come Follow Me program. Text: Genesis 6-11; Moses 8 Supplemental Text: The First 2,000 Years chapters 20-22 BYU Lecture 7: The Great Universal Flood Due to the wickedness of the people, similar to the wickedness of today, God cleanses the Human race by using a universal Flood. Noah obeys the Lord and builds an enormous ark, but only he, his wife, and 3 of his sons along with their wives survive. Has the ark been discovered on Mt. Ararat? Discussion of the need for a righteous government to govern a righteous people. There is a great need to conserve the Constitution. A good student will solve problems by using Constitutional principles. He must study in fairness all sides of important issues and make intelligent decisions that build a righteous people.   The Law of Consecration must be restored among a righteous people but only under the direction of the priesthood. God's work will prevail. BYU Lecture 8: Mankind Expands Across the Land After the Flood. After the flood and the ark settles, the family of Noah enters the new world. As they descend from the mount, the families of Japheth, Shem and Ham go their separate ways and begin again to populate the earth. Different races across the world can be traced to the three sons of Noah; Slavic and Orientals traced to Japheth, Arabic, Jewish and Caucasian traced to Shem, and Blacks traced to Ham. Egypt means “black” and it's evident from the mummy discoveries that Egypt had many different dynasties from both Ham and Shem. This concludes the First 2,000 Years and the supplemental text now begins in The Third Thousand Years.  

El último peldaño (16/01/2026) ERICH VON DÄNIKEN: EL TESTIGO DE LOS DIOSES En este programa recordamos a alguien cuya obra marcó a mas de una generación de buscadores de misterios Erich von Däniken, que falleció el pasado 10 de enero. Desde que en 1968 nos hizo recordar el futuro, se dedicó a traspasar los límites de la historia y a escuchar, en los ecos del pasado, la posibilidad de un origen estelar. Para ello escucharemos su voz gracia a la entrevista que le hicimos en 2013, en la que nos ofreció enfoques de su obra y su pensamiento alejados del estereotipo medios nos ofrecen. Con nuestros colaboradores Francisco Barrera, Presidente de la SIB Betegeuse y Cristian Puig, investigador y escritor analizaremos las palabras que el propio Däniken nos dejó en el programa y daremos un repaso a su obra y proyección. LEYENDAS Y RELIQUIAS SAGRADAS DE ARMENIA Y EL CAUCASO Los peldaños de nuestra escalera nos llevan hoy a un viaje a las leyendas y reliquias más profundas de Armenia y el Cáucaso. Descubriremos los enigmáticos “jachkar”, las misteriosas piedras Dragón que guardan la memoria de un mundo antiguo. Revivimos la leyenda de Momik, maestro de piedra y espíritu creador. Ascenderemos simbólicamente al monte Ararat y seguimos la huella de San Gregorio el Iluminador. Exploramos el Vaticano Armenio donde historia y mito se entrelazan. Conectamos con enigmas como la “Túnica sagrada” o “La lanza de Longinos”.

Send us a textA single verse in Genesis launches a century-spanning adventure: did Noah's Ark truly rest on the mountains of Ararat, and can it be found today? We trace the trail from ancient testimony to modern expeditions, weighing bold claims, failed climbs, and famous controversies along the way. From Josephus and Chrysostom to Frederick Parrot, James Bryce, and astronaut James Irwin, the mountain draws explorers with the promise of proof and the hope of closure. The Russian aviator tale unravels under scrutiny, and the Durupinar “boat” shape bends back to geology, reminding us how easily longing can outrun evidence.As we sort through competing locations, shifting timelines, and personal testimonies—Georgie Hagopian's cliffside Ark, Ed Davis's wartime sighting—we step back to ask the deeper question: what do we really want to find? The Torah moves past the Ark without assigning it ongoing sacred power, and that narrative choice matters. Isaiah's call to seek the Lord, not relics, reframes the search. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus presses the point: those who ignore Moses and the prophets won't be convinced by spectacle. If the Resurrection does not soften a heart, no weathered beam will.We don't dismiss history, science, or the thrill of discovery. We honor them, and then place them in their right order. Faith stands on the living Word, not the hope of a perfect artifact; transformation comes through the gospel preached in the power of the Spirit. That's the pivot of our conversation: from icy slopes and debated photos to the clear call to seek, trust, and speak. If you're stirred by the mystery of Ararat, lean into the greater wonder—grace that changes lives.

When God remembered Noah, it was more than a mental recollection that Noah was there. God's remembrance of Noah lead to His action of sending a wind to begin to dry the waters of the flood from off the earth. As the waters subsided and the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat, Noah used birds to discern what land was habitable. When the dove did not return after the second time, Noah uncovered the ark and saw dry ground. At God's command, Noah and all that were with him left the ark, entering forth into the LORD's renewed creation.  Rev.

Génesis 1:20“Dijo Dios: ‘Produzcan las aguas seres vivientes, y aves que vuelen sobre la tierra, en el firmamento de los cielos'”.Hoy, los colibríes se encuentran sólo en Norteamérica, Centroamérica y Suramérica. Por supuesto, ya que el Arca de Noé descendió en las montañas de Ararat, tuvieron que cruzar Europa y el Atlántico para llegar allí. Sin embargo, hasta ahora, no había evidencia de esta migración.Los científicos hoy en día han descubierto dos fósiles de colibríes en un hoyo de arcilla en el sur-occidente de Alemania. Estos diminutos fósiles son admirables en muchas maneras. Hasta el presente, los evolucionistas han afirmaron que los fósiles más antiguos de colibríes tienen un millón de años. Hoy se dice que estos nuevos fósiles son de 30 a 34 millones. Aunque nosotros no estamos de acuerdo con el fechaje evolucionista, esperaríamos que los fósiles de los colibríes en Europa o Asia precedan a aquellos del nuevo mundo. Aún algo más interesante es que los fósiles sugieren que estas aves más antiguas son colibríes totalmente funcionales. Los huesos de sus alas son como aquellos de los colibríes actuales, que sugieren que también podían oscilar y volar hacia atrás igual que los colibríes que conocemos hoy. Sus picos eran el doble del tamaño que sus cráneos, lo que sugiere que tomaban néctar igual que los colibríes actuales. En otras palabras, no hay señal de ningún desarrollo evolucionista, otro detalle que esperaríamos.Aunque la evidencia para la historia de los colibríes es lo que esperábamos, no necesitamos evidencia científica para apoyar esta verdad bíblica. Tenemos la Palabra de Dios al respecto.Oración: Te agradezco, Señor, por la belleza de Tu creación, que permanece hermosa, a pesar de nuestro pecado. Amén.Ref: Science News, S.

Dr. Lane Tipton speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Tipton presents Jesus Christ as the "mountain ascending mediator" and the promised seed of the woman from Genesis 3:15. Dr. Tipton argues that God's plan for redemption is framed by the concept of a holy mountain dwelling, beginning with heaven itself and its earthly counterpart, the Garden of Eden. After Adam's fall and subsequent exile from the holy mountain, God announced the first promise of the gospel—that the seed of the woman would crush the serpent's head. This salvific ascent was foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament on key mountains (Ararat, Sinai, Moriah, and Zion), all pointing to the final ascent of Christ. Through his sacrifice, Christ successfully ascended to the heavenly mountain, providing covering for sin, overcoming the devil, and bringing his people to see God in perfected worship and everlasting beatitude.

The source is an excerpt from a sermon that provides an in-depth analysis of Genesis Chapter 8, focusing on the conclusion of Noah's flood narrative. The preacher breaks down the text into themes such as the flood as "devastating decreation," God's subsequent "work in recreation," and the resting of the ark on Mount Ararat. A significant portion of the sermon is dedicated to discussing the historical nature of the Genesis account and reviewing historical claims and evidence, including a detailed account of a Russian Imperial Force pilot's alleged sighting of the ark in 1916. Finally, the sermon concludes with the "new promise" God makes to Noah—never again to curse the ground by a flood—and challenges the congregation to respond with a "sacrifice of praise" out of gratitude.Support the showThanks for listening!

We're back for our third episode with Nick Liguori on his powerful book series, Echoes of Ararat! Secular scholars attempt to refute Flood traditions from around the world as evidence for the book of Genesis by saying these traditions were inspired by Missionary influence. But does this supposed criticism actually stand up to scrutiny? Does the evidence, instead, point to these traditions being authentic histories to the cultures they come from, thereby showing mankind had a shared past as described in the Bible?         Link to Purchase Echoes of Ararat (Vol.1): https://www.masterbooks.com/echoes-of-ararat?srsltid=AfmBOoqrSQC-50M2Y1uatdX5YGTi6VR_dTiwRpTz2M1SuLMljg7GsNT         ➡️ HELP US FUND THE NEXT FILM!

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 161 - Atom Egoyan - Director In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with director Atom Egoyan (SEVEN VEILS, THE SWEET HEREAFTER, EXOTICA) in an extended conversation. Atom was born in Cairo and raised in Canada, and his young love for theatre grew to encompass filmmaking after a hard rejection in college. Throughout our winding conversation, we discuss the creation of many of his films, and Atom asks us a few questions too! Atom's films vary in their visual styles, and he frequently collaborates with cinematographer Paul Sarossy (Season 1, Episode 111), and he reveals how they first met and how they like to work together. Atom also shares why he restructured THE SWEET HEREAFTER in post, and we discuss the power of withholding information from the audience. We also learn why Atom chose to avoid a conventional historical drama when constructing ARARAT, a film about the Armenian Genocide, and we reflect on cinema's ability to communicate the horrors of history. - Recommended Viewing: ARARAT, THE SWEET HEREAFTER - This episode is sponsored by Aputure & Sandstorm

Welcome back to Spill Your Guts! I'm your host, Kevin Lane. We took some time over the summer to recalibrate and get ahead of creating a hell of a lineup for all our listeners. We've been doing Spill Your Guts for over 80 episodes now, and I can safely say that this is going to be some of our best. We are also doing a literary series with the biggest authors in horror fiction. It's a very exciting time for horror readers, as there are so many brilliant and diverse authors out there, creating stories that are reshaping the genre and what we've come to expect.This episode features one such author. Christopher Golden is a New York Times bestselling author and Bram Stoker Award winner, and he's become a household name in horror fiction with masterfully written novels such as "Snowblind", "Ararat", "Road of Bones", "All Hallows", and "The Nightbirds", to name a few.His work moves like a runaway train of terror and atmosphere that has caused me to read most of them in one sitting. There are few authors working that can compete with Christopher in creating the pace and atmosphere that he does. We also discuss his new anthology book, which he co-edited with Brian Keene, based in the world of Stephen King's iconic "The Stand", of which King himself gave the book his blessing. It's a must-have book for King fans, and really anyone who loves horror. It features stories from a long list of the greatest writers working in the genre today. The book is called "The End of the World as we know it", and is available now. So let's explore the worlds of frosty ghosts, spectral savage wolves, the true darkness of Halloween, and the scariest witches I have ever encountered in the history of horror.

This week we talk about the PKK, Turkey, and the DEM Party.We also discuss terrorism, discrimination, and stateless nations.Recommended Book: A Century of Tomorrows by Glenn AdamsonTranscriptKurdistan is a cultural region, not a country, but part of multiple countries, in the Middle East, spanning roughly the southeastern portion of Turkey, northern Iraq, the northwestern portion of Iran, and northern Syrian. Some definitions also include part of the Southern Caucasus mountains, which contains chunks of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.So this is a sprawling region that straddles multiple nations, and it's defined by the presence of the Kurdish people, the Kurds, who live all over the world, but whose culture is concentrated in this area, where it originally developed, and where, over the generations, there have periodically been very short-lived Kurdish nations of various shapes, sizes, and compositions.The original dynasties from which the Kurds claim their origin were Egyptian, and they governed parts of northeastern African and what is today Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. That was back in the 8th to 12th century, during which Saladin, who was the sultan of both Egypt and Syria, played a major historical role leading Muslim military forces against the Christian Crusader states during the Third Crusade, and leading those forces to victory in 1187, which resulted in Muslim ownership of the Levant, even though the Crusaders continued to technically hold the Kingdom of Jerusalem for another hundred years or so, until 1291.Saladin was Kurdish and kicked off a sultanate that lasted until the mid-13th century, when a diverse group of former slave-soldiers called the mamluks overthrew Saladin's family's Ayyubid sultanate and replaced it with their own.So Kurdish is a language spoken in that Kurdistan region, and the Kurds are considered to be an Iranian ethnic group, because Kurdish is part of a larger collection of languages and ethnicities, though many Kurds consider themselves to be members of a stateless nation, similar in some ways to pre-Israel Jewish people, Tibetan people under China's rule, or the Yoruba people, who primarily live in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo, but who were previously oriented around a powerful city-state in that region, which served as the central loci of the Ife Empire, before the Europeans showed up and decided to forcibly move people around and draw new borders across the African continent.The Kurds are likewise often politically and culturally powerful, and that's led to a lot of pushback from leaders in the nations where they live and at times operate as cultural blocs, and it's led to some very short-lived Kurdish nations these people have managed to establish in the 20th century, including the Kingdom of Kurdistan from 1921-1924, the Republic of Ararat from 1927-1930, and the Republic of Mahabad, which was formed as a puppet state of the Soviet Union in 1946 in northwestern Iran, following a Soviet push for Kurdish nationalism in the region, which was meant to prevent the Allies from controlling the region following WWII, but which then dissolved just a few months after its official formation due to waning support from the Kurdish tribes that initially helped make it a reality.What I'd like to talk about today is the Kurdistan Worker's Party, and why their recently declared ceasefire with Turkey is being seen as a pretty big deal.—The Kurdistan Worker's Party, depending on who you ask, is a political organization or a terrorist organization. It was formed in Turkey in late-1978, and its original, founding goal was to create an independent Kurdish state, a modern Kurdistan, in what is today a small part of Turkey, but in the 1990s it shifted its stated goals to instead just get more rights for Kurds living in Turkey, including more autonomy but also just equal rights, as Kurdish people in many nations, including Turkey, have a long history of being discriminated against, in part because of their cultural distinctiveness, including their language, manner of dress, and cultural practices, and in part because, like many tight-knit ethnic groups, they often operate as a bloc, which in the age of democracy also means they often vote as a bloc, which can feel like a threat to other folks in areas with large Kurdish populations.When I say Kurdish people in Turkey have long been discriminated against, that includes things like telling them they can no longer speak Kurdish and denying that their ethnic group exists, but it also includes massacres conducted by the government against Kurdish people; at times tens of thousands of Kurds were slaughtered by the Turkish army. There was also an official ban on the words Kurds, Kurdistan, and Kurdish by the Turkish government in the 1980s, and Kurdish villages were destroyed, food headed to these villages was embargoed, and there was a long-time ban on the use of the Kurdish language in public life, and people who used it were arrested.As is often the case in such circumstances, folks who support the Kurdish Worker's Party, which is often shorthanded as the PKK, will tell you this group just pushes back against an oppressive regime, and they do what they have to to force the government to backtrack on their anti-Kurdish laws and abuses, which have been pretty widespread and violent.The PKK, in turn, has been criticized for, well, doing terrorist stuff, including using child soldiers, conducting suicide bombings, massacring groups of civilians, engaging in drug trafficking to fund their cause, and executing people on camera as a means of sowing terror.Pretty horrible stuff on both sides, if you look at this objectively, then, and both sides have historically justified their actions by pointing at the horrible things the other side has done to them and theirs.And that's the context for a recent announcement by the leader of the PKK, that the group would be disarming—and very literally so, including a symbolic burning of their weapons in a city in northern Iraq, which was shared online—and they would be shifting their efforts from that of violent militarism and revolution to that of political dialogue and attempting to change the Turkish government from the inside.Turkish President Erdogan, for his part, has seemed happy to oblige these efforts and gestures, fulfilling his role by receiving delegates from the Turkish, pro-Kurd party, the DEM Party, and smilingly shaking that delegate's hand on camera, basically showing the world, and those who have played some kind of role in the militant effort against the Turkish government, that this is the way of things now, we're not fighting physically anymore, we're moving on to wearing suits and pushing for Kurdish rights within the existing governmental structures.The founder of the PKK, Abdullah Ocalan, got in on the action, as well, releasing a seven-minute video from prison, which was then broadcast by the PKK's official media distribution outlet, saying that the fighting is over. This was his first appearance on camera in 26 years, and he used it to say their effort paid off, the Kurds now have an officially recognized identity, and it's time to leverage that identity politically to move things in the right direction.Erdogan's other messages on the matter, to the Kurdish people, but also those who have long lived in fear of the PKK's mass-violence, have reinforced that sentiment, saying that the Kurds are officially recognized as a political entity, and that's how things would play out from this point forward—and this will be good for everyone. And both sides are saying that, over and over, because, well, child soldiers and suicide bombings and massacres conducted by both sides are really, really not good for anyone.By all indications, this has been a very carefully orchestrated dance by those on both sides of the conflict, which again, has been ongoing since 1978, and really picked up the pace and became continuous and ultra-violent, in the 1980s.There was an attempted peace process back in the 20-teens, but the effort, which included a temporary truce between 2013 and 2015, failed, following the murder of two Turkish police officers, the PKK initially claiming responsibility, but later denying they had any involvement. That led to an uptick in military actions by both groups against the other, and the truce collapsed.This new peace process began in 2024 and really took off in late-February of 2025, when that aforementioned message was broadcast by the PKK's leader from prison after lawmakers from the pro-Kurdish DEM Party worked to connect him and the Turkish government, and eventually helped negotiate the resulting mid-May of 2025 disarmament.Turkey's military leaders have said they will continue to launch strikes against PKK-affiliated groups that continue to operate in the region, and the PKK's disarmament announcement has been embraced by some such groups, while others, like the Syrian Democratic Forces, which is tied to the PKK, but not directly affiliated with them, have said this truce doesn't apply to them.Most governments, globally, have heralded this disarmament as a major victory for the world and Turkey in particular, though the response within Turkey, and in Kurdish areas in particular, has apparently been mixed, with some people assuming the Turkish government will backtrack and keep the DEM Party from accomplishing much of anything, and worrying about behind-the-scenes deals, including a reported agreement between Erdogan's government and the DEM Party to support Erdogan's desire to transform the Turkish government into a presidential system, which would grant him more direct control and power, while others are seemingly just happy to hear that the violence and fear might end.Also notable here is that a lot of Turkey's foreign policy has revolved around hobbling and hurting the PKK for decades, including Turkey's initial hindering of Sweden's accession to NATO, which was partly a means of getting other nations to give the Turkish government stuff they wanted, like upgraded military equipment, but was also a push against the Swedish government's seeming protection of people associated with the PKK, since Sweden's constitution allows people to hold all sorts of beliefs.Some analysts have speculated that this could change the geopolitics of the Middle East fundamentally, as Turkey has long been a regional power, but has been partly hobbled by its conflict with the PKK, and the easing or removal of that conflict could free them up to become more dominant, especially since Israel's recent clobbering of Iran seems to have dulled the Iranian government's shine as the de facto leader of many Muslim groups and governments in the area.It's an opportune time for Erdogan to grab more clout and influence, in other words, and that might have been part of the motivation to go along with the PKK's shift to politics: it frees him and his military up to engage in some adventurism and/or posturing further afield, which could then set Turkey up as the new center of Muslim influence, contra-the Saudis' more globalized version of the concept, militarily and economically. Turkey could become a huge center of geopolitical gravity in this part of the world, in other words, and that seems even more likely now that this disarmament has happened.It's still early days in this new seeming state of affairs, though, and there's a chance that the Turkish government's continued strikes on operating PKK affiliated groups could sever these new ties, but those involved seem to be cleaving to at least some optimism, even as many locals continue hold their breath and hope against hope that this time is different than previous attempts at peace.Show Noteshttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/heres-what-to-know-about-turkeys-decision-to-move-forward-with-swedens-bid-to-join-natohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_PKK%E2%80%93Turkey_peace_processhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2%80%932015_PKK%E2%80%93Turkey_peace_processhttps://carnegieendowment.org/emissary/2025/05/turkey-pkk-disarm-disband-impacts?lang=enhttps://www.middleeasteye.net/news/pkk-claims-deadly-suicide-bombing-turkish-police-stationhttps://web.archive.org/web/20161016064155/https://hrwf.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Child-soldiers-in-ISIS-PKK-Boko-Haram%E2%80%A6.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Workers%27_Partyhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2025/jul/11/kurdistan-workers-party-pkk-burn-weapons-in-disarming-ceremony-videohttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/18/turkiye-pkk-analysis-recalibrates-politicshttps://time.com/7303236/erdogan-war-peace-kurds/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/19/unidentified-drone-kills-pkk-member-injures-another-in-iraqhttps://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/unidentified-drone-kills-pkk-member-injures-another-near-iraqs-sulaymaniyah-2025-07-19/https://www.aljazeera.com/video/inside-story/2025/7/11/why-has-the-pkk-ended-its-armed-strugglehttps://archive.is/20250718061819/https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025-07-17/ty-article-opinion/.premium/how-the-possible-end-to-turkeys-kurdish-problem-could-become-israels-turkey-problem/00000198-1794-dd64-abb9-bfb5dbf30000https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kurdish_dynasties_and_countrieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Kurdish_nationalism This is a public episode.

It has often been pointed out that legends of a great Flood in the ancient past are a part of the traditions of cultures around the world. But, how many Flood stories are there exactly? Do the histories of Native American tribes or the peoples of East Asia reveal a distant memory of the Flood of Noah? Join Timothy Mahoney and Nick Liguori, author of, "Echoes of Ararat Vol.1-2," as they take a deep dive into this topic and the accuracy it reveals for the Book of Genesis.         ➡️ HELP US FUND THE NEXT FILM!

How did slow animals like sloths get from Noah's Ark in the mountains of Ararat to the jungles of South America? Is that a death blow to creationist thinking? Paul and Todd give some basic answers to this question and more in their latest episode as they wrap up their short series describing the world after the Flood. Listen in on their conversation to find out how the residual catastrophism of earthquakes and volcanoes and glaciation combine with ideas of diversification within created kinds to explain how animals got to their present homes.

For many decades, agencies within the United States government have collected information on a range of different unexplained phenomena. From military encounters involving UFOs, to possible evidence of ancient mysteries collected during reconnaissance missions by spy planes, several examples of the U.S. government's "anomaly files" have been made public through inquiries under the Freedom of Information Act.  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the Defense Department's current investigations into unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), along with questions that remain about one of its most famous cases. Finally, we also explore claims revealed in CIA files involving remote viewing, the discovery of the mythical "Ark of the Covenant," and an anomaly spotted on a mountainside in Turkey during Cold War-era CIA spy plane reconnaissance flights.    Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.

When 41-year-old Lindsay Jellett failed to return home from his evening walk around the Victorian town of Ararat in May 1994, staff at his residential care unit were immediately worried. As well as being intellectually disabled, Lindsay had epilepsy, which required nightly medication, and it wasn't like him to lose track of time. As daybreak emerged, a grim discovery led to the question – who would want to hurt this innocent man?---Narration – Anonymous HostResearch & writing – Vikki PetraitisCreative direction – Milly RasoProduction and music – Mike MigasMusic – Andrew D.B.
