Gunung Ararat Turki tempat Penemuan Bangkai Kapal Nabi Nuh
Para ahli arkeologi menemukan sebuah tempat yang
diperkirakan sebagai bangkai kapal Nabi Nuh.
Bagi umat Islam yang pernah membaca sejarah 25 Nabi dan
Rasul, pastinya mengetahui tentang kisah Nabi Nuh AS. Ia diutus oleh Allah SWT
untuk mengajak kaumnya menyembah Allah SWT. Dan, selama lebih kurang 950 tahun,
Nabi Nuh berdakwah kepada tiga generasi dari kaumnya. Dalam waktu yang panjang
itu, Nabi Nuh AS hanya mendapatkan pengikut sebanyak 70 orang dan delapan
anggota keluarganya.
Dalam Kisah, Nuh diperintahkan untuk membuat sebuah kapal sebagai persiapan bila siksa Allah berupa banjir telah datang. Nuh mengajak kaumnya untuk naik ke kapal dan hanya sedikit yang percaya kepada Nuh.
Setelah beberapa lama berlayar di atas lautan banjir, air pun menjadi surut.
Dan ketika banjir telah reda dan air telah surut, kapal Nabi
Nuh kemudian terdampar (berlabuh) di sebuah bukit tinggi (al Judy). Peristiwa
ini secara lengkap terdapat dalam Al Qur’an surah Nuh [71]: 1-28, Hud [11]:
25-33, 40-48, dan 89.
“Dan difirmankan: “Hai bumi telanlah airmu, dan hai langit
(hujan) berhentilah,” dan air pun disurutkan, perintah pun diselesaikan dan
bahtera itu berlabuh di atas bukit (judy) dan dikatakan: “Binasalah orang-orang
yang zalim”. (QS. Hud [11]: 40)
Peristiwa banjir besar yang melanda umat Nabi Nuh ini, tidak
hanya terdapat dalam AlQur’an, tetapi juga dalam agama dan kebudayaan negeri
lainnya. Dalam Bible (Injil), kisah serupa juga terdapat dalam Genesis 6: 15,
7: 4-7, 8: 3-4, dan 8: 29. Begitu pula, dalam Mitologi Sumeria, Akkadia,
Babilonia, serta kebudayaan India, Wales, Lithuania, dan Cina.
Peristiwa banjir yang menenggelamkan umat Nabi Nuh itu, kini
telah merebak ke seantero dunia. Para peneliti arkeologi, berlomba-lomba
mengungkap kebenaran cerita itu dengan meneliti tempat berlabuhnya kapal Nuh
tersebut.
Pemerintah Turki mengklaim, bahwa setelah lebih dari 5000
tahun terpendam, bangkai kapal Nuh tersebut ditemukan pada 11 Agustus 1979 di
wilayahnya. Bahkan, situs ini telah dibuka untuk umum dan menjadi objek wisata.
Pemerintah Iran juga melakukan penyelidikan di Gunung Sabalan, 300 km dari
situs pertama.
Dari beberapa foto-foto yang dihasilkan, lokasi gunung Ararat itu memang menunjukkan adanya sebuah perahu yang sangat besar. Ukuran perahu itu, diperkirakan memiliki luas 7.546 kaki dengan panjang sekitar 500 kaki, lebar 83 kaki dan tinggi 50 kaki. Dalam situs www.worldwide flood.com juga dibahas secara lebih mendetil, mulai dari ukuran perahu, hewan yang naik ke kapal, bahan-bahan yang dibutuhkan untuk membuat perahu, dan lain sebagainya.
Menurut Dr Whitcomb, dalam perahu itu terdapat sekitar 3.700 binatang mamalia, 8.600 jenis burung, 6.300 jenis reptilian, 2.500 jenis amfibi, dan sisanya umat Nabi Nuh. Adapun berat perahu itu diprediksikan mencapai 24.300 ton.
Kebenaran penemuan itu, masih diperdebatkan banyak pihak.
Namun, sejumlah peneliti percaya, bahwa pegunungan Ararat adalah tempat
berlabuhnya kapal Nuh. AlQur’an tidak menyebutkan nama sebuah gunung kecuali
nama al-Judy, yang bermakna sebuah tempat yang tinggi.
Archeologists found a place that is estimated as the wreck of Noah.For Muslims who have read the history of the 25 prophets and messengers, certainly know about the story of Noah. He was sent by God to bring his people to worship Allah. And, for about 950 years, Noah preached to the three generations of his kind. For a long period, the Prophet Noah just get as many followers 70 people and eight members of his family.In fact, Noah had been preaching day and night, but his people did not also willing to accept its presence as a messenger (apostle) of God Almighty. Until the end. He pleaded with God, so that his people who like to rebel was given a warning that they would worship God. Her prayer was granted by Allah SWT. He was ordered to make a ship in preparation for a flood when the punishment of God has come. Noah was ordered to include various species of animals in pairs, both wild and tame into the ship.So, after everything was ready, the followers of Prophet Noah and the animals had been on the Ship, the rain descended, the very bees resulting in major flooding. Apart from those who were on board, no one survived the flood. After some time sailing on a sea flood, water was to be receding.And when the flood has subsided and the water had receded, Noah's Ark and then stranded (anchored) on a high hill (al Judy). This event is fully contained in the Qur'an Surah Nuh [71]: 1-28, Hud [11]: 25-33, 40-48, and 89."And spoken:" O earth swallow thy water and O sky (rain) stop, "and water is receding because of His, the order was completed and the ship was anchored at the top of the hill (Judy) and said:" Woe to those who do wrong ". (Surah Hud [11]: 40)A similar story is also contained in various other chapters in the Koran, such as Al-Ankabut [29]: 14-15, Al Mu'minun [23]: 23-41, ash-Syuara [26]: 105-122, Al- A'raf [7]: 59-69, and Jonah [10]: 71-74.
Major flooding events that struck the people of Noah, not only in Qur'an, but also in religion and culture of other country. In the Bible (the Gospel), there is also a similar story in Genesis 6: 15, 7: 4-7, 8: 3-4, and 8: 29. Similarly, in Sumerian mythology, Akkadian, Babylonian, and the culture of India, Wales, Lithuania, and China.Flood events are drowning Noah's people, has now spread all over the world. The researchers archeology, vying with uncovering the truth of the story examines the place of Noah's ark berlabuhnya.A Dutch citizen, Johan Huibers, making replicas of Prophet Noah's ship a few years ago. Even though it was the taste it "crazy", he continued the project. The project is claimed as proof of his faith in God's faithfulness and His teachings.Huibers not only inspired by the story of Noah. But, the story of the ark (boat) berates year Noah has become an inspiration and conversation among the laity, archaeologists, and historians the world. Until they try to find a corpse or the remains of Noah's boat.Reportedly, some researchers have found valid evidence of the existence of Noah's vessel. Through research over berates-hundred years and observe the results of satellite photos, one of the sites relics believed to be the trace of the vessel is located in the mountains of Ararat, Turkey near the Iranian border.The Turkish government claimed, that after more than 5000 years of pent-up, Noah wreck was discovered on August 11, 1979 in the region. In fact, this site has been opened to the public and become a tourist attraction. The Iranian government also conducted investigations at Mount Sabalan, 300 km from the site first.As seen from the photographs alerts www.noahsark-naxuan.com site, the location of Mount Ararat, Turkey, seems a giant symmetrical shape like a boat basin. Allegedly soil, dust, and volcanic rocks have different ages, has entered into a boat for thousands of years so compacted and formed like a boat. In the vicinity was also found that the anchor stones, the ruins of former settlements, and the carving of the stone.Utilizing Google Earth satellite maps, site location Noah's boat was located at an altitude of about 2515 meters above sea level. The location is in the foothills of the rather flat. Whereas in the surrounding area there is still a giant valley which has a much lower altitude.Based on this, Noah's boat is expected to land at the time of the flood is still not completely subsided. It also suggests that the topography around the site of Noah's boat is very supportive for the occurrence of large floods.The existence of Noah's Ark in the mountains of Ararat was believed by investigators as the archaeological discovery of the stormiest in the world, besides Pharaoh's mummy. Therefore, the research has been done hundreds of times by involving experts and geologists, archaeologists and spacecraft to monitor and photograph the mountains of Ararat. And 'discovery' was considered the most excited and very valuable, because it happened more than 5000 years ago.In the vicinity of the object, also found a large stone with a hole carved. The researchers believe that the stone was drogue-stones.In ancient times, stones are usually used in the latter part of the boat (the wheel) to stabilize the boat. The researchers also found something unusual in the rock, namely the existence of a molecule of steel which has an estimated age thousands of years ago and made by human hands. Therefore, they believe, are the traces of the landing place of Noah boat.
From some of the photographs produced, the location of Mount Ararat did show the existence of a very large boat. The size of the boat, estimated to have an area approximately 7546 feet by 500 feet long, 83 feet wide and 50 feet high. In www.worldwideflood.com sites are also discussed in more detail, ranging from the size of boats, animals boarded the ship, the materials needed to make a boat, and so forth.Baidawi, one Muslim researchers explain, the size of the ship was about 300 cubits (about 50 meters long and 30 meters wide) and consists of three levels. At the first level is placed and the wild animals that have been tamed. Then, at the level of second-placed man, and the third the birds.There is also the opinion, the ship of Noah was sized larger than a football field. Wide on the inside enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. And the distance from one level to another level as high as 12 down to 13 feet. And animals of various species numbers are estimated in the tens of thousands.According to Dr. Whitcomb, in the boat there were about 3,700 mammals, 8600 species of birds, 6300 types of reptiles, 2,500 species of amphibians, and the rest of the people of Noah. The weight of the boat was predicted to reach 24,300 tons.According to some studies, Noah's boat was estimated to be around the year 3465 BC. And some scholars argue, the Prophet Noah's boat was built at a place called Shuruppak, which is a region located in southern Iraq. If the boat was built in southern Iraq (where Noah sent out) and ended up in Northern Turkey, most likely the ark had been carried as far as the water flows approximately 560 km.The discovery of truth, is still debated by many parties. However, some researchers believe, that the mountains of Ararat is where Noah's ship anchored. Qur'an does not mention the name of a mountain except the name of al-Judy, which means a high place.Mountain known as Mount Ararat in Turkey unique. Its uniqueness, almost every day will be a rainbow is seen from the north of the mountain top.In Turkey, the mountains of Ararat is known also as one who has a mountain peak in the world's largest and highest in Turkey. The highest peak reaching 16,984 feet above sea level, whereas the small peaks as high as 12,806 feet.According to experts, if someone managed to conquer the peak magnitude, they will see the four state region, namely Russia, Iran, Iraq, and Turkey
