Donald Mackenzie has been visiting Mount Ararat in Turkey for several years, searching for Noah's Ark, which according to the Bible was deposited by god on this mountain after the Noachain Flood. Although it seems to not have made news, Mackenzie was reported missing on October 14th.
Mr Mackenzie became interested in searching for Noah's Ark in his early 40s, and did a variety of jobs to fund his travels.
His mother said he is a Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland member because he believes it sticks closest to the Bible.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We can confirm that a British national has been reported missing in Turkey, and local authorities are investigating the reports.
"Staff are in touch with the family and are providing consular assistance."
Was he getting too close?

Or could it have been the work of...

Anyway, I hope he's okay - but it's a pretty big mountain near a somewhat unstable border region, so it doesn't sound good.
The aliens from Gamma Sutra needed ballast for their space ship.
My guess is that he was raptured like Jacob, or else he discovered the Ark of the Covenant instead and was stupid enough to look inside it.
My guess is that a burning bush told him to jump off a cliff - so he did.
Every reply has to be humorous? Even if the topic is so serious?
I know the guy was,(maybe still is) a certifiable eccentric, confined thinker, but he has probably become lost and perished. I hope the "differently oriented" guy is found alive.
