In early 1990s, actor George Jammal decided to "hoax the hoaxers" and
duped the future makers of the video "The Incredible Discovery of
Noah's Ark" into believing that he saw and touched Noah's Ark on Mount
Ararat. He made the hoax as blatant as possible, making up persons with
names such as "the Armenian friend, Mr. Allis Buls Hitian" or "my dear
Polish companion Vladimir Sobitchsky", and cooking a piece of pine in
sauce to present it as "a piece of the Ark" - and yet his story was
presented as the real thing and shown as the key testimony in the
video; after some time, humiliating its makers, Jammal publicly
revealed the details of his hoax.
