Has Noah's Ark been found? Some are skeptical, of course, but it seems that Noah's ark may have been found on Mt. Ararat in Turkey. I guess I'd ask: if it's not Noah's Ark, then what is it, and how could such a vessel or structure end up 13,000 feet up in the mountains? I guess time will tell.
Quote from the Bible: "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."(Genesis 8:4)
Article from TheSun (UK):
THE remains of Noah's Ark have been discovered 13,000ft up a Turkish mountain, it has been claimed.
A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers say they have found wooden remains on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey.
They claim carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old — around the same time the ark was said to be afloat.
Yeung Wing-Cheung, from the Noah's Ark Ministries International research team, said: "It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it."
Dig
He said the structure contained several compartments, some with wooden beams, that they believe were used to house animals.
The group of evangelical archaeologists ruled out an established human settlement on the grounds none have ever been found above 11,000ft in the vicinity, Yeung said.
Local Turkish officials will ask the central government in Ankara to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status so the site can be protected while a major archaeological dig is conducted.

1 The Bible clearly states MountainS of Ararat, 2 they didn't find a 500' long anything. They found something built with human hands using millennia-old timbers - very likely from Noah's Ark, which is on 'Doomsday Mountain'.
Read your Bible, folks, Then speak to locals about legends, lore, knowledge passed down - as in place NAMES. Valley of Eight... eight Byzantine-like crosses on enormous drogue stones, etc.
And whatever you do - ignore David Fasold. He turned out to be Ron Wyatt's Judas.
