I'm don't know if this has already been asked, but here is the link:

And here is a portion of that article to entice you to read it:
Texas archaeologists believe they may have located the remains of Noah's Ark in Iran's Elburz mountain range.
I can't imagine what it could be if it is not the Ark," said Arch Bonnema of the Bible Archaeology Search and Exploration (B.A.S.E) Institute, a Christian archeology organization dedicated to looking for biblical artifacts.
Bonnema and the other B.A.S.E. Institute members hiked for seven hours in the mountains northwest of Tehran, climbing 13,000 feet before making the apparent discovery.
"We got up to this object, nestled in the side of a hill," said Robert Cornuke, a member of the B.A.S.E. Institute. "We found something that has my heart skipping a beat."
At first, they didn't dare to hope it was the biblical boat.
"It wasn't impressive at first," Cornuke said. "Certainly didn't think it to be Noah's Ark. But when we got close, we were amazed. It looked similar to wood."
In addition, some B.A.SE. members say, their discovery didn't look very distinctive.
"It looked like the deck of any boat today," Bonnema said.

Interesting! Maybe it is but people still won't believe!

They say "We found something that appears to be similar to wood" and immediately it's Noah's ark. Doesn't it seem a little biased that they are also a religious archaeological team? Let me know when you have some real evidence. My desk is also made of wood, maybe it's part of the ark. C'mon use some common sense.

Do not believe something simply because you have heard it. Do not believe anything simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not believe anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of teachers, elders, or wise men. Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all. Then accept it, and live up to it.

I don't know if it is the ark or not. And it may never be known.
However, it is weird to find a boat on a mountain, don't you think?

There were many Noahs' Arks. And you can find them all over the world.

Similar to wood?
So basically they found something that looked like wood and they said "Hey, we found Noah's ark!"

" I can't imagine what it could be if it is not the Ark, said Arch Bonnema "
this sounds so much like any other Christian explanation. "I can't image the bible is not true, so it's true."
but i'll be waiting for more proof like animal-bones, etc, etc.
