Searching for the Ark
Since the 19th century, there have been numerous attempts to find the ark on the mountains of Ararat. These mountains have two prominent peaks, one 16,950 feet high and the other 12,840 feet. The higher of the two is perpetually covered by snow. Because of the climatic changes that followed the Flood, the ark would soon have been buried by snow. Some investigators firmly believe that the ark is still there, buried deep in a glacier. They claim that there have been periods when the ice melted sufficiently to permit part of the ark to be exposed temporarily.
The book In Search of Noah’s Ark quotes George Hagopian, an Armenian, who claimed that he climbed Mount Ararat and saw the ark in 1902 and again in 1904. On the first visit, he said, he actually climbed on top of the ark. “I stood up straight and looked all over the ship. It was long. The height was about forty feet [12 m].” Regarding his observation on his subsequent visit, he said: “I didn’t see any real curves. It was unlike any other boat I have ever seen. It looked more like a flat-bottomed barge.”
From 1952 to 1969, Fernand Navarra made four efforts to find evidence of the ark. On his third trip to Mount Ararat, he worked his way to the bottom of a crevasse in a glacier, where he found a piece of black wood embedded in the ice. “It must have been very long,” he said, “and perhaps still attached to other parts of the ship’s framework. I could only cut along the grain until I split off a piece about five feet [1.5 m] long.”
Professor Richard Bliss, one of several experts who examined the wood, said: “The Navarra wood sample is a structural beam and impregnated with bituminous pitch. It has mortise and tenon joints. And it’s definitely hand-hewn and squared.” The estimated age of the wood was set at about four or five thousand years.
Although efforts have been made to find the ark on Mount Ararat, the definite proof that it was used to survive a cataclysmic deluge exists in the written record of that event in the Bible book of Genesis.
The ark had a carrying capacity equal to that of 10 freight trains of about 25 American boxcars each!

be conscious that this is a million/twelfth of the dimensions, and they nevertheless did not flow it on a canal. locate me a maritime engineer that could want to layout a timber boat the dimensions of the ark that isn't chop up or leak like a sieve on a calm ocean swell and that i'll take the tale fairly extra heavily. also i must have neglected the bit about Noah making 6ft severe panes of glass. The domicile windows on the ark are defined as a unmarried window one cubit sq.. to grant sufficient ventilation over the three decks Noah would ought to layout a device to flow air notwithstanding the window at about 2 hundred mph. finally, the position did you get 40 days? it really is how lengthy it rained. pass back a re-study the passage. The animals were on the ark for one 3 hundred and sixty 5 days.

Read the story of Noak's Ark and tell me anything about could even remote be possible. It is fiction, not even original fiction at that. Like most of the bible the story of Noah's Ark is simply a re-telling of a myth from another civilization.

Trust me, you can't see it. Christianity is completely unproven, and if there was proof like the remains of Noah's Ark, EVERYBODY would know about it.
