The Ark would have rotted long ago...if it ever existed. How could Noah build a ship 450' long? Even such a big one could not hold examples of all animals. It would fall apart in the sea. The logistics of loading animals and food for an extended voyage on a ship really big enough to hold several million animals are too formidable to be real. There is no geological evidence of a world flood, and there is not enough water to submerge all land. The tale of Noah's Ark is a myth copied from the Sumerian tale of Utnapishtam. The Greeks have a similar tale of Deucalion. I do not recall if it predates the Hebrew tale or not. There were unclear photos of something on Ararat that resembled a ship, but later and clearer ones show this is an illusion.

I think so. I know a guy, Dr. John Morris, who has been up in the mountains of Ararat about seven times but never found the ark. Because of the size and political difficulty of accessing that system of mountains, and the variable weather, he believes it is still up there but he just hasn't found it yet.
Based on the Bible, especially the worldwide flood, the evidence for which is everywhere, I believe the biblical account of the Flood. So I presume that old ark is out there somewhere.
God bless.

No, anyway it is nowadays impossible to build an ark for that purposes, it was told only to say that God was angry, and if He wants to destroy us he can... I wonder

No. That story's been around for years, nothing has ever come from it.
