1) You can't really say there isn't any proof until all attempts to find proof have been exhausted, and they haven't yet. You can only really say "??Why isn't there any proof to date of Noah's ark on Mt Ararat?"
2) There may be proof. Many archaeological discoveries are kept secret for years to protect them from both looters and those with agendas. It would have been wonderful if those two giant carvings of Buddha had been kept from the Taliban. (They destroyed them.)
3) Maybe it's somewhere else. The mountain we call Ararat today may (it's possible) not be the mountain known as Ararat thousands of years ago. Names, boundaries, capitals change with time and civilizations.

It is not just one mountain. Ararat is a chain of mountains that go on for hundreds of miles. There have been some sightings of what people thought were the Ark, but I don't think they ever concluded anything. Kind of like finding a needle in a haystack. Plus, even though it was made of gopher wood, which is very strong, I'm sure it's decayed by now, unless it was fossilized somehow, in which case it would probably be buried in the mountain chain somewhere, not just laying on top waiting to be discovered. Read your Bible. Have faith that God's word is true.

A) How can we be sure that the Mountain we call 'Ararat' today is the same one from thousands of years ago?
B) Though "blood evidence lasts forever", I don't remember anyone bleeding just after the flood - - - seriously, how long do you expect wood or footprints to last in a world with an active environment?
C) Humans have an ongoing cult of personality, particularly about religious things. In the Middle Ages, enough chunks of wood purported to be from the 'true cross' were bought to cover Jerusalem to a depth of about 2 feet.
Once native Egyptians discovered that archaeologists would pay big bucks for mummies, no corpse in any graveyard in Egypt was safe!
How do we know that the great-great grandchildren of Noah didn't collect all the evidence as 'souvenirs', thus making it impossible to find on Ararat today?

Because it never happened. There have been a couple of dozen clowns who have claimed to have found Noah's Ark...and none of them have ever been confirmed. Their "proof" is badly staged photos and anecdotes that are so absurd that one has to wonder about the mental state of those who beleive them.
BTW: Don't cite "Dr. Dino" as a source. He's been discreditied for years.
Hell, he isn;t even a real doctor. He got his diploma from a diploma mill.

It's not on mount ararat. It's actually been found in the mountains of ararat( in the mountain ranges rather than on the specific mountain) Just like the bible says.

Because people arent even sure if it even landed on Mt.Ararat. In the bible, The ark landed in a region the size of several small countries... To pin point such a small area to search would be almost impossible. Though there are pictures saying that it landed there, theres also several other pictures stating that it landed several hundred miles away...

That's too easy for them to counter. Try asking them a tougher question like: How did noah manage to fit 60,000 different species of beatles, 100,000 different species of spiders, all of the fresh water fish species, (and the list goes on and on) on a wooden boat?
Noah's ark is a fairy tale.

Some guy went in there, you have to get Permission, and snuck an Underground Radar System in.
He located the ribs of some kind of a Ship under the ground.
He couldn't dig it up, local officials "kind of thing" would not permit it.

That would be ...the mountains of ararat, plural. Its a long mountain range.
Wood decays.
