Noah's Ark according to the Bible, came to rest on Mount Ararat after the flood. Mount Ararat is in Northern Turkey close to the Albanian border.

Noah's flood is a version of an actual event in which the Black Sea expanded dramatically. The ancestral homeland of the Jewish people other than Palestine is in Armenia, so it was probably built there, where the Black Sea had swelled so much it flooded.
Any boat Noah may have built has long since rotted away now. It exists only in myth and legend.

Reality check: it never existed, it's a "myth", a story.
Seriously, imagine if it really existed: who would clean up all the nasty poop and peep constantly coming out of the animals? What would the animals have eaten? What would prevent a predator like a lion from kllling and eating goats or other species?
Noah's Ark is a myth, a metaphorical story of the Old Testament!!!!

Or it is in Ararat or only in the imagination of the people. Someone says on the Ararat in Turkey close to Albanian border. Well Albania to Macedonia and Greece, so how come it also borders on Turkey?

i have heard over the years that it was found in the mountains of what is contested land between russia and china, etc.
factually though, the wood was most likely used to build pens for animals, houses for the people and maybe even firewood to cook over, once the ark came to rest.
remember that all of the wood and forrest were saturated with water, if not still underwater, and could not be used at that time.

If it ever did exist...which it may not have, it was probably chopped up and used for firewood our to build housing, or it probably just rotted.
There is no evidence of a world wide flood. Any flood would have had to have been a local one.

The last I heard it was somewhere in northern Canada. Noah still won't listen to his wife and admit that he is lost.
