According to the Bible account in the book of Genesis, Noah's Ark came to rest over 4300 years ago on the mountains of Ararat.
Based upon the information which I have gathered, I believe that Noah's Ark does exist on Mount Ararat also known as Mount Judi by some Muslim scholars. It has been preserved all of these years by the hand of God and exists the ice fields on Ararat.
This mountain is home to many mysteries, dangers and troubles.

According to the Bible account in the book of Genesis, Noah's Ark came to rest over 4300 years ago on the mountains of Ararat.
Did you know that Mount Ararat is a volcano and experienced a serious earthquake in 1840? Also, we call the mountain: Ararat but the Qur'an calls the location Mount Judi (XI. 44). Are these two different places? Local people call it Agri Dagh which means Mountain of Pain.
Located in the northeast corner of Turkey, Mount Ararat is close to the borders of Iran and Armenia (formerly Soviet Union). This location does not provide a hospitable environment for an exploratory search for Noah's Ark. It is a hot spot for arms trading with Iran for the mountain provides good refuge for bandits.
Ark Researchers believe that Noah's Ark does exist on Mount Ararat aka Mount Judi and that it's been preserved all of these years by the hand of God and exists the ice fields on Ararat.
However, the Great Flood should not be confused as the Flooding of the whole World, but just the Dead Sea, as geological Evidence has shown might have really happened there, which was as good as the their whole World, to those people.

For some 60 years or better there has been some debate if the ark rests on a Turkish mountain named Ararat. Some aerial photos show a dark area that some say is not a natural structure. One would think they could go there and look. But it is a very forbidding environment. Besides that, the Turks do not allow a great deal of exploration.

My thoughts on this is that when all the water finally went away and they came out of the ark, they would have needed wood for cooking and for keeping warm. Even if they cut trees down, trees have to be seasoned for a year before they will burn. I believe that they would have had to bust up the ark and use it for firewood in order to survive. Therefore, I do not believe any one will ever find the ark.

No, the ark hasn't been found because it came from a story of faith written around 500 BC. Come on with the thumbs down!

Supposedly it was found in like, the mountains of Turkey or something, but everyone's camera magically breaks before they get a picture of it.
So, no.

esero26 is correct wood only lasts so long. Viagra helps but you still wind up with the same results.
