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 gathered, 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.

Get your facts straight,
The real Ark landed on “the mountains of Ararat.” Mount Ararat consists of two mountains, or peaks, called Greater Ararat and Lesser Ararat. This boat-shaped formation is on neither of those mountains.
The shape of this formation is like a modern fossilized boat, but it does not fit the dimensions of Noah's Ark given in the Bible (length six times its width). The Bible says the width was 50 cubits (75 feet or 22.5 meters). That means it was rectangular, but you can see the formation pictured is only a few meters wide at the ends, not 50 cubits. This formation's width is all wrong.
Bible-believing geologists have thoroughly examined this object and found it is made of different types of rock. If it were the Ark it would contain fossilized wood, but it doesn't. Some people thought they found fossilized wood in it in the 1980s, but it turned out to be basalt (a volcanic rock).
The streamlined, pointed shape of the rock formation is unlike what Bible scholars and creationist scientists believe the Ark was like. They believe the real Ark had squared-off ends. It only had to float, and squared-off ends are the most stable shape. The Ark was not going anywhere, because it was merely a vessel for keeping alive the representative animals that God sent to Noah for preservation. So pointed ends would not be practical.
Other rock formations in the area are the same shape as the formation above, but they are of different sizes. The Turkish Air Force released the photo at right that shows three similar “ark” shapes on Lesser Mount Ararat. Supporters of the formation pictured at the top of this page chose it only because its length roughly matches the real Ark's length. They ignore the smaller, similar geological formations. All these formations seem to have formed when volcanic material flowed down the mountain.

The Ark may not be there any longer, but who is to say that it is not.
It would stand to reason that they dismantled it to some degree because they lived in it for nearly a year after they landed.
They would have needed homes and fire wood.
The Ark would have provided such necessities. I
t served it's purpose and became obsolete after that, not an object of worship.

Is the Klingon Empire doing the invisible shield thing over the Garden of Eden, too?

The "story" of the ark has passed the test of time, it is not only written in the Bible their are over 100 story's about the same thing found in different cultures and nations such as Mians and Chinese.

If I understand you correctly, yes it is yet to be graded (by us of course). I am curious at what time it will appear, I'm certain it will but very close to the end I think.

It doesn't matter. It will fail for plagiarizing Gilgamesh.
