No. The ark doesn't exist since there was never a flood that covered the entire earth. For believers in the flood you have to answer a couple of logical questions. Where did this water come from? Where did it go? Was it fresh water or salt water? Why are there particular animals that only live in certain parts of the world? Did Noah stop in Australia and let the kangaroos off and then head to the Arctic and drop off the polar bears? Certain animals are carnivores. Did Noah bring in a herd of cattle to feed the lions and tigers? Then there is the question of whether the modern Mount Ararat in Turkey is the Ararat even mentioned in the Bible.
There are flood legends in many cultures and to believe that this entire planet was covered in water just defies belief.

The true Ark, was never really lost .. And plenty of people in high and low places know where the ark is at this very moment..... Also the Cathloic Church has tried to buy it and steal it with no success I am happy to say... But please believe this: When the Ark was removed from from what is now Isreal to it new home, over a few thousand years ago.. It has remained there even to this present day............... I won't give you it location because I was you to be totally surprise after you read up on it. And learn the true reason why it was taken there..............................................................

Some people believe that Noah's Ark came to rest & is still to be found on a Mount Ararat in Turkey. There have been pictures taken of it from space as well as from the mountain itself. I think that there has been a book written by the man who climbed the mountain & took the pictures as well as an account given by his climbing guide. The second link seems kind of screwy, but I thought I would add it anyway.

The Ark of the Covenant many have been taken to Elephantine Island & then on to Ethiopia. There is a Jewish Sect there that says they have guarded it for thoushands of years. I've got some information on it somewhere & will try to find it for you.

The BBC reckon that the ark is in a hut in Ethiopia. Broadcast approx 3-4 years ago. It is under constant security by ethiopian christian monks.
This is where the trail ended, and the monks would not allow anyone in. So the proof of it existance could nor be.....proved!!

the ark of the covenant might have actualy existed,the blue print(sorta blueprints)shows how it could have been made,but would have been very very heavy,as for noah's ark,the story is older than the bible story,it goes back through history long before noah,and his ark,their are many,many tales of the world being flooded,and since the bible version is full of holes ,it is 99.9% just a story

I believe the Ark is under the Sphinx. They did find proof of a 'room' , but excavation was halted by the Egyptian government. They will not allow anyone to excavate under the Sphinx.

When the Turkish government wont let people go up there, it makes you wonder what they have to hide.
