It landed on Mt. Ararat... which I guess is in Turkey.

This article is about the vessel described in the Hebrew scriptures. For other uses, see Noah's Ark (disambiguation).
A painting by the American Edward Hicks (1780–1849), showing the animals boarding Noah's Ark two by two.
According to Abrahamic religions, Noah's Ark was a vessel built at God's command to save Noah, his family, and a core stock of the world's animals from the Great Flood. The story is mentioned in the book of Genesis, the Qur'an, and a number of other sources.
The story told in Genesis has been subject to extensive elaborations in the various Abrahamic traditions, mingling theoretical solutions to practical problems (e.g. how Noah might have disposed of animal waste) with allegorical interpretations (e.g. the Ark as a precursor of the Church, offering salvation to mankind).
By the 19th century, the growth of geology and biogeography as sciences meant that few natural historians felt able to justify a literal interpretation of the Ark story,[1] and biblical critics were turning their attention to its secular origins and purposes. Nevertheless, Biblical literalists today continue to take the Ark as test-case for their understanding of the Bible, and to explore the region of the mountains of Ararat in northeastern Turkey where Genesis says Noah's Ark came to rest

On a mountain in modern Turkey probably and since most foreigners aren't welcome there especially some looking for it my guess is it will never be found. Saw a special not to long ago on it by the History channel or Discovery one, the whole team of experts where run of the mountains by the locals, not a place you want to be.

Actually, do you really think they would have just left it? Surely they would have recycled all that wood - made a house out of it or something.

It's silly to think they just beached it somewhere and walked away. It would be a little difficult if it were high in the mountains, but I still think they would have salvaged what they could.

On top of Mt. Ararat in Turkey

It's part of the soil now, unless for some strange reason it was petrified somehow. It would be more than 3000 years old now.

As with many of the biblical tales, it was an allegory meant to describe a lesson in a manner that could be interpreted by the masses using a form that could be easily understood and was never meant to be taken literally.

When last seen it was a tall tale in the Holy Bible which a Bronze Age bloke in the desert had plagiarized from an ancient religion.

They haven't ever found it , pranksters claimed they found it on Mount Ararat only it was proved to be a fraud just as big foot in the US and fairy's in the garden in England.
