Many explorers have looked on Mt. Ararat for the remains of Noah's Ark. The Bible however, does not say that Noah's Ark landed on Mt. Ararat. It says that the Ark landed upon the mountains of Ararat. (mountains plural) An examination of the Hebrew manuscripts of Genesis reveals that actual wordage is that Noah's Ark landed upon the mountains of Urartu. (The whole mountainous region in far eastern Turkey.
Excerpt from Life magazine...
"While routinely examining aerial photos of his country, a Turkish army captain suddenly gaped at the picture shown above. There, on a mountain 20 miles south of Mt. Ararat, the biblical landfall of Noah's Ark, was a boat-shaped form about 500 feet long. The captain passed on the word. Soon an expedition including American scientists set out for the site.
At 7,000 feet, in the midst of crevasses and landslide debris, the explorers found a clear, grassy area...
A few years ago, i watched the videos of Mr.Wyatt and his archeological discoveries.
They were very interesting ,of course, but i always felt the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, and it took me awhile to realise why,they were produced by seventh day adventists.
Also, who hath required it at these peoples hands to find out these sites anyway? what scriptural authority do they have?
Finally, the photo shows a streamline shape, the ark was not a vessel that cut through the water on a journey, but a place of safety for those inside, which was a floating vessel, so i personally doubt the authenticity of this as actually the remains of the ark.
No Doubt about it. This is it. This is the ONE AND ONLY NOE'S ARK!Anyone with an honest and sincere heart who looks at the evidence, {multiplied evidences, that is}, will have the witness of the Spirit of Truth tell them "it is so"..."it is truth." Amen.
The reputed discovery of Noah's Ark by Mr. Ron Wyatt has been thoroughly and scientifically refuted by qualified scientists associated with Answers in Genesis. Their evidence is presented in the article at the following link:
The Answers-in-Genesis rebuttal to the rebuttal by Mrs. Wyatt (of their original article above) may be found at the following link:

The promotion of such sensational but fallacious evidence of a Biblical and historical event by those such as Mr. Wyatt destroys the credibility of everything else Christians proclaim on the authority of God's word.
Then go to www.answersingenesis.org and type in Ron Wyatt in their search field and learn of all the poor science and reluctance on their part to conclusively prove Wyatt's claims. I personally went to Tenessee to see his museum, (Ron is dead now, but another carries on)and found it very intriquing, but later found out how much their evidence really doesn't stand up. Though I do give him credit for finding the real Mt. Sinai before Bob Cornuke did!
There's an archeologist (amateur) by the name of Ron Wyatt who has researched this "Noah's Ark" site -- with VERY interesting results. His research seems pretty thorough, to me. Just go to a search engine and type in "Ron Wyatt" and see what you come up with. Also see wyattarchaeology.com, wyattmuseum.com, and anchorstone.com to name a few.
