The story of Noah and the ark, which can be found in Genesis chapter  through 10, is a well known story of a man named Noah following God's will.  Throughout the story, we see Noah building an ark, as well as animals gathering, and rain coming down for 40 days.  The most interesting thing about this is that the story of Noah is in all religions.  The only contrasting idea that exists is the actual name of the man, Noah.  In 1955, Fernan Nervaran and his son Raffaele went to begin their investigations to find the ark on Mount Ararat which is located in Turkey.  Fernan said that the wood was rather easy to see frozen in the ice; he later got the wood tested.  The people said that the wood was beyond 5,000 years old which was in the era of Noah.   More people are making trips to the mysterious mountain more frequently to see this interesting artifact.  Some people claim to see the ark and others have no clue where to look. All I can say is that you never know until you try.
