Will We Ever Find Noah’s Ark?

The ark landed “on the mountains of Ararat,” so there’s a huge area that it could’ve come to rest on! But the ark might not even be around to find anymore.

All this week we’ve looked at potential ark sightings. We’ve found they aren’t very convincing. So, will we ever find Noah’s ark?

Well, Genesis says the ark landed “on the mountains of Ararat,” so there’s a huge area that it could’ve come to rest on! But the ark might not even be around to find anymore.

You see, Noah and his family may have “repurposed” large amounts of the lumber, perhaps for firewood or maybe building projects.

Wooden structures, even if covered with pitch, don’t last very long without regular upkeep. The ark has likely decayed away in four-and-a-half-thousand years.

So, it’s not likely we’ll find the ark, but is that really a problem? Tune in tomorrow to find out.
