Geologists have found sidimentary deposits throughout the world with fossilized remains of animals and plants, oftentimes from different geological, climatic areas of the world, indicator of a world wide flood.
A possible way this occured was with a shift in the axis of the earth due to a comet or astroid. The oceans would overflow the land. It would also cause volcanic activity that would cause dust then condensation and precipitation, a cloud canopy.
Other than the bible there are over 200 historical records that report a similar story. One of these was on cunniform tablets. There are forty accounts from american Indians of the Noah flood before the Europeans arrived in America, the Navjo Indians, for example.
700 years before Christ, there are accounts of pilgrims climbing up to scrape tar off the vessel found on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey to make good luck relics.
300 years before Christ, a Babylonian priest states on tablets that remains of the arc could be seen and some get pitch to make amulets.
30 years before Christ, Egyptian historian of Phonicia mentioned the Arc, {Hieronymous, spelled as it sounded when I heard it}. Nicholas of Damascus mentions the Arc landing near the summit and timber was still there.
Marco Polo wrote of Noah's Arc on Mount Ararat in 1269 A.D.
In 1840 there was an earthquake. Turkish authorities sent teams of workers up the mountain to build protective barriers against the avalanches. One team discovered a part of an old ship. They reported seeing several stalls and cages.
In the 1800's people came to see for themselves. In 1876, a British statesman, a journalist and author, Sir James Brice, returned with a four foot long, five inch wide, partially petrified, hand tooled piece of timber. Newspapers printed the event but most scientists didn't believe it. This discovery came at a time when the theory of evolution was gaining in popularity. In 1883, a Turkish commission investigating avalanches reported that they had seen Noah's arc. "They came upon a gigantic structure of very dark wood protruding from a glacier. It was in a good state of preservation. Four years later in 1887, April 25th, Prince John Joseph Nory saw Noah's arc wedged in the rocks and half filled with snow and ice. It was made of dark wood beams of very thick wood.
In 1902 an Armenian boy went with his uncle and their sheep and goats to Mount Ararat to graze their flocks in summer. When they got to the arc, they piled stones beside it so the boy could climb up to see on top.. The boy said it was long and flat except for a narrow, raised section from bow to stern. with holes in it. There was a big hole in the roof. He peaked in but couldn't see anything. He pulled a piece off the arc. It was made of wood and the grain was visible.
In 1916, two Russian aviators saw the remains of the Arc near a glacial pond while flying over. A report was sent to the tzar . He ordered two companies of soldiers to reach the site to do measurements and photos. There were hundreds of rooms, some had fences or cages.
Many scientists agree the numbers of species in those days would be between 1.544 and 2,392. There would have to be hundreds of rooms to accommadate that many species. Some of those animals in the cold climate and closed quarters would have gone into a hibernation state, making it easier for a small crew {family} to acre for them.
During world war 2 several airmen saw the arc locked in a glacial mass. One of those sightings was reported in a 1943 edition of the U,s army paper "Stars and Stripes". After world war 2, there were many flights over Mount Ararat by the Russsians. They had expeditions year after yaer from 1937-1947. Three photos were taken of the arc by the Russian air force. The prow was in a small body of water on a cliff about 1400 feet.
In 1952 an American pipline engineer George Green saw a portion of the arc when he was on a reconnaissance mission. He saw a portion protruding from the rocks. He reached for his camera and took photographs. In 1955 a French demolition engineer with his son Rapheal saw the arc in a crevice. He found a five foot, hand hewn piece of timber. Mount Ararat was completely barren of trees. He split some of it into pieces to submit to various experts.
One of the experiments was carbon 14 dating but it's accuracy has been criticized because environment can affect the material, contaminate it. He brought the pieces of wood to five prestigeous scientific institutions.

The wood is an oak wood covered with pitch. The tests to determine the gain in wood density and degree of fossilization showed the piece to be around 5,000 years old. The wood is as old as the historic account in the bible of the arc.
This kind of wood has a tight structure that makes the wood virtually waterproof.
The famous american spy plane "The U2" made world wide reconaissance missions for military intelligence. Many flights passed over Mount Ararat on the way to Russia. Many U.S pilots reported seeing what looked like a ship locked in the ice below.
In 1969 Ferdinand Nivera retraced his steps where he found wood in 1955. He started probing and found more wood. It was documented by a movie camera.
In 1972 Nassa launched a satalite. As it circled the earth it photographed Noah's arc. In 1974 an expedition took a photo of a prow. The planking can be seen.
The Turks call this mountain in eastern Turkey "Mountain of the Arc", The Russians call it "Mountain of Noah", The kurds believe that Noah's Arc rests on the mountain.
The summit is permanently covered with glacial ice and snow. Misty clouds create blizzards and at lower elevations thunderstorms. It is a difficult mountain to climb because of the climate and other hazards such as the avalanches, slippery rocks, poisonous snakes, etc. There aren't any trees for shelter or water other than when some glacier ice melts.
However future expeditions on this mountain will have to wait for peace in this sensitive area of the world between Turkey and Russia.
A model was made of the Arc. It had three decks. The top was probably occupied by family and food stuffs. The second level was divided into rows of stalls and tiers of cages. The third was for the storage of waste and balist. An expert estimated the boat's dimensions {length} could have carried 569 railroad cars or up to 30,000 animals and birds.
at a marine labatory they tested the model to see if it would be sea worthy. It had to be large enough to hold all the animals and stable enough to sustain waves of the flood, about 450 feet long and 75 feet wide and 45 feeet high. The model resembeled a long rectangular box. It would be slow moving but stable. The riding effect would be up to a tilt of 90 degrees. It would be allmost imposssible to capsize. It's low center of gravity gave it tremendous stability. It didn't have sails or a rudder but it wasn't designed to go anywhere, just to float.
