I don't believe in god, but I could totally see there being a giant ****ing boat from that time that was a cool enough story to make it into the bible

Ya I'll agree on the possibility of a story being blown out of proportion and making it into the Bible, but the odds are stacked against any kind of interesting or conclusive Ark find. And as far as I know it never says mt ararat it says the boat landed on a mountain somewhere in eastern turkey but doesn't specify which one.

"The whole notion is odd, because the Bible tells you the ark landed somewhere in Urartu,"—an ancient kingdom in eastern Turkey—"but it's only later that people identified Mount Ararat with Urartu," said Jack Sasson, a professor of Jewish and biblical studies at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.
