But up to now the mystery has remained - Does Noah's Ark still exist? And if it does, then where is it?
A team of researchers believe they are now on the brink of finding it. The Bible records that Noah's Ark landed on top of Mount Ararat in modern-day Turkey. Today, in the vicinity of Mount Ararat lies a 538-long mound known as the Durupinar site. The mound is in the shape of a boat. It is said to uncannily match the exact dimensions of Noah's Ark as described in the Book of Genesis.
