According to researchers, the legendary biblical ship is located where it should be - on Mount Ararat
Revival on the Internet: the popular British newspaper Express reported that Noah's Ark was found - the very one thanks to which the biblical hero Noah saved himself, his family and all sorts of different creatures in pairs from the Flood. The remains of the ship were discovered by Chinese documentary film researchers from a group called Noah's Ark Ministries International (NAMI), which is based in Hong Kong.

"Novost" appeared on May 21, 2017. But the journalists of Express did not explain what became the informational occasion for her. After all, the event itself - namely, the Chinese visit to Noah's Ark - happened back in 2009. What they - the Chinese - talked about in 2010. And then they told many more times, touring with this story around the world.
Since 2010, no new details have been added. So Express brought all the same on behalf of the director of NAMI - a certain Jung Wing-Chung (Yeung Wing-cheung).
- Of course, there is no one hundred percent certainty that the legendary ship has been found, but 99.9 percent can be assumed that this is it, - said this Chung 7 years ago. And now he repeats.
The big question is whether the Chinese have really found something worthy of attention or are fooling the audience. But this is what is known from their words.
Allegedly, the path to Noah's ark was shown to the researchers by the Kurds, who led them along secret paths along the slope of Mount Ararat in October 2009. The vessel was at an altitude of just over 4 thousand meters.

“We saw an icy wooden platform with fragments of walls along the edges, it all looked like the remains of a huge wooden box,” said one of the expedition members Man-fai Yuen. - We even went inside and saw several compartments, fenced off by wooden beams. Most likely, the animals were housed there.
The Chinese broke off a few pieces from one of the girders - radiocarbon analysis showed that it was about 4,800 years old.
At first, the Chinese claimed that they could not shoot anything inside the ark - they say, some "miraculous force" disabled the video camera. To prove their discovery, they presented photographs of themselves against the background of snow-covered or rocky slopes. But then from somewhere there were pictures taken inside the ark. A video also appeared, which researchers began to show in many countries.
So, according to the assurances of the Chinese, one of the “ cabins ” looked Noah's Ark

By the way, the Turkish authorities admit that the remains of Noah's ark exist and are located on Mount Ararat, as indicated in the Bible. But officially they assign him another place in the area of the so-called "Ararat anomaly". It seems that there is a certain petrified skeleton that periodically appears from under the snow. Expeditions are not allowed there.
The Chinese found "their" ark 18 kilometers from the "anomaly."

HISTORICAL REFERENCE
And we were there
The Turkish government officially "closed" the slope of Ararat with the likely remains of the ark back in 1974. And before that, enthusiasts have been actively exploring it - since about 1800. They left their impressions in books and memoirs.
The writer Charles Berlitz in his book "The Lost Ship of Noah" cites the testimony of the Armenian Georgy Khagopyan. He said that in 1905, being an 8-year-old boy, he climbed Mount Ararat with his grandfather. Found the ark and went inside. On the upper deck I saw a superstructure with many windows. The body of the ark was huge and hard as stone.
In 1939, the American magazine New Eden published an interview with a former pilot of the Tsarist army, Lieutenant Vladimir Roskovitsky. He claimed to have discovered the ark in 1916 during a reconnaissance flight. Reported to the king. Nicholas II equipped an expedition - 150 people. In two weeks they reached the ark.
According to Roskovitsky, the ship looked like a giant barge and a freight car at the same time. Inside there were many rooms, large and small. Moreover, the little ones were covered with a metal mesh.
Alas, the expedition reports and photos disappeared during the revolution.

Common sense dictates that if the ark is real, then it should have rotted long ago. It's no joke - almost 5 thousand years have passed. And the ship was made of wood. Could a tree really have survived to our times? time we set
“It follows from the Bible that the ark was made of cedar or cypress,” explains Porcher Taylor, a well-known “arkologist” at the University of Richmond. - This wood is very durable.
According to Taylor, in July 1955, the French industrialist and explorer Fernand Navarra found a meter-long piece of petrified wood cut by human hands just a few meters from the "Ararat anomaly."
In addition, the ship could have been saved because it was frozen in ice.
Who knows, suddenly the remains of Noah's ark do exist. Moreover, the people who saw him do not lie and are not mistaken. In all the stories about the finds of Noah's ark, one thing confuses - they all come from amateurs in archeology. Professionals have never been involved in searches. And this does not allow to fully trust the stories of eyewitnesses. Especially those who repeat the same thing from year to year.
Serious scientists do not believe the Chinese. They consider their "movie about Noah's ark" a hoax.
