According to the Bible and history, Noah's Ark allegedly came to rest on top of Mt. Ararat in what is today the country of Turkey. Marco Polo mentioned traveling through the area in his book, The Travels of Marco Polo. Many say he claimed to see a boat-like structure atop the mountain.
Since Mt. Ararat is covered in trecherous glaciers, no one has ever been able to climb to the top to find out if Noah's Ark is really up there. To complicate things further, the country of Turkey has forbidden any archaelogical expeditions to explore the area for many years. However, satellite images have shown the possibility of something peeking through the glaciers, giving a tataliaing glimpse into what may be one of the greatest archaelogical finds of all time.
If an expedition did manage to reach the top of Mt. Ararat and no Ark was found, how would this affect Christianity? What would those who do not believe in Christianity do with this information? Is it better to never know if the Ark is there? Post your thoughts!
