The alleged sightings of vessels or portions of vessels on Mt. Ararat go back for decades. Of course, all of these accounts could not refer to the actual ark, as so many of them differ greatly in the location and elevation of the reported sightings. To date, while aerial photographs have even been taken of some objects, there has been no confirmed sighting or first hand physical evidence of the ark of Noah.

It is our perspective that while some physical evidence of the ark may still exist in the "mountains of Ararat" (which the scriptures refer to—not just the mount), it is likely that God will not allow a full discovery or disclosure of such until it meets His purpose. Such a confirmed discovery would surely have a very strong impact on the acceptance of the biblical record—something many liberal scholars strive to discount.
