Noah’s Ark Quest Dead in Water — Was It a Stunt?

In April businessman and Christian activist Daniel McGivern announced
with great fanfare a planned summer expedition to Mount Ararat in
Turkey. The project, he said, would prove that the fabled Noah’s ark
was buried there.
Explorers have long searched for the ark on the Turkish mountain. At
a news conference in Washington, D.C., McGivern presented satellite
images, which he claimed show a human-made object – Noah’s ark – nestled
in the ice and snow some 15,000 feet (4,570 meters) up the mountain.

“We are not excavating it,” McGivern told the audience. “We’re going
to photograph it and, God willing, you’re all going to see it.” If
successful, he said, the discovery would be “the greatest event since
the resurrection of Christ.”
