Have Pieces of the Ark Been Found?

This is Ken Ham, editor of the popular The Answers Book for Kids series.

Over the years, I’ve heard many claims that the remains of Noah’s ark have been found.

Once an adventurer claimed he saw a beam from the ark and a dark object under the ice in Turkey. He even brought a piece of the beam back with him. But this wood is only as old as the time of Jesus, and some members of the expedition say the man bought the wood on the way up the mountain.

Another team claimed to find an object high up one mountain that looked like blackened, petrified wood but geologists believe it’s just a common rock formation, not wood at all.

So will we ever find Noah’s ark? Come back tomorrow to find out!
