Searches for Noah's Ark

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! From at least the time of Eusebius (c. 275 ? 339 AD) to the present day, the search for the physical remains of Noah's Ark has held a fascination for Christians, Jews and Muslims. Despite many rumours, claims of sightings and expeditions no scientific evidence of the ark has ever been found. The search for the ark has been called a "wild goose chase" by some archaeologists. Noah's Ark is the huge vessel described in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Book of Genesis and the Qur'an, through which God saved Noah, together with the other seven members of his family, plus representatives of all the species of animals, from a cataclysmic flood with which he wished to exterminate all other life on Earth. It is described as 300 cubits long, or approximately 450 feet (137 m) - considerably longer than any wooden vessel ever built in historical times. According to Genesis 8:4, the Ark came to rest "in the mountains of Ararat."
