I have to wonder about these people...
They took images of a site from either satellite or aircraft, probably the latter based on angle and resolution.
The built a website of the images and made their claim known.
They did all sorts of work with the images to try and prove their claim.
But...
They never bothered to go up that mountain and take up close pictures and do research on the supposed relic.
I wonder if this is the same mountain in Turkey that some other idiot claimed to have the ark on it's top. If so the locals that lived below the mountain found it quite amusing to find western idiots climbing up to get a look at a supposed ancient ship up there. Before I may any real claims to the world where my reputation is at stake, I would think it would be wise to ask the villagers about it and make sure that isn't the ruins where old man Farelly tried to build a house a few years back.
I love the 'eyewitness' section of the page where it that a professor said something up there has the 'misures' of the ark. A bit misleading don't you think?

In 1985 , talking about the Ark, General Havens said:
"We've seen it. We have photos of it....It is on a ledge...My pilots had seen a similar structure on the north side of Mount Ararat..."
A similar structure on the north side too??? Just how many Arks are up there?
…Other relatives and friend of the alleged Russian discoverers such as Mrs. Gladys Evans have claimed that this incident was based in reality and have retold the stories as follows. Evans said that her father entertained three former Russian flyers who were part of the search team. They left her father a document (which has now been destroyed in cleaning) which stated the men’s names, birth places, ages, ranks in the Air Force, name of their plane. Mrs Evans continued below.
They told how the Ark was “half in and half out of a lake a log floating in water. It was an immense thing, and it had cages some with metal on them. It had a catwalk on top and the door was off. The door was nearby and had apparently been struck by lightning because it was partly burnt. The Ark was just as good as the day it was built.” The wood reminded them of oleander.
When they first saw the Ark from the air, they thought it was a submarine, but couldn’t figure out why someone would be building it on a mountain. On the later reconnaissance expedition, these three airmen actually got inside the Ark where they took pictures and measurements. The film was turned over to the Russian ...
This makes it clear that the ark is quite approachable, so where exactly are the modern expeditions with the major networks in tow?
I also wonder how anyone would confuse a large square box on the top of a mountain with a submarine.
If you need definitive proof, look at the drawing from Herb Knee. It's professional work from a six-year old artist, he even drew little circles in the air for clouds. One wonders what marvels he could have captured had cameras been around in the 1950's.
- Schwinghammer :....I can say to have seen something really strange on that mountain, but only expeditions and scientists can prove the presence of the ark....I believe in God...
Yet another person saying we need an expedition up there to prove anything.
Could there be something up there? Sure, but it's far more likely to be an ancient structure like a fortress or cabin than a ship. Of course the only way to know is to get up there and document it, something that these claimants seem unwilling to do.
